Description
This is a Trade with .*Predator755 wrote me a story for . In exchange, I drew up this almighty mass of tentacular trouble. He'd originally just wanted an armor design that was based on the "killers" from AvP Three World War, but I wound up way, way, way out in left field during the initial drawing phase. Fortunately, he let me get away with it.
So, at long last, I have finished up the coloring on this complicated thing. This took almost as much work as my average book cover owing to the fact that I had to do a LOT of fiddling to get the foreground and background to separate properly. I still think it's hard to read, but it makes more sense than my last attempt to throw a Predator into a pile of tentacled monsters.
This madness brought to you today by ink and Prismacolor pencils. There's a watercolor underpainting, too, but that doesn't show through.

theres something very Cthulu-esque about this, like they're taking on a Shoggoth.
i like it.

Thanks!
Yeah, Cthulhu-critters are always shambling around the cellars of my mind. I'm really surprised that more people haven't thrown Cthulhu and Predators together more often. There's a lot of squishy potential there.

LMAO - Yes, that was more or less what I was thinking when I drew this.
...I really am going to have to do some more with the fallen gods. I need something(s) nasty to dance counterpoint to that eight-armed Setg'in fellow.

Agreed. I had wanted to get back into Predator writing, but I seem to have pretty much lost the desire and creativity to do it. Which makes me sad, because I had a lot of fun doing Pred-a-Writing. At least I have 'The Line' to work on. Which reminds me, have you read that yet?

Predator writing hits me in fits and starts. I try to nab the inspiration when it strikes, since I'm still working on the Void Host story arc. "Humility" became the first of 3 parts for it; I'm still trying to get part 2 to coalesce. Been trying for about a year. Soooo slowwww.
I've not read "The Line" yet. I will do so.

Thank you. I can't just do the expected thing with Predators... I simply *must* have obnoxious colors and mutant creatures as well.
