    it does make an interesting composition, though the idea of that girl running away like that from a tiny crab, has merits as well. in a more comical fashion. ;D

    hahaha that, too, is true, and I did actually consider that :D

    however when I did the thumbnails my teacher and I preferred the compostions of the octopus over the crab and as an overall piece having four images the other three had more of a “serious” quality to them and I was partial to keeping them looking like all four belonged in the same series

    I even changed the starfish to look more like a real shiny shiny desu star but shhhh no one needs to know that xD

    children’s book illustrations are so difficult to make. really love the lines. but isn’t a thing that crawls sideways and blows bubbles a crab? xD

    why yes! it is in fact, a crab! :D 

    I just personally decided that an octopus could also be considered loosely along the same lines and make an overall better composition (and honestly I think it looks a little less scary for a children’s book)
