This is a sequel to thie octopus-fairy illustration I made a few years ago! See the whole thing (with some butt-variations) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/fairies-2-fairy-32471123

Done with my current notebook/journal setup:
Platinum Carbon Ink with a
Hong Dian Forest fountain pen
Moleskine plain sketchbook.

Picture story for those interested:
When traveling for christmas we had our neighbour drive us to the airport at 4 in the morning - we had a bunch of luggage (+stroller) and didn't want to worry about fitting into a taxi at night. He refused payment, but requested a Canadian comic magazine. Turns out there might not exist such a magazine, at least I failed to find one.
In such circumstances he requested I draw him a picture of a booby octopus- and I just happen to have such a character among my OCs. He's a long-time collector of original art from comic artists so this is a hand-drawn thing.

p.s. Taking photos of paper art, especially watercolours is tough- I will try and photograph it tomorrow in sunlight and will replace the image if it comes out better!
