Description Request from

This Iku-Turso looks like something between Cthulhu and Davy Jones.
I tried few sketches with more fishlike appearance but then I thought I've always imagined that Iku-Turso had tentacles.
Lots of tentacles.

Iku Turso is a character of finnish mythology. A some sort of malevolent sea monster. The word "Turso" has ethymological connection to finnish word "tursas" that means octopus.

Iku Turso appears also in Kalevala

This is WIP.

Nice work on his request, it certainly does have an aquatic/menacing appearance.
