Thanks! They're called suckers or suction cups, as far as I know (English is not my native language.)
The uniformity that I've achieved here, I feel is especially a product of practice. It's done by hand, it takes some carefulness. I've been sculpting octopus regularly since 2017. Eventually you get a feel for the material and how to handle it. I love the result and the look of this pain-staking method, it does test my patience but it is worth it to me.
The bright and vibrant colors of this species are so beautiful, they're also a warning sign. The blue-ringed octopus is possibly the most venomous octopus in the seas but fortunately they're rather docile!
Thank you so much for your kind comment, I'm glad you enjoyed this artwork.
