Well, it took me about 30-36 hours of work… i wish i had a wacom tablet... this is what i’ve got. I’ll be doing more work on it tomorrow, any suggestions?
i think the design needs some more to it though…either layering or some sort of background…maybe bring in a big ornate piece to flow behind the tentacles or sumthing. I’d try playing with the name to.
All the tentacles should be really smoothed. the bottom ones seems a little shaky.

What is your process?
it’s cause i keep finding things i don’t like about it. This design is one of my “artist block” pieces … I keep trying things and nothing’s working, it’s frustrating, but i don’t want to give up on it just yet.

I really love your illustration style. The lines in this one are beautiful.
Were you going to add any color to it, or just leave it one color? I think that with the right coloring that thing would really pop.

I really like this one. The color choices, the placement, and I respect the time and patience you put into it.
