Description

Well,

I finally know what is more aggrivating and tedious than painting dragon scales: Octopus suckers

This one really tested my patience, I'm glad it's done!

The looong tentacles are deliberate and according to client's whishes

This will get printed on tee's

Painted with PS CS3 and Wacom Graphire tablet

PLEASE view fullsize thanks!

that is awesome, I love how the octopus looks as if it is a tree stump with the tentacles looking like the roots. colors are fantastic. What is that thing coming out of the octo's left side below the left eye?

Great work - the octopuss is fantastic. I like the backround also, but the orange cracks look little weird - too shallow imho and there should be much more bubles from that steam (i was working on textures for volcanic island recently so i got lot of references

)

Crazy good! The texture on the octopus works really well. Looks kinda like wood, and makes me think about the roots of giant old trees...

Thanks Andydude, Pat, Gary, Daykandude(!), Jacobine, Phil, Kyrylo, Michal, Mariam, Sandra! Really appreciated

Pat: that thing sticking out is called a 'siphon' It pumps water through the gill system to enable the Octopus to breath

Michal: youre absolutely right about those bubbles, i did research too, but it wouldnt be aestetically nice as the bubbles would cover the octopus too much, so I took some creative liberties with this

thanks

Love it! =)

Only thing i miss in the piece is some object or maby a person close to it for scale.. to me it sort of looks like it could be an ordinary sized octo. The ship just looks like its far away and the octo really close to the camera, and the fish mainly just apears to be small. Like i said =) maby i diver or a shark or something would do the trick.

I have a pet octopus that looks exactly like this

Great work, the details are ridiculously good as always. Top marks.

top work Vince

!
wonderful lighting, texture and color scheme.

I would prefer a bit more add on the glow that comes out of the cracks.

+10 power!
