First attempt at watercolors

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

i say C-
needs improvement:

[Payne]

I like it. Excellent gradiation of colour with a limited palette, and an interesting composition.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

thanks

[Triple Zero]

how did you do the black inking? before or after the colouring?

as for critique: the transition between the head and the tentacles could have been a bit better, IMO. they don't seem really "attached" to me.

otherwise i agree with Payne, looks very nice!

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

i kinda just threw down some color in the shape-(ish) that i wanted and used a fine tipped marker for the detail after it dried. totally agree about the tentacles, can work on that.

Hey, I really like it, but then I'm a terrible critique.

Grats on a job well done.

[Frenzied Destruction]

cthuhlu has sea weed for tentacles,apparently.
Im horrible at water colors,though.
and hey--world could always use more cthuhlu!

[Darth Cupcake]

I agree on the joint between tentacles and head--it could be smoother.

But otherwise, it's seriously pretty awesome.

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

Lol, the tentacles do look like seaweed 

[Darth Cupcake]

As an addendum, I just wanna say that the wings are fucking bad ass, as is the background. The effect you did on them is my favorite part.

This is really nice. kinda reminds me of the king crimson album cover for some strange reason.
also best picture of cthulu I have seen in years.
bonus points for not depicting him having sex with something.

bonus points for not depicting him having sex with something.

Good point.

[Triple Zero]

this is mine. from a few years ago. it's done in pen/marker and i blurred it with some strategically applied water here and there.

could also have been beer, maybe. because i may or may not have been sitting at a bar when i drew this.

and i know Cthulhu doesn't actually have laws like that, but he was also half-inspired by dr Zoidberg (as you can see)

[Sir Squid Diddimus]

i love that!
