Ostrocodding it!

I decided to do a vector drawing based on the deap sea creature Ostrocod. I found this type of fhish quite amusing as it hasn't developed much more of a natural instinct than to carry its young within its body and bob about the ocean. I doesnt swim as it lacks in the features needed to swim efficiently like a fish. Its quite a naturally translucent fish so using the translucency tool on Illustrator was only more than appropriate.

I used the blob tool in order to create some layering underneath the blocked colour body and to give it some dimensions.I find the final image to be of some amusement as they arent able to really control where they go.
