IF: Boundaries- Green Octopus

Study for a lady/"monster" themed piece!

I also felt this fit with Illustration Friday's "Boundaries" theme because I like how her hair is sort of a tentacle and how the boundary between what is her and what is the octopus....

The Pelican

So, a few weeks ago, we scattered my father in law's ashes in the ocean. He had always said that he wanted to come back as a pelican, since you just hang out all day and eat fish. When we went to scatter his ashes, three pelicans came out of nowhere, flew around the boat, and hung out for a few minutes before flying away. It was quite sweet and touching; a very good omen that Patrick was with us!

I was working on a commission for my friend, Shelby, and this is a drawing cleaned up from my studies....
