People have been asking me to draw Cthulhu for years. I always had plans to oblige since I am a H.P. Lovecraft fan, myself.
I just didn't have inspiration to sit down and draw him for now.

So here is the Elder God in all his wickedness.
I tried a slightly different shading technique for him. :)

Tools Used: Photoshop version CS4, Paint Tool Sai
Time Taken: Unrecorded
Soundtrack: n/a

DO NOT copy, alter, repost, etc without the consent of the artist! Character/Image are NOT public domain! Actually... I do believe that Cthulhu... as well as the rest of Lovecraft's ilk /may/ be public domain by this point. It's a bit sketchy.
Please think before you type...
and please read before asking questions. I will no longer be answering questions that can either be answered by simply reading the image's description or by spending 5 seconds to Google the answer.
