So I was scrolling through tumblr today and I came across a post linking to this tweet. It’s a video of a truly adorable little umbrella octopus with little ear-like flaps on top of it’s head. I think it’s called a Dumbo Octopus. Anyway, I was inspired to draw it.
So, this was originally a Inktober piece and was done in just a couple of hours. I drew him as a black lab puppy. But, that decision has bugged me because Cerberus is supposed to mean spotted. Which I knew, but didn’t think of it at the time. I really should have made him a dalmatian or other spotted breed. So, today I had reason to go back to this image and so, while I was there, I decided to fix it.
So, here’s Cerberus, the spotted three-headed hound of Hades.
