I've been thinking. I really like cross-over art and mash-up art. It just excites me. Especially when it involves Merida from Brave. I just personally think she's an interesting subject to put in an artwork. This time around, I seem to have taken it up a notch. Yes, what you are seeing is true, it is Merida and (the great) Cthulhu.

I read some Lovecraft a few days earlier, 'At The Mountains of Madness' to be precise. I've been in love with Lovecraft's works since I was 17, though I can never put his writings to visual aspects. And that novella (At The Mountains of Madness) was just plain brilliant in a sense. Even brilliant than my other favorites 'The Statement of Randolph Carter' and 'Herbert West : Reanimator'. But there is simply one work of Lovecraft that will forever fuck my head and warp my mind completely, and that is 'The Call of Cthulhu'. Yes, the octopus-headed, giant man-dragon sentient entity, that has forever inspired his own cult following nowadays (even more so than H.P. Lovecraft himself). And by putting Merida in there with him seems like a strange choice, at first, but they both seem to get along anyway.

Why Merida? Like I said earlier, I simply find her an interesting subject to put in any artwork, be it a fan art or a cross-over art. For Merida, I dressed her up as H.P. Lovecraft himself, so it could tie her in with the whole Cthulhu mythos. I wanted to make her Cthulhu's friend rather than a helpless victim. Besides, it looks good now. Well, maybe the big guy's a bit creepy. Hell, I didn't even plan to make him creepy, but sometimes things just doesn't work the way we want them to be. Still, I find this piece to be a nice one, despite it's many little artistic flaws as you can plainly see. Hey, I'm only human. Love it, hate it. You decide.
