MDDN 343. Project 1A, drawing up character

I really like the idea of a squid because I think it is an idea which hasn't been done before and could look really cool when modeled up.

I have done a couple sketches of a squid, as well as a top and side view of what I am hoping to for my character to look like.

The main thing which I am going to be changing is the idea that it is still a creature that kills. I want to have the fin of the squid to have turned into a sharp object which it now uses to kill its pray. Its entire body has been curved up so it gives it a better range of motion to use its tail for attacking.

Also having 6 legs gives it a lot more motions and can move very quickly. I want the legs to sort of be like a lobsters. My idea is for it to have a hard shell on its back which also goes over its legs which protects it from being attacked by other creatures
