I posted the file a few months ago, so for those who want to read the totem write up for this particular creature, it can be found here:

Crown-of-Thorns Seastar as Totem

Despite this not being one of my favourites to look at, I think it's one of my favourites in terms of the meaning it conveys. Not necessarily 'pretty,' but then, it's not meant to be.


Crown-of-Thorns Seastar - Being Overwhelmed

Aww... it's so dark and overwhelming. But I can't stop staring at it. Nice

It axctually is kind of pretty. But you get the strong sense of it overwhelming the pretty... other thing... bacterium? with its black sludge of doom.

A coral polyp maybe? It will be devoured, and the crown of thorns will move on to its next meal...

(I'm in a weird mood. Don't mind me.)

:) I think I was getting to the weird side myself with the sludge of doom.

The thought that came into my mind when I saw this art was "stay away from me" its quite intense and beautifully done.

it does have a very 'stay away from me' kind of energy, I think - much like the 10 of swords - it won't be a 'beloved' energy in the deck. Heh.

Oh my gosh... It's just so gorgeous. The black and white did a great job of conveying meaning. The color does just as well.

Yes, the seastar is kind of intimidating... but it makes me feel all squishy because it makes me think of Things That Should Not Be Named... maybe a shoggoth?

Tehe. Yeah they are weird looking things. Especially when they are all crawling around a coral reef.

wow...your art always amazes me

Thank you. I'm... not sure how I feel about this one, but I think that some parts worked really well. :)

Wow, you just keep outdoing yourself! I love the colors on this one -- the reddish brown background is awesome. And of course you knew I'd like the pink! ;-)

Wow--that coloring really *works*. Especially the background; it's like flesh taken to an unhealthy color.

crown of thorns have lots of different colours but all of them look a bit gross or sickly. Even in their native habitat I don't imagine that they'd 'prettify' up whatever area they're in.
