Description I made this for our event over at Pixelbrush (Myths). I made this more as a drawing, rather than painting, and it was fun not messing around with colours, or tiny details for once.

This is Cthulhu himself. As I'm a big Call of Cthulhu buff, and never got the chance to paint the dude yet, I gave this a go, just for fun.

You can see the progress steps in my event-topic here: [link]

Made using Photoshop CS2, and a Wacom Intuos tablet.

You did a really good job here at conveying a sense of superior intellegence.

your really get the feeling that you are looking at something vastly greater than yourself, recently awoken, and greedy to take his due.

Props.

Oh man, what a lovely result! I like how you got the contrast on it, the sketchy feel... And the power you gave Cthulhu.. mmm. Hard not to draw something that lies tight to your interest?

surthur In reply to ??? [2008-05-23 03:16:37 +0000 UTC]

sure. no fine detailing there. the boat. naaaah. the little stones. naaaah. the ingenious water... no definitely no fine detailing. lol.

what r u. a cintiq user ? braggin 4 fun ? great ? *laughs* now I feel like my buddies who dont believe me when I say "hey its just a sketch , nothing more" really neat piece !!!!

and btw I like the compositon His tentacles translate a really grim and aggresive joy of destroying, with fun at his doings.

This is really cool! And of favorite little deary too! Hmm... maybe I should run now?
It's really great! For some reason I really love the water splash there and the pretty little boat. Not detailed eh? I think you're mad! *lol*
He's really really big!! Love it!

henning In reply to YikYik [2008-05-22 23:28:30 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot, appreciate it :-D
I guess he should have been even bigger, according to the story, but I made him this size, for compositional reasons :-P

YikYik In reply to henning [2008-05-23 12:36:21 +0000 UTC]

Welcome!
I think it's hard to get at exactly which size he's supposed to be. In my unfinished drawing he's much smaller (too small)! How big's the boat that runs over his head? It's really great anyway! And quite close to how big he's supposed to be in my imagining!

Those Elder signs is pretty hard to get, so I'm guessing they are pretty much screwed :-D
