Cthulhu Wizard in progress, part II
Just a quick update of the painting's development:
This is just a photo, not a proper scan, but it ought to give you an idea of the progress. I am still roughing out a lot of the basic shapes and filling them with colors/tones that help me see where the image is going as a whole.
Thanks for viewing!

Fantastic Paul, the contrast in realities is very locraftesque. How big is the painting? Is it on canvass? I particularly like the eye that blurs into the other dimension.

Thanks, Carnal!
The painting is 12 x 16" acrylic on masonite (a thin composite board, about 1/8" thick). I'm really enjoying myself with this one, the surreal nature is quite fun to play with.

Paul-
I'm *so* glad to see you doing cover work again. I think you should make the Cthulhu look just like *your* Cthulhu, but I suppose you're too modest to pull that.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for the comments! That's a great idea about the statue. I think I went in this direction because I wanted it to be easily recognized as what it is (a cousin of the one from The Call of Cthulhu??) My own statue isn't directly based on the one in the story, it's even just bordering on an idol, in many ways.
