Pathological Cephalopod

Description

This was inspired by an image I saw - [link] It's based off a common octopus ([link]) Oh yeah, and the title was shamelessly stolen from Pharyngula: [link]

Took about 25 hours to paint in gouache on illustration board. It's 19x19 inches. I'm thinking about making a t-shirt design in a similar vein.

I did have some photo references, most notably the image linked above. Essentially what I did was print out a bunch of nice photos, looked at them once at the beginning and then proceeded to utterly ignore them. If there's any errors, well, that's why!
