(they sort of both work on ships, dad can't leave his kid anywhere else, so he helps out)

*dad walks with special straps and puffs, he is considered disabled because his "legs" are not so firm and strong. 

The little one is luckier, he has strong tentacles and has no problem running around like a madman...which he does 90 per cent of his time.

*This is imposed by humans that in order to fit into "normal" (i.e. human) society, they need to be more like humans. Including walking "normally".

survives only thanks to his conspiracy theories, which he sells to those who believe in the same nonsense (but in fact he is partly right...)

he once had a wife and a daughter, the marriage broke up after a month and he can't see his daughter because his wife's family thinks he's insane

Cuttlefish

- have no sex, they are neither male nor female biologically, their genitals are designed so that both partners can continue their species

- no nose (smell organ is behind the ears)

- no facial vegetation - no beards, no eyebrows.

- pupils are always wavy in shape.

- average height including tentacles - 163-175 centimetres

- always 6-7 fingers (most often 6)

front teeth are black and much stronger than the rest, they can safely on a permanent basis to chew on seashells or nutshells, without damaging the teeth

Cuttlefish are better immune to stress of all the mollusk-fish, but are absolutely choleric and sometimes aggressive, also like to fight.

Cuttlefish prefer to spawn caviar rather than give birth in the traditional way, as in the conditions of life fish-people under the oppression of humans is very difficult.
Octopuses

- have eyebrows but no beards.
- all octopuses have noses in the usual place.
- eyes change colour (mood or emotion).
- usually the pupils are shaped like stripes or stars.
- only five fingers, just like humans.
- front teeth are as black and strong as those of cuttlefish, but smaller in size.

(picture of a baby octopus, with the caption "eyes open from the first days of life")

Octopuses are very often stereotyped as the most intelligent, graceful and beautiful, in the manner of their unintelligent counterparts that did not evolve from the water and are quite intelligent among fish.
However, this is just a stereotype, octopus-people are exactly the same as all other evolved brethren.

Most of all fish resemble humans (from the tentacles are thin and easy to hide them in trousers, and they can change colours more than others, camouflage...and unlike other mollusks have a nose).

- they don't spawn caviar because they can't.
- In general, very rarely have families and children, for 5 octopus families only 3 will have children and all of them will have one child.
Squid

_ they have no facial hair
_ they have six fingers without webbing
_ they have no nipples
_ pupils are varied! but more often circular or drop-shaped.
_ one black upper and lower tooth in front (much thicker than cuttlefish or octopuses)
_ as sexless as cuttlefish.

2 of the tentacles are different

_ many times taller than cuttlefish and octopus, their height averaging between 183cm and 200+cm.

Squid are often stereotyped as stupid and mentally disabled because of their facial expression and height, but this is just as much a stereotype as saying that all octopuses are graceful and intelligent.

_ ONLY spawn caviar, because they can't give birth directly
Nautiluses

"Г"-shaped posture (perfectly normal and comfortable for them).

_ they have pearlescent ears.
_ they have absolutely no hair, both on their body and face!
_ in some places their ears are not only pearlescent, but it's just a matter of luck.
_ in general they have either five or seven fingers, it varies from person to person.
_ they all have the same colour and type of eyes.

No tentacles like squid, cuttlefish and octopus. Not quite sure what causes this, a random evolutionary feature. 

(Variant 2, a differently shaped head.)

_ all teeth (except the chewing teeth) are sharp.

they are the least human-like of all mollusk fishes (and they're very proud of it).

(picture of a baby nautilus outside the caviar and in the caviar)

_ do not spawn caviar...although they could! (moreover, it would reduce the terrible death rate from the first days of life)
Argonauts.

_ unusually shaped heads (this does NOT affect their intelligence)
_ completely different (but ALWAYS circular) pupils.

(hat picture: variant headdress on the shell motif of the non-evolved sea Argonauts)
_ 7-8 fingers (most often 7).

The smallest of the mollusks - their average height is only 143-154 cm.

Smallest group of fish-people, poor survival rate, heavy evolution has reduced their numbers VERY severely.

In the course of evolution lost sexual dimorphism, becoming sexless (like most fish when going on land, by the way), and also lost their shells for lack of use.

_ Can only spawn caviar and do so with a huge number of roe, but only one individual survives until the age of final development of the caviar, and in the conditions in which fish-people live, even this one individual is becoming increasingly rare.

I found it tricky to rework the picture, so I've included the translation in the annotations instead!

Here are some anatomically images of fishes fellas from my fish setting.

