Description
Anomalocaris, that wonderful shrimpy grasper bemouthed Cambrian animal.
I remember recording a computer animated television show about these and other Cambrian animals as a child, but I no longer have the tape and the only version I could find online is in Chinese. This drawing was created using concept art for that program's anomalocaris as a reference, though I used similar but darker and more red toned colors. Here's the only version of the animated clip I've been able to find: [link]

The word that comes to mind when one sees an Anomalocaris swimming at them:

Makes me want to rewatch walking with monsters.
I also second the 'demonic butterfly' comment, because it's A) true and B) a cool as heck description.

Nice work, I like the perspective, gives it a kind of "demonic butterfly" quality.
