About this model

Absolutely love your ball-joint design but felt the octo head was just a bit too simplistic. Plus my unit's mascot is the Devilfish, so I remodeled it in zbrush to better fit our logo. Update: Changed the iris direction, didn't like the vertical design so I made it horizontal to match the original as well as many of the depictions of octopi that we see. Also made the bridge between eyes a little narrower.
