"Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn. (In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming.)" — HP Lovecraft - The Call of Cthulhu
The final HPL pic for this Halloween season , and of course I had to end it with the Great Old One himself, Cthulhu!
I really wanted to only do a vague outline of him, since everyone at this point knows what he looks like, so I wanted to change it up a bit, and I think it worked pretty well. Remember, if you've read the novel, to know more about or to even look on Cthulhu, is to go MAD! Same goes for R'lyeh in the background.
It's really been a fun project to do, not only doing monsters from things that I like, but trying out new ways of shading and to set a mood for the illustration.
Its been a great time for me, and hopefully it's been the same for all of you too, and maybe give you something scary to read.
Thank you all again for the support! And remember...
"That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even death may die."
>:D Happy Halloween

Deciding to go with an outline for Cthulhu was a good call, it really makes him all the more imposing in this picture. Having R'lyeh in the background also really helps the picture as well as without it there'd be bit too much empty space if you ask me.

Some monsters are at their scariest when you only see a little of them.
