can I has jellyfish?

Had two hours to kill, so woopwoop. I might work this up at a later time, but for now.. hooray.. octopusErik.. used photoreference for this one, I still struggle with likeness >_< I think I need to exaggerate moooar

Shock me like an electric eel...

Managed to get this done before tomorrow's departures :]

Had some really exciting ideas for this theme! Enjoyed looking into it, then was a little disappointed that I ended up doing a portrait without much narrative. So I did try again, but I still couldn't quite realise my thumbnails. Ah well, fun project :)

The scanner I'm using had a bit of light leak, so some lines were lost in all the white, and the contrast had to be pumped.

Have a great week everyone, I'll see some of you in France,

Up on the shore they work all day,
Out in the sun they slave away,
While we devotin',
Full time to floatin',
In Annecy :p
