      The girl's expression is perfect! I can hear her making that yuck noise, and my face wants to do what she's doing because I feel her pain. Hahah way to go.

              Next work in progress. Started on the colors. Going to let it sit for a day and come back to it.

                @evilrobot Looking awesome! It may not be something you want to alter, but the tentacle in the foreground seems a little off to me and feels like it should behind the candelabra, maybe it's just me

                    Thanks for the advice @Gary-Wilkinson Yeah I need to fix the front tentacle. I like it coming in front of the candle stick but it is a bit wonky.
                    With the background on the first page of the spread, do you think I should leave it blue? I was debating with my self over if I should just leave it, if I should throw in some flat colors, or if I should do a little rendering back there? I just want the foreground to be popped out no matter what I do. And on the other one not sure if I should put some texture on that blue background or erase it out on one side and have a gradient that goes to white.

                      @evilrobot you could leave the background white, but maybe complete the top of the chair so it all pops off the page
