This is a quick 3D concept of an abyssal creature I designed as an example piece for the Creatures of the Deep art contest I'm running (Checkout Pablander.academy if you want to participate). The goal was to explore something strange but elegant… a passive, observant lifeform drifting through the deepest parts of the ocean. Sculpted and detailed in ZBrush with render passes from Maverick Render, and a quick paintover to push the final illustration.
