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 ;-).

  4. 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 ;)

    Fab job, I love your crazy ideas :D

  5. ...certainly gives new meaning to the term, 'pickled octopus'...

    He looks as though he is enjoying himself.

  10. That is great!

    Imagine the brave soul the first decided to eat an octopus (calamari) or a lobster! They must have been desperate. lol

  12. Thanks so much, guys!! I had fun making him!!

    HAHA!!! Pickled octopus :-D!!

    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.
