Description So this is one that I'm really quite proud of...a rarity, so that's nice.

That forward most tentacle still bugs me because it's not fluid like the rest (I may change it). I think I finally nailed some of the Kirby-monster stubbiness that I was going for in earlier prelim stuff.

yeah, I was scouring a bunch of old Kirby stuff and different Ben10 monsters, and Toth stuff for a good mouth agape look for a monster and ended up swiping the pose from a Randolph sketch of Ookla.

Proud with good cause, I'd say. This has a fantastic weight to it, in a Mike Allred sort of way.

I have to admit that I swiped the posing from Khary Randolph sketch, but I still ended up liking the finished product.

Fun-tastic! I can imagine it grappling a person with its tentacles while beating the unfortunate fellow with its huge fists

thanks lady.

i figured most tentacled beasties only use their tentacles...I thought it'd be cool to have a pair of tree trunk arms would make him that much more formidable.

I must say, there's something that's just intrinsically "American comic book" about your drawings.
