Octopus drawing

If you've ever seen my comics, you know i can't draw worth crap. So I was pretty surprised when I was done with my pen and saw this:

Kinda looks like an octopus, doesn't it? Adding some colors from the game turns it into this:

Did a Google image search for "octopus" and found that some of them actually are that color. Now I don't think they're as big as submarines, though. That'd have to be a pretty big octopus in order to stop a submarine from moving. Another Google image search for "coral" actually did turn up some green coral. (Those walls are supposed to be coral walls.) I redesigned the octopus in the game so it now looks like this:

I think it's reminiscent of the ghosts in the Atari 5200 version of Pac-Man. But anyway, this shows I'm working on the game even when I'm not working on the game.
