Artist's Comments

This is the Harumphtopus, so-named because my boyfriend thought my octopus was crossing his front arms in irritation.

I really...REALLY need an airbrush. Brushed-on acrylic paint is too uneven, whether applied thinly or thickly, particularly on something like this octopus where there's lots of nooks and crannies that are easy to overlook/not reach.

The little booger is about 3.5" long and wide, and 1.5" tall. He's made of super sculpey, painted with iridescent blue paint, iridescent gold, and some boring white+black. He's also been sealed with a double-layer of shiny polyurethane, for that wet/slimy look.

Besides his 'crossed arms' making him look grumpy his eyes are also full of expression. I love how you added the top coat to make him look slimy! :)

Oh and I also thought he was made out of some sort of metal due to the 'shiney-ness' until I read your description!

i like the rough look, gives him character

Oh my goodness! He makes me squee in delight. If you were to make something like him as a pendant, I'd be all over it!

xD! Harrumph indeed. I didn't notice at first glance, but that is what he looks like he's doing. Very cute!
