Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Thought I'd celebrate by painting the holiday's new mascot ;)

The Terrible Tentacled Tickler

This is a drawing I did for the latest Fish Barrel (blog) challenge. The topic was "Sailors vs. Sea Monsters". My monster is known by sailors as "The Terrible Tentacled Tickler". It kills it's prey by catching them in it's tentacles, tickling them so they laugh uncontrollably, and then dragging them below the water while they are laughing, thereby drowning said victims. It is a formidable adversary indeed.

*As a side note, I have lately been inspired by the art of Nate Wragg (blog linked at the right), so any resemblance between my work and his is purely out of admiration/exploration.
