The feathery blue guy is lovely. :D

Definitely pretty.

i'm eating u up
stealin ur stingerz

The blue stinger swiping crew, very true.

- Glaucus atlanticus
- Chromodoris annae
- Hexabranchus sanguineus
- Chromodoris michaeli
- Chromodoris kuniei
- Pteraeolidia ianthina
- Dirona albolineata
- Flabellina rubrolineata?
- Chelidonura varians (I think that's Yes)
- Nembrotha Kubaryana

There we go. Was fun tracking all the species down... But I'm afraid I got at least 2 wrong.

A few, we'll see if anyone comes closer, if not you shall win.

Nothing better then a healthy competition. ^_^
Looking forward to see the end result though, whoever wins.

You got the most right, so you win. :0 You forgot Chromodoris coi, the ruffly one with yellow/brown/white at top, and Yes is a Philinopsis gardeneri, but they look almost like chelidonura. The one Yes is riding is a generic dorid.

i'm a philinopsis gardereri

Reply is all the way below. I messed up when posting. x__x;

Ok ok ok, uhm, I see a Chromodoris quadricolor or Chromodoris annae, I think it's the latter, unless it's a Chromodoris elisabethina, they all look so similar, it doesn't look quite orange enough to be a Chromodoris magnifica but maybe you took some liberties... damn, there are a lot of sea slugs that look like that! x.x .....uhm....

a Chromodoris kuniei, a Chromodoris tinctoria, that white one could be a Doris odhneri but I don't think so? it's a bit too, uhm, 'fluffy'

...the one Yes is riding on could be a Spanish Dancer, and of course Yes is a blue lined headshield seaslug, and of course the big one is, as you say, a blue dragon, which I believe is Glaucus atlanticus?

And then... geez, the brown one and the green one are really stumping me x.x I'm pretty sure the green one is supposed to be a Nembrotha kubaryana, but your illo isn't as brilliant as the photo I've got, so I'm not sure o.o

I'm gonna have to admit defeat on the brownish one, all I can say is that it looks like it's probably some kind of Chromodoris, but I'm not sure what specific species x.x

DURP DURP I forgot to even comment on the picture x.x

I like the blue dragon the best, how shinyyyyyy. And the one in the top right, the Chromodoris annae or elisabethina I think it is, I like how zie seems to be gathering something and sitting on something, just the little simple bit of background there adds a lot. :3

also, I'm not sure which was the one you drew for Vera, but I think its' the kubaryana cause zie looks like Vera as a nudibranch :D

I'm pretty sure it's the nembrotha (green/black/orange) - the pigtails appear to have eyeballs in them :D

Yes, I noticed that too :D

Cheesestick is the chromodoris annae. Sometimes he looks like chromodoris michaeli, but the whole quadricolor group is very similar. Kuniei is right, the white petal-ish one is dirona albolineata, the other dorid is a chromodoris coi. The long blue dragon one is Pteraeolidia ianthina. The smaller blue one to the left is my signature species/character, Glaucer, a glaucus atlanticus. :D The one for Vera is correct, and Yes is riding some generic chromodoris, perhaps the one you listed. Kiziko, the sloppy red one flying above, is the spanish dancer. :]

You tried hard, so I'll give you a sketch, just note me. :3

Awwh, yay! Thank you so much!

I wouldn't know where to begin for the species. But it looks amazing.

Beautiful Fantastic I can feel the love you put in to this!

OH ffff these are all so incredibly beautiful, the glaucus is so gorgeous with the long body and ornate head...thingies <3 I'm guessing the nembrotha is the one you drew for me and if so wow she is SO CUTE! Are those eyebals in her hair? :D

I keep saying that the more bland-looking nembrotha without the orange details is my favorite, but you really make me love the neon orange additions... how could anyone not love orange <3 I don't know if this is encouraging or SO good that I don't even want to attempt to draw another sea slug, but since I already have Sai open and am doodling her I'm guessing it's the former XD This is awesome, thanks so much for the inspiration!! :)

Oh also the little Yes is so so very yes XD <3 adorableee

Yah, it was nembrotha kubaryana, similar and very closely related to your fave sluggie, but with more neon green and striking orange additions. :3 It reminds me of a clown, which I thought you may like. :D And she (shi?) does have eyeball berets. More slugs! they look really good when you draw them. Yes has a great design, its hard not to draw em.

colorful!

I have no idea, but there is a spanish dancer.

There is actually a green slug with the algae energy trick too. http://www.seaslugforum.net/display.cfm?id=1969
but this picture is better; http://videnskab.dk/content/dk/milj.....gener_fra_alge

Yeah, a few sluggies can do it, but outside of that, very few if other species any can. :0

*few if any others* Xd

<33 Love it! i wish i could say more.. but anything else wouldnt do justice for your work.

seriously digging the blue dragon, his rinophores give him quite the regal look
and that portrait of cheesestick is very nice, even if it does creep me out a little
booglebrotha made me smile and theres always room for yes <3
btw, im loveing how youve been drawwing faces as of late, especially noses and lips
im seeing even more definition than i normaly do, wich is saying something

You mean the kuinei nudi right? Blue dragon is addictive, he/it is getting more sketches than Glaucer from me, Glaucer is jealous xD. I have an animeish style and a more realistic one, sometimes I blend them up. :0

Is that the slug with the o______________o marking on the front that I spy?

I don't know O___________________O.

needs something to keep the fangs seperate

Who's the purple hooded one with elven ears? She looks awesome. As usual, great work.

He/She/It is some random slugmodite, chromodoris kuinei. They do have a pretty colorscheme.

Simply wonderful. I don't think anyone else makes sea life look so sexy!
I'm intrigued by the green and orange one... are these all nudibranchs or did you slip some other species in on us?

all displayed here are in fact nidis save for myself
headsheild seaslugs lack external gills im afraid :<

What he said. All are nudibranchs save for Yes, who is a cephalaspid.

I'm sorry for the mistake. They had almost the same colors... kinda...
And I can't find a lot of information about the 'Philinopsis gardeneri' on the internet. o_o

Seriously, where is your species hiding?!

http://www.seaslugforum.net/display.cfm?id=18703
here
shhh dont tell nobody

If you aren't famous throughout the fandom for what you do with nudibranches, then the internet doesn't know what's good for it.
I love the kleptoplastic slugs, although my favorites are sacoglossans and not nudis; the idea of animals with plant traits has always delighted me :3

I wish I could do what you do with colors, but then i'm also glad you do such wonderfully unique work.

What's Cheesstick up to?

I think he is harvesting some coral polyps. xD

Fishes are often either very simple, or super complex (as shown here), and even further complex when coloring. You are certainly worth of internets -sagenod-

These are not fish, they are seaslugs! But thankyou. :3

Sea slugs ftw! -runs in circles-

I am seriously digging on all these aquatic morphs you draw. I didn't realize how much I liked sea-life until I saw some of your stuff. Keep it up
