Blue Ringed Octopus

Very much like my last two posts,
did some simple sketches on which angle to do,
slowly added details and referred to logos and detailed art/photos. Also trying out the half-tone dots in different ways and shapes in Illustrator.

Animal facts:
This species of Octopus is one of the most venomous animals in the world. The venom causes numbness and then muscle paralysis, from what I've read most of the time people die of respiratory failure. It's a species that is only as big as the palm of your hand but it has enough venom to kill about 25 people.
