Spine-finned Octopus(sketch and line art)

This assignment is for an electronic illustration class. We were assigned to create a new breed or species of animal. The process includes creating digital thumbnails of our creature, then traditionally inking them, scanning the inked image into the computer and adding color and textures using custom brushes and blending modes in Photoshop CS2.

I really wanted to draw some kind of octopus for this assignment and decided that it needed to look more menacing with some kind of spiney fins on its head.

This was my favorite thumbnail, especially because of the way the eyes looked.

After I inked the image I brought it to class and the teacher's aid didn't like it. He wanted me to do the thumbnail below instead. Hopefully it will turn out well.

I still want to finish the first one in color because I think it's a good character study. I'll post more progress as it comes.

Well, this last thumbnail is more dynamic and you can have loads of fun drawing the detail on the tentacles :)

I really like your line work on the first one. I would like to see you finish it. Maybe you can turn them into a series.
