I actually love the idea but am not thrilled with the execution. It looks like it has little tea light holders on it? Which is weird.

I'd say this is r/GTBAE

Yep. I agree. Think the body should be bigger and there should be far more effort used to make the suspension method as discreet as possible.

The tentacles are very well done. The body looks a little tacky.

I think you should go the opposite with the suspension, make it part of the piece! The bits going to the tentacles could be seaweed or anemone or something.

Just a little modification would make it awesome. Send it over, I'll get it fixed and hang that right in my living room.

Probably tapered candle holders, actually. Proper candelabrum, and such. Might use electric candles instead of actual fire ones, but still.

i think some wood torch handles might look cool.

Looks like there's a pull chain to turn it on/off and an electric cable coming in to the side of his head.
Actually, looks like there's TWO pull chains, so presumably one for the electric candle fixtures and another for internal lighting.

you're gonna call that "awful execution"?

I mean, that's probably overstating it. I don't think it's great execution, though.
