wow this is a very interesting piece of art, how did you get the ida for a squid/octopus/cephalapod/angel........................or a cephaloctopusgle?

Honestly, I'm not exactly sure. My muse seems to hover at the intersection of squishy shapes and absurdity, and this fit in nicely. I think it started with the angel/devil aardvarks I painted years ago needing an update...

Heehee, OK, I'll put it on the list for the next round!
Any suggestions for text?

You know, none that I can think of at the moment... I just like the potency of the image itself, I'm not sure it really needs any words

Never got a chance to ask you before, have you actually touched an octopus before? I remember getting to hold a baby octopus in my hands and it was so wiggly and squishy and the suckers felt so strange.

I've never touched a live one. Suckers must feel awesome! I'm jealous that you got to hold one.

Doh, forgot to mention that. It's ~9x10" - I had to get a custom mat for it. Bad artist! *smacks hand*

I think it's the kind that smacks me upside the head from time to time, too. It's part of the guardian-ing.

As in, "Don't do that, dummy!" *suckery smack*

Now that I think about it, their blush should be greenish-blue colored...

don't they have red blood then?

Naw, it's copper-based, so it's bluish!

This is easily the coolest guardian angel ever. I mean, he can lend EIGHT helping hands!

i like the whole octopuss as spirit guide sort of idea. i've actually been wanting to try a few realistic versions of matt groening characters, specifically zoidberg who's a whatsit sort of lobsterish octopus thing. makes me want to give it a go again.
nice drawing in general. touching, bizarre. the whole ball of wax.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sweet, wax.
You should totally draw Zoidberg realistically. It would rock.

i'll let you know if it happens (if it works)

First thing that came to my mind when I saw this pic is..."hmm...interesting!" and then "aww...its sorta cute!" then..."lol" and finally I made my mind and add it to my favs!
