Was looking up what kind of sea creature to make a character design from, and the blue dragon sea slug was perfect.

When combatting art block, I’m going to use weird animals for inspiration for monster/alien romance characters. The Blue Dragon Sea Slug is experiment #1. I want to get less human-y with these eventually. So I’ll be working toward that. 🙃

A Blue Sea Dragon, a nudibranch/sea slug. A head with protrusions, with the neck flowing into two arms on either side, at the end of the arms are long "feathers" in gradient size (with the longest at the tip). A long body that gets thinner as it narrows to a tail. The rear "legs" are very short and also have fronds flowing off the ends with the centre one being very long. The tail just past the rear legs also contains fronds, from which the rest of the tail emerges and continues on to a long point. Its colouring is a white base with cobalt blue striped running along the body and on the fronds.

An art installation on a wall in an alcove in a hallway. An arrangement of watercolour and ink drawings and paintings of the life in a coral reef. Swimming up high, above the reef are a manta ray, a great white shark, a bottlenose dolphin, a leatherback sea turtle. Lower down at the top of the reef are grouper, wrasse, angel fish, puffer fish, clown fish, etc. At the bottom are corals, anemone, seaweed, urchins, a giant clam, a moray eel, peacock mantis shrimp, blue crab, starfish, sea snails, nudibranch, and more. Hanging in front from the ceiling is a mobile containing more small reef fish. The Blue Dragon Sea Slug/Nudibranch is visible on the edge of the red coral towards the bottom right.

May 31 and the bonus creature for #Mayquatic2025 is #BlueDragonSeaSlug
