Finally ! I finally finished my entry for TheQuiet-Llama 's contest, called "Colours of the Deep". The main purpose of this contest was to create something colour focused with a squid or an octopus as the main subject.
For more information about the contest, here is the link to the contest journal : fav.me/d9c0k46

I really enjoyed working on that work. The idea of drawing an giant octopus as a pillar guardian came to my mind really quickly. I don't know why, but the idea looked really badass for me. It was my first time drawing an octopus, but it was less difficlut than I thought it would be.

  I drew the main octopus using photo references of the "coconut octopus", which scientific name is "Amphioctopus marginatus". The redish colours of this octopus catch my eyes and I found it perfect for this colour focused work.
  The little pink octopuses are based on a new octopus specie, discovered recently, with no formal name yet. For the moment, it is called the "octopus adorabilis" because, yeah, they're really cute.
  The character on the bottom-right side of the picture is my underwater warrior (here her own drawing -> fav.me/d8tuz9s ). She is asking for an audience with the Pillars Guardian, to ask for some kind of blessing.

Well, I hope you like it !
