Yep, this. Very cool effect. How did you build up the water effects like that? Is there a piece of hair or something in the middle of all of that?

Wow! Second that. It would never have occurred to me to do that. Very cool. Those droplets look really nice too. I have had some unpredictable results with the acrylic gloss varnish as well. Especially in larger applications. Maybe sealing first would help? My pot is of undetermined vintage so that could be a factor.

Those water effects are incredibly realistic. I have to ask how have you done them ? I cam imagine it's a very slow process waiting for each application to cure.

Bright and contrasty with muted pink and flashy greens, wet effect, splashes and texturing, just everything is so well thought and planned you can feel the future work of the completed piece just by looking at some fragments of it! Just amazing! For the community thank you for sharing!

Thanks for your comments! To be honest I wasn't 100% sure about the tentacle at first but it came together in the end once the water effects did what I wanted them to.
I'll put together a step-by-step for the water when I do the base. It's just another variation on the slime and drips technique. The core of it is a slither of clear blister plastic that has been pulled and warped over heat to create a sinuous shape. That is then built up with water effects & clear microbeads. The stray droplets are supported on invisible (it's not really) mending thread.

If it's invisible, however did you find it? 
Would that be similar to low test fishing line? Thanks in advance for the future SBS.

With great difficulty! For every length I cut off and use use there are several more lost somewhere on my desk.If it's invisible, however did you find it?
Its a fine clear nylon thread so I would think it's very similar. Fishing line would also do the job very well.

Trap one end under masking tape before you cut, works for me.
Not always, Q.E.D.Sometimes wisdom actually comes with age

That was a "fix" after losing ultra fine beading thread and finding it Sharp end up stuck in the carpet, barefoot!
Naughty Michael words spoken then.

I shall employ this method from here onwards. Common sense really ...... I remember that!

Time for an update on Gutrot Spume. I've started painting his lower half and I'm making pretty good progress. Not 100% sure about the orange I've used for the rust. I'll probably knock it back with some more washes but I need to see it against the finished blue/green armour first.
