A very attractive deep sea fish

Another page from my little sketchbook, this one of a specimen from the Natural History Museum's collection. I consider it to be one of God's greatest mercies to us that half of the most repulsive life-forms on this planet (spiders, bugs and other creepy crawlies) are too small for us to see them in any detail and the other half live so far below the ocean that most of us never have to look at them.
