Information about the Black Seadevil:

The Black Seadevil or Anglerfish is one of only five members of the genus Melanocetus. Only two of these have common names. Black seadevils are characterised by a gelatinous, globose body, a large head, and large, sharp, glassy, fang-like teeth lining the jaws of a cavernous, oblique mouth. Like other anglerfishes, black seadevils possess an illicium and esca; the former being a modified dorsal spine—the “fishing rod”—and the latter being the bulbous, bioluminescent “fishing lure”. The esca is simple in black seadevils (with either a conical terminus or anterior and posterior ridges in some species), and both it and the illicium are free of denticles.

The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

Artist’s notes:

The Black Seadevil was completed on 12.24.2014. After viewing a wonderful video of this amazing fish that was captured recently. This was a very challenging drawing to complete, as only grainy video with poor lighting and a few reference photos exist. So I watched the video a few times, made some sketches and came up with the pose. I made the fish a little more horizontal than vertical to fit in better with the image library..
