A giant squid crammed into a goldfish bowl? Your guess is as good as mine. Texturing took forever in this pic. I just couldn’t get the shiney, slimey look I really wanted. I am also not quite 100% on the pose of the arms and tentacles, here. But all in all, I think it came out okay.
The WIP thread for this can be found here: https://blenderartists.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=50636.
C&C welcome.

i know alot of work went into this. and it looks amazing :]
Hilarious.
I do like the slimy look.
Maybe you could show more water coming out of the bowl.
Maybe use the fluids sim.

Wow. Thanks all!
mystery00 - Thanks! I agree though :(. Squids are meant to be free range! Maybe we should run a patition…
rusmannx - Thanks!
mrmunkily - I’m glad you like it. It’s very simple, and all procedural. Here is a pic of the material settings if anyone wants to use it: http://laurifer3d.com/Images/brushed_chrome.jpg.
LohnC - Thanks a lot!
Serialsiner - Thanks! No GI, it was rendered internal. I was thinking about trying this out with Yafray, but I’m too lazy to really learn it, plus I think I would have had to redo a lot of the work in it, like textures and stuff.
vliegtuig - Thanks! You like the slime? Thats great. Maybe its because I’ve been staring at this image that I see it’s every flaw. I always thought there was something… off about the slime. That would have been really cool using the fluid sims for the water splash.
NR43 - Thanks! See my reply to mrmunkily for the material settings.
jimww - Thanks!
