Wow thanks! I didn’t know that. I was standing up and I put my arm out. I was thinking, “Well I can put my arm in the same position as my model.” Then, I was look at your reference some more and I put my elbow in the same spot and I pronated and supinated, with my upper arm perpendicular to the floor and I couldn’t do what my sculpt was doing. Thank you for the feedback and the image, I will fix it and I learned some new 
Here’s some work from a few years ago, forgot to post it up/ was under NDA and forgot it after the game came out. I worked on Saint row, gat out of hell. as an Environment artist. this was one of the things I did on the project (great People at HVS) 
this was extra (kraken) at the end of the day and when we we’re getting closer to the ship date we needed more texture space and geo in that area of the game for frame rate and other issues. so this kept getting cut, and cut and cut down. This was extra work I did, wasn’t budget in the project. (kraken) but we thought it would be cooler than just a rock 
here’s some tests I did, few sculpt to get it low for the game and here’s the final. not as pretty as it was on day one but still happy it made it into the game
good work!
Really cool looking pirate ship scene!
cool work on the tentacles mate
