You poked at the exact same things that bug me about it still. It reached a point where I just needed to stop fooling with it and call it done. Looking at it, I'm tempted to go put the hat in the tentacle's grasp, except then I'll lose the strong spiral accent of the tentacle...
The subject's response describes some of the reasons for my decisions, too. I really played fast and loose with the shapes in this one and just didn't worry about being "on model" or anything like that - I wanted it to be my own demented visualization of the character. I flt weird doing a pose where the eyes aren't visible at all; I think that's an implicit "NO" when you're drawing Someone's Character - the face needs to be visible! you have to be able to connect with their eyes! - and breaking that was fun.
Creepiness? Yeah. Also erotica, if you're into the right fantasy kinks. And yet it's perfectly work-safe... isn't it?
