Cthulhu fhtagn no more IIby ~Samize

Digital Art / Mixed Media / Macabre & Horror

This is an alternate version for this one:
[link]

I tried to portray Cthulhu not as a creature, but as the vessel of some awesome cosmic entity.

I tried to capture the Dunsanian mystic atmosphere of "Dreamquest of Unknown Kadath" mixed with the objective view of "At The Mountains of Madness."

" ...a gigantic thing "miles high" which walked or lumbered about."

It can´t be merely a creature of flesh and bone, but Something alien that extends to more than one reality, and which draws its power from some distant cosmic source.
Like what a 2-dimensional creature living in a 2-dimensional world would see if we sticked our 3-dimensional finger into their world.

" ...the mountainous monstrosity flopped down the slimy stones and hesitated, floundering at the edge of the water."
" ...great Cthulhu slid greasily into the water and began to pursue with vast wave-raising strokes of cosmic potency."

It seems like a gigantic mass gliding about, like an overgrown Shoggoth.

I prefer this cosmic horror better than the hairless King Kong with the octupus head.

Yes, Cosmic Horror is the only description for this nighmare, superbly done towering in the background over the normal-sized deep ones, (which are themselves scary enough).

Astounding and very epic, even for Ctulchu.

Lovecraftian perfection!

Awesome.

Your perception of cthulhu is not far off from lovecraft's. The elder gods in this dimension are composed of "vitreous humors" held together by the will of the elder gods, who resided outside of space and time.

That strikes me a pretty awesome, a being so powerful they can drastically change reality on a whim.

perfectly captured Lovecraft's works atmosphere. Pure epicness.
