Woah! Cool design! I love it. The limited color pallette really helps give the tentacles contrast against the rest of the piece. I like the look of the foggy muggy city in the background and the greens are too off putting, if you know what I mean?I think some things to improve would be the use of the big eye in the window? It doesn't quite strike me as an octopus eye or squid eye, more anime-esque, which, if you were going for that style, then go for it, I just think it would have been more effective to make that detail more realistic. I would also accentuate the slimness of the tentacles, like you have with the water on the ground, but make it more all over, that would give it a more cohesive effect. I don't know if your intent for this octopus was to make it friendly or not but if you were, maybe soften the tentacles a little? Make the shapes more "friendly" if that makes sense. I think it would have been more effective to not have the window obstruct the eye of the octopus, it kind of distracts from it, makes it hard to differentiate from the foreground.Your technique with the painting is phenomenal, you really know what you're doing! I like that your use of color shows the different sections of the work in different moods, how the drain is wet, cold and has monsters in it and cool tones is great, especially in contrast to the warm welcoming house with the octopus spilling out of the door! I love that you incorporated the red and orange of the octopus in other parts of the work, like in the mice, nice touch.Overall, it's really something, the mood is great and everything works well together, just a few tweaks here and there to the composition would make it amazing!
