Commission completed for the upcoming Motor City Con.

Confession - I've never read a word of Lovecraft, and don't know a thing about Cthulhu (even though I have illustrated a comics story for BOOM Studios' Cthulhu anthology). But I have a "vibe," and a general handle for it, so I just went crazy.

11x15", ink on watercolor paper.

Dude, I will be vending at The Cthulhu Con in San Pedro this year with some new Lovecraftian goods. I'll post em when they're done. :)
That said,the perspective here is nice-like the birds!
And hey, if ya wanna have some fun, say 'Cthulhu' with a heavy southern accent. :)

I simply cannot wait to see your take on the Lovecraft universe...

I really liked the birds too! Nobody ever mentions them, but I thought it went a long way towards giving the whole thing some epic scale.

I agree-the birds help convey the scale, but also provide wonderful atmosphere. :)
As a laugh, I'd considered doing a real throw-together comic strip with 'things you didn't know Cuthulhu does', with him trimming his toenails,doing taxes and complaining his fast food order is all wrong.
But that's neither here nor there-nifty picture Andy. :)

You should give Lovecraft a go... his work is like no other! And this is a great rendition of Cthulhu!
