Peacock Mantis Shrimp

Description

My botanical Illustration program has a thing going on where the Program head made a book, and it's being passed around through all the teachers and students. Everyone gets to draw something on one of the pages, and the whole thing will be reproduced to sell and the original will be auctioned off to raise money for the program.

This is my page, and while it's not botanical,it is at least scientific. The people on the four pages in front of me had all done graphite or brown things, so I decided to give the book some color, and it's hard to get much more colorful than a peacock mantis shrimp.

I got the book as kind of a surprise schedule change, and had one night to work on it. At my boyfriend's parents house. During passover.
Fortunately, his mother thinks I'm some kind of god because I can draw, and spent the night watching me in awe.

Since it was in book format, I couldn't scan it, so you'll have to live with the crappy picture.
There is, however, the properly-scanned marker version:
