IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! (not really...)

This is how my progress looks. It looks... progress...ive...ish... ...

Being God. Making a squid.

The process is fuzzy and difficult, since the squid has so much texture and gradient. I may have to ultimately forego the texture, but I'll keep the gradient. The tentacles are also proving to be tough. They have a complex shadow to them that's difficult to grasp.
Here's what I have now :3

First Attack Pt. 2. AIRBOW FROM THE ILLUSTRATOR!!!!

Yup. Here's my jpeg of the illustrator file.

First Attack!! Airbow!!!!!

The results of stress and desperation. What makes this worse? I don't like rainbows. Rainbows are a vomit of color from the uninspired sky. And just because I made one does not mean I like them now. In fact, I don't think I'll like them ever.

Oh well, enjoy the arts!

P.S.: Yes, it's too small. Ya know what? ... Meh.
