You know, I actually only found out that this is the most poisonous octopus that we know of, and they actually only look like this when they are trying to ward off enemies. Absolutely beautiful work BTW

Amazing, just like looking at a real one. It look like I could just reach in and hold it, but then jet again being 1 inch and having so much nerotoxin to kill 8 fully grown men, I think I will pass. But yet again awesome work and keep it up!

This.Is.So.Beautiful.
It's prevalent in your painting that you had fun with this because the detail and the clarity of the piece.
The rocks look very superb. The shading is nice. Can't find anything wrong with this, plus octopuses are awesome. Nuff said.

Thank you so very much.... I had a lot of fun, really! There was a moment when I wasn't sure I was going to finish it because it lacked a lot of contrast, and for me it's really difficult to work with yellows, but in the end it came up nicer than I was expecting!
OCTOPUSES RULE! Thank you again so very much for the comment, truly appreciated!
