Concept - Symbiotic Scorpion

Doing lots and lots of paintings. And that's about it. Starting to doubt my fundamentals. Do I really need to go back and learn those all over again? I hope not. I'd rather draw these forever. Maybe I'll become a graphic novelist.

This aquatic scorpion lives in an extremely dark, cavernous environment. One their back, they have a layer of fungi, thriving on the thin layer of epidermis that the scorpion is born with specifically for this purpose. When the layer runs out, the fungi produce a glowing mass of spores, which light up the caverns in order to attract these scorpions to each other during mating season. The fungi then settles on the eggs (which are sealed in a protective sac), and waits for the offspring to emerge.
