Magnetic Sea Monkeys!

Final painting done in acrylic at 14"x11"

Colour and body shape test done in photoshop before moving on to final.


Ignore the type on the painting, I was trying something out that didn't work haha. This is an older picture that I did last year around november I believe (2012). It was my favourite project, where we had to illustrate a Bermuda triangle theory. I came up with my own: Magnetic Sea Monkeys! Their spines are made of magnets and to keep them charged they have to eat metal. They are about a foot long when they reach adulthood, and swim in packs that can sometimes consist of hundreds of sea monkeys. They subconsciously use their spines to create a magnetic field that traps large metal vessels and lure them out to sea. Compasses get confused when near the sea monkeys, and the plane or boat will wander until it either runs out of fuel or crashes. The sea monkeys eat the metal and leave the passengers for other sea creatures.
