Sea slug (Phyllodesmium macphersonae).

[kookyfabarts]

For this week’s assignment I decided to use an online program called PhotoMash to create three seperate types of glitch effects featuring my own original sea slug characters: Limepeel Mossgrove, Plum Anguil Tuscan,and last but not least,Magni Morus!

Up first,we have Limpeel Mossgrove with the static and wobbly glitch effects, complete with with the character rolling upwards as if they were part of a film.I personally felt like this suited Lime best,as they have a very ghoulish figure,and the distortion as to their strange,but cute appearance:

Next, we have Plum Anguil Tuscan,based off of the Bornella Anguila Sea Slug alongside being inspired vaguely inspired by Vivziepop’s character Blitzø from Helluva Boss(in terms of facial structure).For this image,I specifically chose to go for a more jittery effect so as to make the character look and feel energetic,especially with all of the warm colors I gave him.

And last but not least, we have Magni Morus! Based off of the Eubranchus and Phyllodesmium sea slugs! A hybrid of sorts. For this one,I chose to go for a more softly pixilated and toned down wobble effects to add a more zany but lighthearted and spooky aura to the character!

Those are all the glitches I have for now! And just as a quick note,Limpeel is a green Phyllodesmium sea slug,just a factoid.

Listen to me, boy. You will hear about sea slugs. You will enjoy sea slugs

Costasiella kuroshimae / leaf sheep. Discovered off the coast of Japanese island Kuroshima in 1993, they can indirectly perform photosynthesis by absorbing chloroplasts from algae

Cyerce nigricans. The cerata can be easily cast when disturbed. They can also swim by powerfully flapping said cerata when strongly stimulated. I think they look like butterfly wings!

Jorunna parva / sea bunny. They are covered in papillae, which are fleshy protuberances used for sensory functions. It looks like fur!

Glaucus atlanticus / blue glaucus. They are rarely seen, except during periods of on-shore winds which brings them and their prey into coastal waters. They are the most dangerous sea slug to handle, able to give humans a very painful and potentially dangerous sting

Chromodoris lochi / loch's chromodoris. They are spongivores, and prefer being on the underside of overhangs on rocky reefs. Their distribution is widespread in the Indo-Pacific. Everyone I show sea slugs to seems to love this little guy

Dirona albolineata / white-lined dirona. A translucent predator that often eats bryozoans and small snails. They generally reside on rocks and sometimes mud in the intertidal. Pretty little things, they remind me of shards of glass

Phidiana hiltoni / Hilton's Aeolid. They are known for being quite aggressive, often biting and fighting other aeolids, which is so real of them. They always reminded me of lit matches

Acanthodoris lutea / orange-peel doris. Its bright aposamatic colouration is a warning to predators of its distasteful toxicity. They also notably smell of sandalwood! You don't understand. I NEED to hold one

Nembrotha kubaryana / dusky nembrotha. They use the toxins in their prey ascidians to defend themselves against predators. The toxins are stored in their tissues then released in a slimy defensive mucus when alarmed. Nembrotha kubaryana are well-known for their neon appearance

Phyllodesmium poindimiei / Spun Of Light. It's primarily nocturnal and can cast its cerata for protection. Anyway, can we all agree that Spun Of Light is the most awesome name for a sea slug ever? I mean, look at it. That's a sea slug spun of light if I've ever seen one

Conclusion: sea slugs are the creatures ever

Phyllodesmium opalescens

[seaslug-haven]

woag, more sea slug lovers!!! <3

could you show the world phyllodesmium poindimiei, it's really beautiful

according to wikipedia it's also called spun of light which is such a pretty name, but sadly that claim is unsourced and I can't find the name anywhere else (except for copies from wikipedia) 😔

Latin name: Phyllodesmium poindimiei

Common name: Spun Of Light

Family: Myrrhinidae

We couldn't find another name :(

I think 'Pink octoslug' could sound cool :D

🌐 Spread sporadically along tropical coastal regions such as Australia, Hawaii, and the Indo-Pacific. Mostly coral reef marine habitats.

🍽 Very picky eaters. They feed on Telesto, Caridoa, and other Alcyonaceans. Their prefered food is Carijoa, a soft coral.

💫 Their ceratas are for defensive purposes, not just for capture and release of toxins.

💫 These slugs are nocturnal. Hiding under the corals during the day, coming out during the night to feedon said corals.

🦠 They are often used as a determinant for climate changed, due to them being reliant on the octocorals they feed on. Through these changes they evolve and thrive. It also activly helps us!

We apologize for such a long wait! It is the exam season before holidays, so we will update whenever we can. :')

We thank you for the ask! (If there are any mistakes, please, don't be afraid to DM! We might have read the information wrong or even misunderstood.)

Look at them!! That's what perfection looks like

[souperluminal]

You get:

A Phyllodesmium iriomotense!

lesbian sea slugs :3 phyllodesmium iriomotense + glaucus atlanticus

[seraphicveins]

some character wips as i work on commissions!! they're all based on slugs... in order its hinano (lettuce slug), misaki (Phyllodesmium poindimiei), Minnji (sea bunny)

[pillowspace]

I get so confused whenever I see an AI-generated sea slug of a species that doesn't even exist, like is the world not beautiful enough for you? Do you care not for Babakina anadoni...?

Nemesignis banyulensis?

Bornella anguilla?

Phyllodesmium poindimiei?

Sea angel??

[raintailed]

I redesigned Lightspun again but now I like their colors n stuff. Uhhh they're a weird void creature based on both shadowfish (from amphibia) and Phyllodesmium poindimei (a nudbranch). They can shapeshift, so the ref shows them being slugcat-shaped

2nd image is just the first without text bc ooo pretty
