[WIP] Sea Peppermint Candies

I suddenly thought of animals with pemmermint in their names. Their name could be ‘Red Striped’, but why is it ‘Peppermint’? And then I realized they came from Peppermint Candy. The reason why it took me a while to realize this is because in Korea, most peppermint candies are just white.😂 (When I see the word peppermint candy, I think of a candy shaped like this.. : It is a common candy that can be taken for free after a meal at restaurants in Korea, but these days, it has been largely replaced by individually wrapped polo candy for hygiene reasons._
Anyway! People who discovered these animals probably thought of peppermint candies. That's probably why they got that name. Thinking about that made me smile. And that became the idea for this drawing~
The first sketch had a starfish. It was a necklace starfish. This starfish has a beautiful combination of red and white. but It was changed to candy crab 😅
Red and white are a simple but quite striking combination. I wanted to avoid making the picture too complicated, so I modified the pattern to be a bit simpler.
In the case of animals, they actually have more complex and finer patterns, but I drew this to look more like peppermint candy.
Theyare all actually small animals. The largest is the Candycane sea cucumber, which is about 12 inches (30-39 cm) long. Candy crabs are smaller than 1 inch. (1.5~2cm)
In the first sketch, I wanted them to be small and indistinguishable like peppermint candies, so I set them to similar sizes, but I thought the animals should be more visible than the peppermint candies, so I reduced the size of the candies.
I've painted a peppermint angelfish once before.
Pistol shrimp are famous for their symbiotic relationship with goby fish. I want to draw many pairs later.
Candy crabs camouflage coral by attaching polyps. Now they are disguised as peppermint candies.
Thank you!

Haha, I personally like drawing desserts and animals, but since it's become a trend these days, I draw it less than before. It's been a while since I drew food and animals, and I'm glad you liked it.
