Thanks, I'm glad you recognized it. It is indeed based on bacteriophages.

I love how you rendered the tail sheath! It looks like it functions in a twisty way just like gene product 18 of phage T4

That's gnarly looking! Love how you did the mouth, gives me starfish vibes!

Idk if the name "slockna" means something else in other languages, but in swedish it means "burnt out" or "lights out". Looks fitting

Mostly a coincidence, that sort of knowledge is a bit too advanced for me, but thanks for letting me know about it.

It's because it explodes planets and suns like a bacteriophage explodes bacteria, leaving the universe in darkness.

There have been some pretty cool movies made showing the results of detailed work from structural phage biology that makes at least these aspects pretty accessible.
For example, check out this movie showing how the moving parts of this specific phage work together: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41aqxcxsX2w
Or this one showing the motion of another phage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy42CoyqKjE

I will private message you with it, as I'm not sure reddit allows promotional links in comments. Thanks for asking, by the way.

I like it! Perfect mix of a bacteriophage and some Lovecraftian elder god

Omg I just wanted to ask this! As a biochem student I love to see it inspiring art. Thank you! You're amazing! Love this art so much I made it my phone's background now. 😍

Thanks for linking! It's interesting to see that they do twist around.

Thank you very much for the kind words and the follow, I post most of my art on tumblr and deviantart though (it's the same username as here) if you want to see more of it. I only post sometimes on reddit.
Ashweed137 t1_jd2gpn8 wrote
Oh thanks! I will definitely follow you on Tumblr! Glad I've found you!
