WARNING: LIVE CONTENTS / RAW MEAT

How to make:

Step 1: aquire clubsquid, grussel eggs, and an abyssal clam. Exercise caution while wrestling the clubsquid, you'll find it in the black shallows. Grussel eggs can be found in the cracks of reefs, and the abyssal clam requires a deep dive. Everything will need to be live and kept in ice once caught

Step 2: starting with the squid, wash off the animal while avoiding being grabbed by it's spiked tentacles, then very quickly chop off the head. Chop off the tentacles and their suckers, and rewash them. Set the rest of the squid back on the ice

Step 3: wearing gloves, run the grussel eggs under hot water until the really slimy, thick fat layer melts away. They'll darken once the flesh is exposed to the air, and the umbilical feelers will reach out. Do not use a food brush and do not pluck the feelers

Step 4: when handling the abyssal clam, watch your fingers. This animal has teeth and a very strong jaw. Also using gloves, wash it off in hot water and stick a knife between its lips to begin cracking it open. Work the knife all the way around and then over again, until you hear an air release

Step 5: dry off the clam and set it on a dry surface, then pry open the jaw. You'll see it's tongue and an eyeball will emerge from inside. Further back will be it's heart and other organs, you won't need these. Quickly cut out the organs and set them aside on the ice

Step 6: put out a long plate and place the tentacles, the grussel eggs, and the clam, and garnish the dish with a kelp plume. If anything is slimy, wash it off before placing unless you prefer that consistency. As for the organs, they too are edible, but not recommended for eating since they'll be full of blood and other overpowering substances

Make sure to set this dish on ice if your guests haven't arrived yet. Considering everything is raw, anything warm is a breeding ground for bacteria and food poisoning can occur if not handled properly!

Design concept for my Deep Singer species

I draw super light :\

Fairy light

Frenchie 🍔

Had to censor, can't risk getting banned

Another species, but on the creator level.

They're called Kali'und'ava, but Prehensipod works too

Bristlehorn - carnivore - silent predator

Subnautica creature concept w/ anatomy points. The bristlehorn is a furry crustacean that lives primarily in the grassy plateaus, stalking it's prey from the caves nearby or scouting the open ocean aside reefbacks. It lives in cooperation with the sandshark and dines on the smaller fish available. It's favorite are spadefish. Since the bristlehorn is a predator, it will most certainly attack the player if they get too close.

He has wonderful sideburns

Slate 1

1. The spinal ridge merges into the first pair of shoulder blades on both ends

2. Holes in the ridges enable water circulation for better aerodynamicy

3. Fins for added aerodynamicy, directing water up the ridges for circulation to take place

4. A segmented body of stoney gray, red and white surface-warted bone

5. Lots of eyes for reflecting any and all light waves, adjusted specifically for cathemeral hunting. The larger pair are useful for nighttime and the smaller pair for daytime

6. A bony protrusion from the head used as both a weapon against attackers or a shovel for digging in the sand. It's unclear if the hole inside provides the same use as the ones in the ridges, or if it's the remainder of a long gone sinus cavity

7. Armored legs for rudimentary locomotion, a little like the treaders, and digging into the cracks of rocks. See about their razored tips in (13.)

8. A hollow tailbone used to spear or slice into things

9. The second pair of rudimentary legs, these are better used for poking around and spearing prey in tight spots

10. A peculiar sinus cavity consisting of both nostrils and gills. See more about the gills in (12.) Nostrils breathe out carbon dioxide while gills breathe in oxygen

11. A very toothy mouth with a split jaw that extends past the skull, best compared to that of a goblin shark

12. Gills, very thick gills that cover the entire lower chest and abdomen between course muscle strands. Constant movement through the water keeps this creature fit and well oxygenated

13. Razored tips used to spear prey and attackers

14. Light, feathery bristles used to detect changes in the current, movement and environment. Each hair is equipped with three micro follicles that can detect temperature

Slate 2

1. Stretchy ligament skin for expanding the jaw past its usual point to consume prey

2. Venomous fangs to paralyze bitten victims

3. A lure tongue in the shape of a much smaller fish, used primarily at night because it glows and attracts prey

4. These pair of teeth aren't venomous, but hold prey in place while the bristlehorn eats

5. Two uvulas. Don't really know why I added this. The bristlehorn tends to eat it's prey whole so it has a more controlled gag reflex in case it chokes

6. Where the jaw dislocates to move past the skull
