Description My take on the Lovecraftian God. I put a lot of hours in this one, so I hope Lovecraft fans will dig this.

This is really great. Definitely amongst my favorites of Cthulhu.

Highly original concept of Cthulhu. I think Lovecraft would have dug it!

Hi. I run a magazine called Surreal Grotesque and for October we are doing a tribute to Lovecraft issue. I love your art and I was wondering if you would let us use some of your pictures for that issue. All credit would remain with you and I could run a small bio. You can see the magazine here: www.surrealgrotesque.com. We are legit and also have a book on Amazon called: Aliens, Sex and Sociopaths. Unfortunately I can’t pay for art right now, all I can offer is exposure, we do have over 1000 fans on Facebook. Thank you for your time. Let me know what you think or email me at Surrealgrotesque77@hotmail.com.

Well, since you are legit, I'm willing to consider it... I assume you are interested in using the Cthulhu picture above?

Love C's fingernails, but wouldn't want to polish them for him. Something tells me he be a difficult client and he be picky about the color he'd selected, even though I think turquise would go good with all that green! Terrific representation of the Old boy, best I ever saw! RJTRinket

Haha, thanks but it's kinda lame, I didn't really know how much about lighting back then. Not that I know a whole lot now, but enough to see the holes here.

He's adorable I don't know much about Cthulhu, but what I've seen of people's images of him I can tell that he can be cute, ugly or cool, but I will still be a little frightened by him because - I love all animals (and he has a squid head), also those who live in the oceans, but I am really afraid of water, especially deep oceans!

Just got shivers, imagining how big this thing is. I especially love the hands and claws, what a nice touch. The colors are amazing as well.

Raybucho [2012-03-02 00:47:18 +0000 UTC]

What i like about this piece compared to other art of Cthulhu is the way he is interacting with his surroundings and humanity. the way you depict the dragging claws and the tide washing around him, it brings the surreal creature into a very real and very easily imagined setting. I can see this as any of the beaches in New Jersey i frequent over the summer on an overcast day, and seeing the deep cuts in the sand and kind of mulling over it curiously.
