lovely, specially for drawing of a bioluminescent squid...in such depth, we see them in white but orange is good too....light is very little but we have light yet....a very dark blue is better than black....I study Sperm whales and their food for 3 month for writing of my article...therefore, please pay attention to my advice.

This is not meant to reflect an actual living species, it is merely a speculative rendition; the result of genetic engineering or perhaps convergent evolution on an alien world. And since the depth is not specified, this could be very shallow water at night...

For me it is a squid wich evolved to us red light so he can see his preys without being seen^^

There are quite a few bioluminescent squid, although most glow white or red.

Yeah, I studied some images of living squid for the general body plan, but the colors are imaginative. Maybe the result of genetic engineering?

Excellent, really looks like a ghost . I guess that similar squids could live in the bottom of the ocean.
