I do not really have time to do a color illustration....but the prompt inspired this image and I could not resist putting it on paper...so just a quick inking piece.
In case zoology is a long way in the past, the hermit crab finds and inhabits shells from other animals and often carries a sea anemone around in what is supposed to be a mutually beneficial relationship....
Ok, here is my 'independent.' I figured an ostrich wants the independence of flight most of all, so away he goes. I'm really enjoying participating in these prompts and forcing myself to get faster in the painting process. 
Thanks
