Hi everyone,
I started an ambitious project, just for fun. But i am kind of stuck i'n some ways and looking for some good advice.
I'm making a poster/chart with all of the cephalopods i could find that live below a depth of 200 meters in the ocean. My goal is to paint them as photo realistic as I can, as thought they where photographed in white light to light the scene. But i find it really hard to find much information, let alone visual material, of the animals.
Can anyone recommend me a good reliable source of information?
One of my questions for example would be;
We've always found carcasses of the Giant Squid (Architeuthis Dux) with an obvious red color. But in the first ever footage of the giant it appeared to have a metallic look of silver and golden hues.
How is this possible? And could it apply to other species which haven't been filmen in the wild as well?
I'd appreciaty any help, thanks
and i'll upload one of the finished squid drawings when i can