Гигантская австралийская каракатица (Sepia apama) — вид головоногих моллюсков из рода настоящих каракатиц семейства каракатиц (Sepiidae). Достигая 50 см в длине мантии и свыше 10,5 кг в живом весе, считается крупнейшей каракатицей в мире.Их называют «рок-звездами океана», потому что при жизненном цикле всего лишь в 12-18 месяцев, они живут быстро и умирают молодыми.

Гигантская каракатица – эндемический вид, обитающий исключительно в прибрежных водах на юге, юго-западе и юго-востоке Австралии (от побережья штата Квинсленд до залива Акул в Западной Австралии). Встречается на глубине не более 100 метров, но чаще всего — на мелководье.

Непонятно по какой причине, но природа наделила этих живых существ 3-мя сердцами. Одно отвечает за снабжение кровью нервной системы, а остальные два — за работу жабр.Эти каракатицы прославились способностью моментально менять свой окрас, который чаще всего зависит от настроения животного или окружающей среды. Также он сильно меняется у самцов в брачный период. В брачный период или во время нападения на добычу их окраска приобретают металлический блеск и покрывается яркими светящимися точками.

Эти гиганты ведут дневной образ жизни. Большую часть времени проводят, укрывшись среди зарослей водорослей, каменистых рифов или зарывшись на морском дне. Большую часть энергии они тратят не на активность, а на рост. Очень любопытны и любят поиграть, чем часто пользуются дайверы.

The giant Australian cuttlefish (Sepia apama) is a species of cephalopod from the genus of true cuttlefish of the cuttlefish family (Sepiidae). Reaching 50 cm in mantle length and over 10.5 kg in live weight, they are considered the largest cuttlefish in the world. They are called the “rock stars of the ocean” because, with a life cycle of only 12-18 months, they live fast and die young .

The giant cuttlefish is an endemic species found exclusively in coastal waters in the south, south-west and south-east of Australia (from the coast of Queensland to Shark Bay in Western Australia). It is found at a depth of no more than 100 meters, but most often in shallow water.

It is unclear for what reason, but nature endowed these living creatures with 3 hearts. One is responsible for supplying blood to the nervous system, and the other two are responsible for the functioning of the gills. These cuttlefish are famous for their ability to instantly change their color, which most often depends on the mood of the animal or the environment. It also changes greatly in males during the mating season. During the mating season or during an attack on prey, their color acquires a metallic sheen and is covered with bright luminous dots.

These giants are diurnal. They spend most of their time hidden among kelp beds, rocky reefs, or buried on the seabed. They spend most of their energy not on activity, but on growth. They are very curious and love to play, which divers often take advantage of.

Cuttlefish girl?

YES! I've loved cuttlefish since I did a research project on them in like 3rd grade and well, now they're a cute girly :3

Cuttlefish Girl?

It's been a while since I've done any character design sheets or anything, but this was a good way to get back into the groove of character art after working on my less figurative AP art. It's nice to work on something for my own enjoyment lol.

In which I achieve a lifelong dream, of sitting on the seafloor with a bunch of giant Australian cuttlefish

a dark reddish brown cuttlefish looks at the camera with greenish brown algae in the background
a male giant cuttlefish looks at the camera, covered in scars, with his papillae eyebrows up.
a brownish yellow cuttlefish making its arms squiggly and eyebrows squiggly, hanging out among the algae.
Two tough guys perform a dominance display at each other, the one closer to the camerea doing a purple/maroon with white lines pattern, and the one farther from us doing the black and white passing cloud pattern

This morning I checked a major bucket list item off the list: hanging out w/Giant Australian Cuttlefish. They're super focused on mating, and are shockingly chill about people hanging around. I'd heard this was true, but whew, it was wild to experience firsthand.

It's a rare thing for an animal to reliably be found at a certain place & certain time. So often "lifer" animals depend on luck to seen. With these cuttlefish, so far it's been like clockwork. Late May-August, go to Whyalla in winter, and there they are, resplendent and numerous.

Good news:they're reliable + stunning. Bad news: Whyalla is a friggen hike from Philly & the water is a bit chilly (58 degrees F today). If you want to swim with them, you better get a thick wetsuit on and maybe be a bit cold (I was honestly too excited to be cold).

Seeing mating behavior up close was so completely amazing. The males perform dominance displays where they roll black bars across their body directly at another male. It's mind-blowing to see in person. They generally do it with the half of their body facing the other male.

So on Nicholas Kole's livestream he was drawing a pumpkin whale because he's amazing and some folks were like 'hey let's also draw aquatic animals that are vegetables' so I drew a cuttlefish/artichoke. Cuttlechoke. Now it's bed time.
