Description
Cthulhu Free from R'lhey and about to unleash several varieties of DOOM upon the human race.Started as a very quick 6X6cm thumbnail, I scanned this with the intention of messing with the composition. suddenly i blinked, it was 3 days later and the image was complete.
Yes I know the anatomy is horrid even for a Great Old One and I certainlky could have pushed the values more. Atill it was an excellent learning experience and the next piece will be better...onward and upwards!...or down into madness if you prefer!
cthulhu is the creation of HP lovecraft or whom ever handles his estate now, read his work its awsome.
Update 22/02/10
well two and a bit years later and this is looking really dated now, that anatomy is well retarded and the colours look really pastely and washed out. still like it though and i've learned a lot since then.

I have to say that the head makes me want to plunge into unspeakable madness and take a bullet to the head. I like the whole image but that head O_o its freakin evil! the details on the tentacles is astonishing.
The only thing that bugs me is the mood in the environment, I feel like it needs to be gloomy and unnatural but thats just me, either way its still great and better then anything I could do so far. keep it up man and take care.

I'm totally missing out, I have a Lovecraft book kicking around here somewheres but I have so many University text book readings to get through that I haven't had time to do any leisure reading. Oh well, someday.

Amazing job! You've kept faithful to Lovecraft's description of The Great Old One - the overall humanoid shape, the tentacled head, the eyes, the wings... It's a brilliant depiction, really, with the only teeny observation that perhaps the scene should be darker
