I can picture the real deal done in a green version of the glaze on squid's new skull bowl. I think it gives the whole painting a little more emphasis towards the mysterious rather than just tiki. With the cthulhu in the background too and now the mug, it makes you wonder who is really pulling the strings in the pic? No need to compromise your art in favour of "what might sell" - just go with your instinct. Any mug you designed would be a hot seller regardless and besides, we've all got plenty of "just tiki" mugs - but who has a squid-faced Elder God tiki mug?
