A very drunken octopus
I've made a drunken octopus before, but this one is on his way to getting blotto. Hammered. Three sheets to the wind. See all the bottles? I gave him a little snack in a shell, too, for drunk munchies ;-).
Oh, cute :D He's having it easy, as he can hold multiple bottles at the same time - you know, he could smoke a couple of ciggies simultaneously also ;)
The octopus must be very happy, surrounded by food and especially good bottles. You've got it all so real !!!!!! Congratulations !!!!!!! besitos ascension
Kristy, I made another one just like this, except his big head is completely off to the side, so he looks more drunk! He's also slipping more into the water. I snapped a pic of this one because you can see more of his legs ;-)!
Susan, that would be super cool!! Ok, here I go again with the "old-school" thing, but I've always loved claymation (how apropos!). I studied animation in S.F., but not for that long. Just Flash stuff.
Hic!!
