Artist's Comments

I got a lot of help on this one from the good people at ConceptArt.org. So anything good in it is due to them ;) Coloring (on the octopus, anyway) was inspired by Klimt.

It's interesting, the patterning on the octopus definitely reminds me of Klimt, but the symoblist premise elsewhere is nicely executed.

well, that might be giving them a little too much credit. ;)


the gradient in the water and the detail of the fish is almost overwhelming. it's very surreal. he's listless, like he's either a: already dead or b: just too tired and is giving up.

have you got a house on the hill and a bed for three?

Klimt :) he was a genius for me ^^ and if he had ever painted an octopus it would have surely look like this one :D

You've made an excellent piece of art, congratulations :)

You have used Photoshop or sth different? I'm asking because I want to check how it is to make digital arts and I'm looking for the best programme for this ;)

Wow, this is absolutely lovely! All design elements are so tasty. I love the richness in the tentacles and the rendering on the boy's face especially. Great work!
