    @Dr Emilio Lizardo:

    If it makes you feel any better its about the same percentage of time (comparing lifetime vs time having sex) for humans and Crustose Coralline Red Algae.

    On the other hand if it's the red algae from an algal bloom ("red tide") then they are still having sex about 1hr 59 mins 56 secs after they have died.

    @AthronofEryndor: Until one of them has absorbed 20 or 30 of the others and then escapes and the show is suddenly "canceled", a spate of news reports of "unknown deaths" start happening around where the show was being filmed, roads are blocked, phone calls are jammed and the military presence starts getting scary and you know what happens next .....

    These gave me an intense flashback to an episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark?, the Tale of the Super Specs. The people from another dimension had similar, shadowy duds... #juhaarvidhelminen

    Juha and Arvid are both Finnish male names. On HIS deviantART page it also says that he's male. Well done, io9.

    The photo's are, however, fantastic. Like concept art for a really cool movie/show! #juhaarvidhelminen

    @MrThunderfield: Having established that the photographer is male, I just wonder if anyone now feels differently about these images and the emotions they evoke? (I'm not going anywhere with this - just interested to know whether knowledge of the artist's gender has modified anyone's responses to them). Also, you may be interested in his titles for the pics:
    1 & 9 (they are the same, aren't they?) - The Gathering
    2 & 6 (likewise) - Black Wedding
    3 - Faith
    4 - Queen of the Invisible Empire
    5 - Hesitation
    7 - Child of the Empire
    8 - The Grand Admiral.
