Description Horseshoe crab, it's actually not a crab at all, it is related to arachnids (spiders, scorpions and such).
Horseshoe crabs are very old genus, and now are endangered by extinction.

I was experimenting with shading on this one so it may look a little weird.
And thanks for those who faved (if anyone did).

Do not feed my works to your “AI” please – my works don’t have to be world-class masterpieces to contain something of interest, so I want to make my stance on the subject clear.

But I do appreciate every fav, every view and every comment.

Sweetie, if you like, I'll give you the lineart to play with it, but I'm more than sure that you can do it without a problem.

Great job on the Horseshoe crab. I like them, because they reminds of the old woods during the Carbon and of course of dinosaurs. It is fascinating how long a species can live on Earth without modifying much of their shapes ...coelacanths as an example.

Yes. I'm glad that you like it. And Horseshoe crabs are also very usefull for us, as they blood is perfect tester for IV's and other medical equipment that must be absolutely sterile. We - as humans - should do everything in our power to preserve them, we owe them big time after all.

Same with bees, bees are very important (they say that if bees will extinc the humanity will follow them in 5 years).

Now I will post another fan art and then it will be trylobite (amazing creatures those trylobites were).

BTW, nice new avatar.

Thanks. I finally moved with my other stuff (beside the SGA), with little luck there will be more varied stuff in my gallery (that includes SGA fan art that is not comic).
