Let me tell you a story...
Once upon a not so far away time, the octopus and the moon met. Almost immediately, they decided to take up permanent residence in my imagination. So, I drew them. Again and again.
Then, I wondered…
How would others express this unique friendship?
And so the quest for more octomoon art began.
ππ These adorable works of art were collected from across Godville. Thank you, everyone! ππ
- Ringo Deathstar – The cuteness of this duo is just overwhelming. XD
- Mykus Aditus – An incredibly impressive animated moon/octopus.
*__*
- S624 – Ink wash on paper makes for a beautifully serene octomoon. <3
- Azzageddi – “The octopus who fell in love with the moon.” This is quite stunning. :O
- Okutsu – I can’t stop staring at the expression on this octopus. Such a sweet contrast. XD
- Kyta S Indigo – Custard hat, moon snowman?! Kyta sure knows how to make a girl squeal. So cute!
- Sohail – “The moon and octopus sharing dark secrets and the phoenix, protecting them from prying eyes and ears.” … aww. T_T
- Brihtnoth – Question! What happens when a budding artist decides to add color and inadvertently uses fat smudgey pastels, then has to spend all his time retracing all his drawing lines? An octomoon that is so cute it’ll make you want to unleash a string of excited expletives. XD
- Goji54 – It’s like the octopus is thinking: “Eheh, finally made it out to space!” before wrapping all those tentacles around the unsuspecting moon. :3
- Arona Almighty – Flan on one arm, moon on the other. What else could an octopus possibly need? :D
- Pysrilexot – What is this octopus doing on the moon? Looks a bit devious. Heh… XD
- Bobby Bob – Ohhhh, this octomoon is absolutely precious. XD It’s almost as though it’s saying: “Mine! :3”
- Trillhein – “Oversized Baggage” is the title of this masterpiece. It is truly gorgeous!
- Uuk – I’d never seen an octopus/moon snowflake before… but now that I have, I can say that they’re absolutely amazingly adorable!! :D
- Pantheist Goddess – Have you ever seen a 3D model of an octomoon? Well now you have. Isn’t it amaaaazing? :D
- Raaknir – Another wonderful additon titled: When the moon met the octopus. Awww… look at that octo reaching towards the moon. T_T

(Pause for a brief intermission…)
ππ Behold! MORE ART! Here’s my collection of octopus/moon creations! All done by yours truly.ππ
- True Love – What a pleasure this was to work on. It was originally drawn with pencil, scanned, then digitally colored. I love both their expressions and I feel the colors convey a lot of emotion. <3
- Work in Progress – An ornament version of the above, made out of clay. Still working on it!
- Breaking News – And they didn’t even invite me to the wedding…
- Clay Octopus – I’m a total amateur with clay… but still, I try! XD
- I Caught Ya! – When the moon insists on being so far away, sometimes you’ve gotta be a bit more aggressive. :3
- Gleeful Cuddle – I could go for something like that…
- Stained Glass – This one’s a collaboration. ^_~
- Harvest Moon – An offensively cute interpretation of Harvest Moon. Done specifically for one of their contests. Heh.
- Octodoodle – Sometimes I get bored at work and stuff just comes out… >_>
- Octoflan – Uhhh… because octopus shaped flan is totally normal. XD But hey, I still managed to get the moon in there!
- Serendipity ππ – A visual representation of my main account’s motto.

Mykus Aditus over at Nautilus did this beautiful animated (and pixel!) rendition of my moon/octopus. Look here! It’s… so… pretty. *__*
And also this super-cute octo climbing turtles and seashells to reach the moon. It’s adorable.

What can I say… they’re a very inspiring couple. More soon?
