Haha. How much you got? Kidding. I rarely sell my work. Especially this one, which I built because I was mad that I sold a canvas/magicsculpt oil painted version I made years ago.

Love the 3d nature of it and while I typically don't like high-gloss, this really fits as it make it appear the octopus is coming out of the water! Nice!

Hey thanks. Yeah I raaarely use high gloss. I prefer straight oil/wax most of the time. Satin for furniture. Gloss is usually limited to eyeballs. But my ocean-based pieces get the wet look too. :)
