Species #845: Work in progress 2

Here is another print of Species #845 that I am working on.  This isn't the same as the other one (as you can guess).  There are four of these that are currently "in progress."

I discovered a cool way to make what I call negative brushstrokes.  I know someone else has discovered this before me, but it was an accident when I saw it, SO I was quite excited.

It's funny how creepy this image is in black and white, but once I add color it seems to be kind of happy!
