So nice

...that is the cutest octopus there ever was. :3

That sounds like a challenge... :D

aww <3

I wish this guy was watching over me, too. That would be awesome. :0 I just love the paper you used here.. the picture really pops because of how you handled the shading and highlights. :3

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback!

This is one of my favorite colors of Canson.

Oh, no problem at all, my pleasure!

Hmm, I think I'll have to keep an eye out for that color as well. I really like it, looks great to work on!

wish i had a little angel octopus like this to follow me around, whatching over me.
he looks so caring.

Maybe you do!

He must give good hugs. :D

Totally.

So is there a devil one to sit on your other shoulder and give you bad advice? :)

...

There must be.

You have successfully ruined my productivity for the day. ;D

XD

Hey, maybe *I'm* the devil'pus ;)

That's adorable ^_^ You're very lucky to have him sticking by you. X3

:D I feel lucky.

I will never get over your awesome Squishies xD

*unnecessary amounts of love and win*

Feh! By the time I get here all the best comment are taken...

But! I shall make one anywho... it makes me feel sad and happy at the same time, when I concentrate on the image too much... it'd another masterpiece though!

Thanks. Weird emotions, but cool! Do you know what inspires each feeling??

I do. At first glance, when you see the entire image your eyes focus on the octopus, then after a second you see the halo. Both views on this image makes you feel that it's sweet... then again the halo makes you feel sad that it's no longer of the living. More so, you see the expresission it makes with it's right eye... it can be taken two ways. The way that stands out at first is sadness, it looks kind of sad for some reason, and the other is it looks proud and bashful. the movements of it's front tentacles seem to make the proud jesture stand out more. . . But this is a a crique from a guy who has no clue what he's talking about. ^_^

Cool! Thanks so much for putting it into words. It really helps me see what you see. :D

Anytime :D

I like the 'praying' tenticals

You just made me think of a praying mantistopus

Wouldn't that be a variation on the 'Cuttle Fish' as they have a strike very much like a mantiss?

Good point.

I was thinking of adding claw-arms, but squids have those covered too. D:

Anyone that has not stared in fascination at these amazing and intelligent animals, or who has not look upon them in awe as a Cuttle Fish looks back at you and it's pigmentation cells flash and ripple like some crazed neon sign... has lost their sense of wonder of the world around them. You do them honor by showing them to us through your eyes. Thank you Meg, thank you

Well put. Cephalopods are absolutely amazing. People hate going to aquariums with me. ;D

I'd LOVE going to an aquarium with you! Heck, I just love aquariums... And 'pods!

It would rock to visit cephs with someone who loves them as much as I do. :D

Sweet... I think you like 'em more than I do, but they so pretty, mang... And fun to watch. Aquariums are just neat places, too. Underwater zoos!

do you ever do bad work?!! seriously!! to friggin cute
shame on you

Of course I do! I just don't post it!

ah, yes, true......

Everyone should have a guardian angel octopus~ I know I want one. :3

I like to think that everyone has one already.

You do more with eye expression than some people can manage with a whole body, it's wonderful and that little guy must watch over you well n.n though I'd think it'd be awkward swimming with those wings o.o

Thank you! Eyes are very expressive, but it's still challenging working with just one. ;D

And wings are great for swimming! Ever seen a puffin or penguin underwater?

True, wings can be used for aquatic locomotion, though they're not usually that 'fluffy'

Your Cephalopods are always cute and entertaining n.n it's wonderful to see all the interesting ways you work with them n.n

Never drive faster than he can squiggle!

*snort* LOL

Regular angels play the harp. Octopus angels play the bassoon.

OMG YOU ARE KILLING MY PRODUCTIVITY

Also, I snorted Dr. Pepper out my nose when I read that.

Even got its tentacles in a prayer pose.

*holy music*

guardian octopus is watching you in the bathtub!

OH GAWD

At least I won't drown...

and you'll be protected from the drain snails

Are you sure? Cuz now I'm not wanting to ever get in a bathtub again.

Well as you know I majored in cephalopod theology, so let me share a little evening prayer with you:

One night I'll lay down in the deep,
I pray Ma Hydra, lost souls to reap,
And to Father Dagon, my mortal husk,
If tonight you save me from lewd molluscs.

:D

I'm going to say that prayer every time I get in the tub.

I thought i didnt fav this for a sec there x_x

not bad really, heh i personally prefer the bat-winged versions watchful eye though ;)

Dude, I'll totally make the deviltopus bat-winged! Very Cthulhuish.

sweet! cthulhu is awesome, my point exactly lol

this is full of so many kinds of awesome I don't even know where to begin.

:D Thanks!

Looks like something Ursula Vernon would make.

My heart exploded, showering the screen with love, man.

Sweet, I love Ursula! Thanks. :D

The shading in this is perfect! The paper structure along with the clear lighting make it look very calm and plastic.
Also, his cheeks make me think of Santa Claus. Does he hand out free Coca-Cola?

Thanks! That blue paper makes me happy.

And he hands out calorie-free Coke that actually tastes like Coke.

If that's not proof of supernatural powers, I don't know what is.

OH MY GOD EPIPHANY I only just realised that Meg Lyman is, like, an actual name. I always figured meglyman was a reference to something or a contraction >_<... It's a miracle! Praise be!

My guardian angel has touched you! ;D

Argh! If I EVER see yer art at a Con I'm attending, I'm BUYING some! *giggle* I know of no-one else who makes cephs look so sweet as you do. Oh, yah- faved it.

Damn, now I wanna draw myself as a 'pod...

DO IT

I WILL! *grins*

*giggle* Here ya go! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1241697/

very cute and beautiful as always *always loves your little critters*

Heehee, cephblush in general. ;D

very kuit and also beautiful : } such a sweet.. expression!! for an octopus*8 lol

Heheh.... most octopus are cute but they don't often look sweet. ;D Thanks!

For some reason, this reminds me of Manny the Mammoth in Ice Age...

You are weird.

I like it. :D

No seriously! Look at the octo's eyes, then compare it's silouhette to this pic!
http://www.modernhometheater.com/gi.....ltdown/ice.gif

OK, OK... I see the resemblance! ;D

lol...thought you would. I was amazed when I first saw it!

Guardian Angels can take any form to aid them in assisting their mortal friend, so I'd think this would possibly make some sense with you.

:D It fits.

Oh it's cute! I want to kiss it on the...on it's....um....I don't see a face, per se, so the top of its head. X3

If I've got a guardian angel, I really hope it looks like this.
