CTHULHU
The Sleeper has awakened. . . .
I drew my first Cthulhu artwork back in 2013 when I was still studying and exploring digital painting. Hence, most of my 'Cthulhu' back then was hidden and not well defined. I still enjoy my old piece of work, it had lots of atmosphere and mystery behind it. However I wanted to re visit it again to truly capture the Cthulhu I had in my mind back then -- A powerful almighty elder god, a Cthulhu that has just awoken from aeons and aeons of deep slumber...

"In his house at R'lyeh dead Cthulhu waits dreaming."
-Are you guys fans of Cthulhu? When were you first introduced to Him? :D Anyways, I Hope you enjoy this piece my fellow artists :) I'm always trying to improve my work, so any feedback is much appreciated. :D
“The Thing cannot be described - there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled."
― H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
"If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature... "
"... I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings... "
"... but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.” ― H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
