They are so very adorable! I want to grow a patch of moss just to make sure I have dozens of them living near me
Amazing representation!

They are SOOO ADORABLE, this is true!!
They have also the most cute name in finnish; "karhukainen". "Karhu" means "bear" so it is basically "bearypoo" or something like that, it just sounds like a pet-name...
So intense that you did this with watercolours only! Lovelyyyy.

This is gorgeous. One of the best pieces of tardigrade art I've seen yet.

Oh man, I remember seeing one of those in a nature book I had as a kid (and am pretty sure I still have *glances at bookshelf*), and...well, I think I was a bit disappointed when I actually read the part about them being microorganisms, because I was kinda imagining one that's actually big enough to see walking or swimming around XD

They look really cute in real life and they're practically indestructible.

I had found one of these dudes in a water sample for my Biology class a few weeks ago. Named him Howard.
I'm upset that every girl in America is scared shitless of things that live in water. Especially the cute stuff.

Aquatic creatures are some of the coolest of all!

What a masterful use of watercolor!
And I actually know what water bears are! X3 Don't they change size by 70% when in the presence of water?
You are also right X3 They are cuute!

They are cute, and they can be frozen and exposed to radiation, drought, and extreme heat, cold, and G-forces without dying.

I read that they could survive in space

Thank you, animal planet.
I was watching a show there-Most extreme endurance animal, I believe, and they were number one.

Did you know that water bears can survive being in the vacuum of space- AND survive radiation (for at least a little while)?
You made this water bear super cute. <333333 Great job!

TARDIGRADES! Ah-man...I love these guys XD;...Made my day seeing that other people like these guys too...
Really cool watercolour too! I really like how this is coloured :3

Woah, those things are... really cool. It's so surreal that we have creatures that look so complex that are so very tiny. Or maybe not, but I guess I've never really thought too much about it before..
The image itself is very nice, I love the ability you have to work in so many mediums, and that you do it so well. The texture on the little guy is great, and the brown and blue colors work so well together.

Hell yes! Go, invert zoo! Man, I wish I could let you look at some of my biology books. You know that these critters are also REALLY tough?

I did read a little about them as I was searching for picture, like that they go into a hibernation when their environment dries. They are such cool little things
Hehe, I totally would read biology textbooks for fun

Oooh, try velvet worms, too. They're neat. Man, I can't remember the relevant facts that had them linked together in our invertebrate book. They both had a very unique feature to them, but I can't remember what.
