#inktober day... oh wait, we're in November.
It became pretty clear that I wasn't going to finish my Inktober this year, so I decided to at least finish the story I started with sketches.

So the story continues after the deer stole the mustache!

day 6 - #pierce
day 7 - #starfish
day 8 - #reckless
day 9 - #heavy
day 10 - #sweep
day 11 - #sting
day 12 - #shredded
day 13 - #drink
day 14 - #trunk

To be continued tomorrow...

This Giant Spotted Hermit Crab was inhabiting a Conch shell while dining on a starfish on the ocean floor.

Exciting that #Oregon #starfish populations have rebounded, and the wasting disease didn't drive them all to extinction.

Oregon sea stars bounce back from near extinction after years of decline

A similar recovery has not been observed among sunflower sea stars which are linked to the vanishing of Oregon's underwater kelp forests.

#INKTOBER Día 7 #starfish

Ese día estaba en Barcelona, en una mezcla entre emocionada y feliz por estar recibiendo talleres de Zoe Jakes, y por otra echa una mierda por una noticia que acababa de recibir sobre mi padre y un tema de mierda con la mujer que le cuidó durante un año y que ahora nos quiere joder...en fin. Así que de la no motivación, salió este #Patricio

💎🔄 Physicists at Heinrich-Heine University #Düsseldorf and Wayne State University studied "rotating #crystals" made of spinning particles that exhibit "odd elasticity," causing them to twist instead of stretch when pulled.

These materials can spontaneously fragment into smaller spinning units and later reassemble themselves, behaviors also observed in biological systems like groups of #starfish embryos that rotate around one another through coordinated swimming motions.

Physicists discover strange spinning crystals that behave like living matter

Physicists have uncovered the fascinating world of “rotating crystals” — solids made of spinning particles that behave in strange, almost living ways. These odd materials can twist instead of stretch, shatter into fragments, and even reassemble themselves.
