The Escapist

Tentacle-Medusa Cecil Baldwin. 

I was trying to make sense of a person having tentacles on their body without it just being a lower body graft like a Cecaelia. In terms of basing this design of real octopusses, I was thinking of dumbo octopus for the floppy ears and coconut octopus for the lights/markings. So that I can be lazy with colour, he’ll have working chromatomaphores so that he can change the tentacles to any colour he wants. I haven’t narrowed down a species for the tentacles yet.

I forgot that I never did a proper drawing for my Cecil Baldwin cosplay design [X], so here’s a quick one. 

I originally wanted to draw tattoos up my entire arms, and across the upper part of my chest, then wear a translucent-fabric shirt (like chiffron) to show them off through. I never could find the right shirt for that, so I ended up only doing forearm tattoos. I also wanted tattoos up his neck, but couldn’t manage to design ones I liked enough.
