Your use of pointillism to illustrate tentacles is wonderful!
Not something I'd have thought of, that's for sure. He looks all bumpy and nice. I'd want to pet him, really. I don't think he'd appreciate it much but whatever.

LOL.
NEWS JUST IN:
A local octopoid deity whose name is being withheld for legal reasons today laid charges against deviantART member TheGlome for trespass and attempted sexual assault.
"He was going to touch me in my special place," the deity said, from his sub-aquatic apartment earlier this morning. "When his hand reached for my under-tentacles, I just froze. Thank goodness Shub-Niggurath happened along -- who knows WHAT he might have done."
TheGlome himself was unavailable for comment, but inside information has it that he's long held an unhealthy fascination with the eldred. More news as it comes in. Now, over to Bob in Innsmouth, for the weather.

Didn't this split the pen tip?
I think one of mine split doing something like this. 
Anyway, it looks awesome!

I went through a few pens, yeah, but ran out of ink before they got raggedy like that. I don't push too hard, as the pens I use have tips that will retract into the body of the pen if I do, moreso than splitting. And thanks.

They sound like rather useful pens. What're they called?

They are called... Unipin! I had to find one to tell you that.
And I wrote some prose! 
.... prose is scawwy

Thanks, endless-one, always nice to meet another HP fan. Seriously, I must get a scanner. I have a stack of these, some that have taken me literally months to complete, and I can't get them up here, lol. Thanks so much for dropping by, and kind words.

Interesting . . . here's a link to the English Doctor Who website. Why? Because this here picture reminds me of a character used in some of the episodes!
