When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.
Artist's Comments
The Winoctopus is the lesser-known cousin of the Kleptoctopus. They stay in the seas, hosting wine-tastings and posh parties that last far past the hour when most sensible octopus have gone to bed. They spend all their money on wine, and are usually broke. They will sit outside underwater convenience stores until passing kleptoctopus toss them enough spare keys and stolen socks to buy enough wine to host their next party.
My second digital art! This time I played with textures. It was excessively fun and took an excessively long time. Media: Digital Size: 5x7" Prints: Available |

Reminds me of my anthro-pus Camille (in my user icon) except he prefers gin

I'm still uploading slightly old stuff (i.e. a few months), and I have been doing a lot of cephalopods recently. They all have stories.

This is wonderful--I love the little details: the spilled and tipping wine glasses, the discarded corkscrew, the almost loving caress of the bottle--and the little crab peeking over the ridge in the background, as though surveying the "aftermath!" Great mood, great colors and a wonderful scene to match your little story! The digital is obviously becoming much more comfortable for you--this looks terrific!

Thanks so much for your comments! I really enjoyed picking colors for this, but it printed out dull and all purple-toned. I need to tweak the colors to get good prints. So much to learn with digital! I am feeling a bit more comfortable, but this one took a long time. And my tablet isn't working properly right now... might have something to do with beer and Linux programming.

LOL!
I'm not sure I see the "purple tones" you're refering to in this--maybe it's my monitor... Like I said--I'm technologically-challenged!
