I like it. Excellent gradiation of colour with a limited palette, and an interesting composition.
thanks :)
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!
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.
cthuhlu has sea weed for tentacles,apparently.
Im horrible at water colors,though.
and hey--world could always use more cthuhlu!
I agree on the joint between tentacles and head--it could be smoother.
But otherwise, it's seriously pretty awesome. 8)
Lol, the tentacles do look like seaweed :lol:
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.

Good point.

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)
i love that!

salt?
me or CT? and why?
i did draw a "cartoon for people with a hangover" once, to which i applied coffee and sugar, something i expected people to appreciate when hungover. the cartoon itself features a cartoon EXPLOSION which is something i specifically enjoy when entertaining myself with a hangover:
