Description
Prints: daniel-eskridge.artistwebsites…An octopus with an almost red and pink marbled skin moves among brown coral in an ocean shallow. The creatures tentacles whip around as it scuttles through the aquatic landscaped. The cephalapod turns its menacing gace upon you as moves towards you.
This is the latest in my aquatic creature series depicting undersea life. A few weeks ago, I published "Warriors of the Primeval Sea" ( bit.ly/1sHjcCU ) which featured an octopus battleing it out with a plesiosaur. I like the way the octopus looked so much that I decided to make this work featuring him alone.

I've been wishing for a shader that does exactly what you did for octopus skin. Is that a shader or UV texture?

It's actually a 3 layered Vue texture.
