Banana Slug (Ariolimax columbianus), 2026

Banana slug (Ariolimax columbianus) is a digital illustration from 2026, inspired by Portland. Dark spots, ridges and pale highlights break up golden yellow across the curved body. The brown head angles toward the bottom edge, and a faint trail loops alongside. Varied texture gives the form depth, with no forest background.
