Labelling this would have crowded the image, but getting it right and making the pupils highly visible paves the way for further discussion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573214298a65e244fd57eb1c/1549923464849-KPRL25XX3Y0NCVZGO1HL/rattler+vs+gopher.jpg blog - Gopher Snake and Western Rattlesnake As the image is a commission/collaboration with Things That Creep, I presented this initial sketch for review. The concept was accepted, but as I read more about the two species, I was intrigued by the harmless gopher snake’s ruse of coiling and vibrating its tail in dry grass to imitate the venomous rattlesnake. This technique of imitating a dangerous species is called Batesian mimicry Even though I felt the original composition was stronger and I didn’t have room in the image to discuss mimicry, this design opened the door for further discussion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/573214298a65e244fd57eb1c/1549923507363-AUY8H2EQJ95SUU1UWXZO/rattler+vs+gopher_2.jpg blog -
