Cephalopods are my new obsession.

It started with my galaxy colored cuttlefish which will soon become my version of Cthulhu thanks to Mansions of Madness, a Lovecraftian inspired board game. I wish I would’ve finished the drawing before the end of @kommienezuspadt’s Trial by Comics but I took too long with the details.

What is it that I love about cephalopods? Hmmm...maybe it’s the curve of their plump ballon like bodies and their funny looking eyes. It could be their movements that have me hypnotized and the way their tentacles dance in the sea. If I ever went diving and I got to see one of these critters then I could scratch that off my bucket list. Not sure if I’ll ever find myself in the ocean though..since I’m terrified of it.

Any who, I saw that ntopaz has an animal art contest out so I’m hoping to continue drawing with one of these studies. I think I’ve made my selection but I could be persuaded if anyone wants to help me chose!


The progress...

All my drawings are original sketches drawn digitally by me on the Procreate App using the iPad Pro with Apple Pencil.


This cuttlefish has the best expression. I do love my animals grumpy looking!

While sketching this octopus I thought about how fascinating their movements are.

I’m gonna be honest by saying that I got a little hungry when I got to sketch my squid. I love eating calamari! 😆


Thanks for stopping by to check out my work!

Which is your favorite cephalopod from the bunch?🦊

These animals somehow look so cute in your drawing study... in videos, they look like aliens.
Foxxie, is this one for the Animal Art contest? The admin can move it for you if it is :).

Thanks Scrawly!! They do look like aliens! Maybe that’s why I like them because I find it amazing that creatures like cephalopods exist.

It is for the animal contest but I am going to pick one of these to color in. Not sure how many entries we can submit.

You can submit up to 3 entries per contest.
And for next time, on the contest page that you want to enter, click on the Participate button to submit your entry :).

Oh, they're beautiful! Cephalopods are the best. My fave is the cuddlefish cuttlefish.

They really are! They’ve got such cute personalities too! I love cuttlefish! You should click the links that I have to my galaxy cuttlefish if you haven’t seen it already!

Good representations!

Also, Mansions of Madness is such a great game!

Thank you!!

We have game nights on Friday so our groups been playing Mansions of Madness. I also just got the expansion for my birthday. 😄
