My critique is that it doesn't appear to be either underwater or out of it. If it was underwater (methinks) it would be a bubbly mess. If it was out of water, there would be lots of foam with all the movement generated by the kraken plus the waves.

I think you could go a lot further with the crushing effect, and at the same time give the piece more visual impact with some 'action'.

Here's a little demo of what I mean:


The wood should probably be breaking outwards more, and the tentacle should probably be 'tighter', more constricting and forceful.

I like this. I don't have much critique at this point, except at first I didn't recognize the large mass on the left, I thought it was the ground. Maybe make the eye bulge out a bit more so it's more recognizable.

Yeah I think what Dr D said is what bothers me, it just looks like there is clean slice/cut through the boat.
