so thats my reference image this is what ive started on so far only like a hour done so far, but some basic modelling just the outer shell and inner main bit, anyone got any ideas on how i could add the tenticles ive been thinkin bout modelling mall individually but that will be a serious time consumer. I wonted to enter this for the competition but wernt allowed so i thought i may aswell do it cos it will be a lot a fun. Tips, ideas, help are all appriciated.
