Hello, welcome to my pinned post ^_^

This is my art blog, it may be other things as well in the future. I like cartoons and videogames and bugs and fish.

I tag my art as #Shapes Art.

In the deep sea, we know all about romance. ⁠❤️⁠

Tomopterids are pelagic polychaetes (segmented worms) with paddle-like parapodia that propel them through the water column. They are relatively common in the midnight zone and can live down to about 2,500 meters (8,200 feet). Many Tomopterids are only a centimeter or two long, but some can also get to be quite large—up to 30 centimeters (12 inches!). They are voracious predators, using their speed and agility to capture and consume a variety of midwater organisms. ⁠ ⁠ Females of this group produce a pheromone that attracts males and signals them to shed sperm into the water. This, in turn, signals the female to release her eggs—a behavior called swarming.

Original 3D animation from a 1994 Hong Kong commercial for the Game Boy, promoting Super Mario Land 2.

While it features various characters like the Buzzy Beetle-like Noko Bombette enemy and the Bomubomu pig enemy from that game, some characters are included here who do not appear in that game at all like Luigi and Toads.

Note also that the yellow flying enemies are, extremely bizarrely, multiple copies of the Sewer Rat boss of Macro Zone. In-game, the Sewer Rat is a unique character, and being a rat, cannot actually fly. It does climb up walls and drop down, which the artists for the commercial may have interpreted as the ability to fly freely.
