This long form looks something like a fish, with a rocky head and two side-by-side bulbous protrusions along its underside, behind its short neck. A long, tapered body ends in curled tentacles or talons, with a small, short tail above them.

Pen & ink drawing

This sketch of a predatory aquatic creature was drawn in the style of my welded steel pieces. I later used it as the basis for an actual steel sculpture, also titled Nomlandiform.
