  • This image is of a watercolor painting of a squid, created by LivInSeas! The squid has a slender body, and its arms and tentacles are splayed out and curled slightly. The squid is reddish. The base of its body is painted with a soft pink/grey color, with some darker red and gold highlights. The body is covered in a large amount of little, red spots, which give it a more reddish appearance and look almost freckle-like. Dotted across the entire body are larger spots that have a similar appearance to seeds on a strawberry. These spots appear to be shiny and silvery, with little blue dots/shading at the top and a pinkish hue in the middle. The squid has one deep, blue eye visible, which appears to look at the camera. At the top of the squid, two small, grey fins attach to the very top, which appear to be folded slightly. The grey fins have small dots of red in the middle close to the body.

  • This image shows a nudibranch sitting on top of a light, green piece of seaweed. The nudibranch is a pale flesh-tone in color. There's a few dark spots running along the top of the nudibranch. At the front of the nudibranch, two little eye stalks are visible, looking a little like bunny ears. Towards the back, little pale, fluffy appendages are visible, sticking out like a tail. Those are gills located around the anus!

  • Phytoplankton imaged under a microscope. The background is a deep, rich blue color. The phytoplankton are somewhat of an elongated oval in shape, with a bright, fluorescing sphere in the center. The phytoplankton seem to be see-through, their shape made visible by a faint outline around the edges. Surrounding the phytoplankton are a bunch of small, fluorescent rod-shaped bacteria. They look like sprinkles. A few are clinging to the edges of the phytoplankton cells.
