body extension again

I have a proposal and maquette for a body extension due in a few hours and I have been sketching and thinking for several days about it and I know I want it to be tentacular but that's it. I thought I wanted a pair of back tentacles, then a stomach explosion of tentacles, and now after examining google I want to try to make a collar of them where they all extend left.

anyway the ninth page of my search had something I made.

and that calmed me down, like: okay, I have made a lot of tentacled things. I can probably make another.
