I think I'll get it sculpted in time fairly easily but painting... maybe not.

 >:D

It was the painting I was really wondering about. Well, good luck!  :D

This, the most 'original' entry of the contest in my opinion, is coming together very nicely.

Definitely. 8)  An interesting concept with some nice putty pushing going on.  I particularly like the baskets.  :-*

Thanks chaps. While I by no means think to best the competition, It has been fun creating this.
Here are some pics I took and flipped upside down, nothing is attached just yet but it gives me an idea of how it should look. I still need to do some detailing on the tentacles and where they attach.

That looks great! This is not my normal interest but I have really enjoyed watching you sculpt this and put it together.

Very unique and creative!

I'll probably just take a couple of pics and have a small insert into a larger one showing the underside.

Brilliant, mate.
It makes me think of the Wamphyri creatures in Necroscope.

A really fun looking sculpt - have you had any thoughts about the paint job?

Lol, nope. I think I may have to go for varying shades of green... I don't think I'll get it painted. Just built.
