This morning during lab, inpiration hit me like a faceful of that special odor that only a preserved hagfish can have. So the rest of the day was consumed with dorkful glee as I drew up
a tentative VUX skeleton. Obsessive a little? But I knew I wouldn't remember it if I waited.
There's no real articulation, of course. ;) I'm also toying with the idea of a swimming tail, since with the legs I gave my interpretation they'd be pretty laughable in the water without one. It looks sort of like half of an octopus web. I don't know, seemed appropriate. (And it makes them look like peacocks, kind of...:D )
Thoughts? Tail? Anti-tail?
