That's gorgeous. Know you said the colouring on the octopus was inspired by someone else, but you've done a great job

It's soothing....and green. The contrast between the octopus and the water is very noticeable (and surprisingly, the bright colors don't look tacky at all!)

Is he right at the point of death? Because he looks extremely serene for a man drowning to death.
As always, your colors, use of light, and wonderful textures rock my world. They're mindblowing, and I think it's grandly beautiful that you used Klimt for your octo-inspiration.

your work is so beautiful in a tactile, inviting way. I always want to draw after I've looked through your gallery (but am also a bit intimidated cause everything you do is so good!)

You did a lovely job on the coloring, the style of it gives it it's own special feel to the picture. The colors you used complement each other very well, the orange red coloration against the blue greens of the background cause the focal point to stick out well in the picture. The expression of the face seems rather calm, while the movements of the hands look as though they where once moving around but slowly stopped, that gives it a very interesting appearance to the picture since it's such a surreal type image. The hand to the left appears rather awkward, the fingers look a little stressed, while it also looks as though it is missing a finger.
You did a very good job though sweetie, keep it up!

Gorgeous I love the vibrant colors in the tentacles (and the Klimtiness). The placement of the fish, it adds to make a nice break in the water lines. Also really love how the water was done, the white lines sort of look like wave ripples. It's awesome :B
Compositionally though, it's a bit heavy on the bottom. You could offset that by adding a stroke of slightly darker blue in the upper left corner or maybe more white lines. (Hope you don't mind the critique)

It's always nice to see your new pictures, and your old. Maybe the fact that your pictures are quite seldom makes them all the sweeter when they do pop up in my deviation-box.
About he picture I dn't think I can add anything not already said. *thumb up*

The fish at the bottom has a really unique texture and I like the pattern of the octopus's tentacles. It's very admirable.
