Eli was mortified when it was found out his true source of energy.

Managed to squeeze out 2 drawings tonight, one I'll share, the other I won't (don't like the way it turned out, but keeping it in the archive to look back on).
When I first saw the IF topic for this week, I immediately thought of electric eels.
Here are a few neat facts:
– Electric eels can put out a charge of up to 500 volts
– they can grow to 8 feet long
– the eels use their "power" not only to stun their prey, but to communicate with one another and to orient themselves in the water
– the electric eel is not a true eel, but part of a group of electrical fish, which include electric catfish and the Asian knifefish
Have a good weekend, and Happy Mothers Day to all you moms or moms-to-be!
