Squid-face faces

Image
Working on more ideations for my squid-faces. I'm toying around with different head shapes and ways to work with the lil' feeler things. There's a half-baked idea that the older an individual is, the more deedlybobs (I'm recovering from stomach flu, you'll get the technical term later) they have on their feelers and wattles.  I'm also trying to figure out how their eating works. On one hand, I might give them a beak like an octopus; on the other, they may extrude acid/enzymes from barbs on their tongue and then slurp the whatever-it-was up like a smoothie.

Playing With Acrylics

I dug out my old acrylics (which I haven't touched in four years) and played around with them yesterday. They're nowhere near as polished-looking as my digital works, and my control was a bit off. That said, I'm happy with the colors, and the overall feel of working in a different medium was really nice to experience.
