Wonderful modeling, lighting, and composition. This guy certainly is a luminary who's found his depth. Well done!

Great model, imaginative scene (like being transported under the sea!), nicely rendered, perfect light rig. Bravo.

Dude, I totally missed this!!! This is great. What was your basic technique, especially regarding the suckers? Nice work.

To make the suckers I just selected all the polys on the undersides of the legs and use the tesselate tool to create some more, then used dynamic extrusion to form the suckers.
