Decapocember Day 11: Members of the infraorder Polychelida live in depths between 100 and 5000 meters. Since the sun doesn't reach where they live, they are all blind. Polychelids are named after the fact that they either have chelae (claws) on four or all five pairs of legs.

Benthic Zone art, small little 2-color poster I'm working on with color breakdowns shown here. I'll print on blue paper stock using light blue ink, then overlay a metallic silver ink in several areas.
This design is not finished, and I might try adding some typography to experiment with is as a drink packaging label (beer/wine/whatever). But I'm getting close enough with what I'm experimenting with that I might need to rework some other details that were completed - to make it more print-worthy. For example: now that I look at this, I don't think I'll be able to make the background lines in the upper area register properly, so the blue ink films will have to have that removed.

A Hybodus that I illustrated for an upcoming issue of the Steinkern Magazine under guidance of Sebastian Stumpf. Most reconstructions get the horns wrong.
(image ID: A watercolour painting of a slender shark with serrated spines on its dorsal fins and four horns on its head.)

While the Andor finale's still reverberating, this feels like a good time to mention that there are some stories where the OT heroes rub up against the murkier side of the Rebellion. Twilight Company is one great example, courtesy of an unnamed Han cameo (and it's so much better than the novel of a game with no story mode has any right to be), but I particularly want to spotlight the bookends of Kieron Gillen's comics, Ashes of Jedha and The Scourging of Shu-Torun, which throw Luke and gang together with what's left of Saw's Partisans. There's something really interesting in seeing the golden boy having to reckon with people like Benthic.

Just some underloved and overlooked deep sea creatures 💙
🌊 First up is this deranged muppet - The Deep Sea Telescopefish
🌊 Hatchetfish - they’re actually really fun at parties
🌊 The Sarcastic Fringehead - cool outfit, horrible personality
🌊Siphonophores - asexual, mostly keep to themselves
🌊 Barreleye fish - lights on but no one’s home
🌊 Vampire Squid - I’m weak for those blue eyes
🌊 The Frilled Shark - excellent hugger
🌊 Giant Isopod - always plotting
🌊 The Umbrella Gulper Eel - bet he’d beat Joey Chestnut in a hot dog eating challenge any day
🌊 The Goblin Shark - sensitive about the size of his nose
🌊 Deep Sea Anglerfish - this is a female, the males are tiny little guys that latch onto the females by biting them, they then meld with the female and basically become a spare set of gonads so the female can reproduce as she pleases. Love that for her
🌊 The ultra black Pacific blackdragon- soul eater
🌊 We’ll end it with the Sea Angel who was captured on film living under the ice of the White Sea in Russia

Chicago Beer Pass: Turkey Turkey
Welcome to the Chicago Beer Pass: Your ticket to all the great beer events happening in and around Chicago.
On this episode of Chicago Beer Pass, Brad Chmielewski and Nik White are pretending that winter isn't right around the corner by drinking Little Wings, a pilsner from Horse Thief Hollow. Horse Thief Hollow is always one of those breweries the guys try to make it out to, but time got away from them this year. But it's great that you can pick it up in cans. As the guys knock back a couple of cans, Brad shares his recent adventures with his family in town, where he hit up Metropolitan, Burning Bush, Adam's Street, Eris, and Off Color. Nik was able to hit up Half Acre for the latest Benthic release.
With Goose Island's Black Friday this week, it really means stout season is here. If you don't pick up any bottles, try to make it out to one of the brewpubs or bars to try some of these big stouts.
