'Tentacle lady'
Happy new year steemers!
I saw this social media entry by a really great artist I follow (I'll add her name next time, just out my head a moment) and she was doing this great new year proposal for herself of one artwork a day for the month of January. A way of encouraging herself to make time for her love of art. I thought wow! What a flip nice idea! But sadly so impractical and impossible for me. What I need to be is a retired lady who can art all day long. Mmmm.
I've completed another ocean themed artwork. I'm hoping to complete a series. That will be interesting. It's always such a process though trying to decide what to paint next. This tentacle lady took such a long time and I was having some health issues along the way. But I thought she came out alright. I like her. I haven't found a competition to enter her into yet. I enjoyed entering with Mr whale.
I've shown my process pictures again so everyone can see how I do my work should they be interested. I use micron ink pens.
So here's a couple of questions :
Suggestions for my next picture?
Any suggested comps?
Thanks fellow Steemians

you are most welcome and I hope to see the seahorse in your version too.
by the way, I featured you in the pay it forward contest this week. check on this link if you have time https://steemit.com/payitforward/@cicisaja/pay-it-forward-curation-contest-week-39-happy-new-year
It is like the big brother of "Calamardo" the octopus in Sponge Bob
you could do a nautilaus squid cuttlefish and argonaut they are all cephalopods and would be a cool collection nice octopus though
cheers and happy new year
Thanks. Yes, I've been particularly keen on the naitilaus and have been doing some research on it. Thanks for all your great suggestions.

You are very talented. I enjoyed your artwork. Since you looking for suggestions, how about a turtle.

It's a great idea to try to complete a project a month. I know I am back to trying to Steemit more. I want to work my way back to once a day, but have been lucky if I get once a week.
I completely agree about needing to retire to art all day. I don't have time for it either. I know I need to make time. I really enjoy it.
You were featured in week 39 of @pifc's Pay It Forward Curation Contest by @cicisaja
Interesting drawing! Well done, @saltyseagull!
PS: I have found your post because @cicisaja featured you in her entry for The Pay It forward Contest
Thank you so much. Yes, I was very excited about my entry from @cicisaja . Was very appreciative. I am glad my artwork is getting coverage.
