CthulhuThis is a 4cm x 4cm ink drawing of Cthulhu, a Great Old One, from the tales of H.P. Lovecraft, a prominent American horror writer of the 1930s.
I used a 2B pencil to draw the outline and I used Artline and Faber-Castell pigment ink pens after.
Cthulhu is not technically a monster. It is an old alien God which is beyond the comprehension of humans. Yet, insane cultists worship it.

ReplyDeletethis is a great drawing Chaung! HP Lovecraft. Didn't he write Necronomicon? I remember having that book and ended up giving it to someone who was just begining his devil worship hobbies. :)
