Animal Fan Club! Back in business

Yeah I guess, anyways back on topic

Nidking's Community Section

Okay, ladies and gents, we have our fifth feature!

Today's Class are: The Cephalopods!

Here are some lovely images of our squidgy friends.

An Octopus.

A Humboldt Squid.

And a Chambered Nautilus.

These strange, yet highly intelligent animals have been around a very long time. Although most of them are rather small, you can get real giants. Most of the real titans of the cephalopod family are rare, and some are only speculation.

Ladies and gentlemen, from now until next week, we have the Cephalopod Week. Please submit your tributes to this class of animal, and they will come here for critique at the end of the week!

Submissions awaiting critique on sunday:

Lumorei's Octopus.

I believe this topic I once made will suit the Cephalopod Week rather well

Very nice Ark, I may add a link section and put that in it

You want a Octopus? Here. It's an Octopus, some kind of Octopus.....Tearing my shell apart, because it looks so crappily made.



The word Octopus sounds strange.....

Lum why don't you do a cake octopus in real life ?

That would be awesome.

I tried that before, it never works out the way I want it to.

In 2D it looks like crap.

In 3D the legs are too fragile.

In 4D it can't exist.

@Lum: what about 1D?

Isn't 1D a Navigation Form?

I can think of a way to do a octopus, possibly using swiss rolls to create the tentacles, and then a layered cake for the main body. Cover it in some form of icing... possibly royal icing

I think that might work if you support it with wire cables!

But sadly, I've been beaten at my own game already.

How did they get the skin texture?
I'm taking a guess at the suckers being made out of dried banana or something similar

Although this one isn't as realistic it's still very good!

Even if it´s about what sort of meat goes better with potatoes?

I'd say that depends on the style you plan to cook the potatoes and the type of meat along with cooking style...
For example for a side of roasted venison you'd probably need to roast potatoes...
But Roast chicken is much more flexible as you can do roast, sautéed potatoes etc...
