Comment on Life Size Cthulhu (well, almost)

Hello Matt!

A photo for scale is most certainly in the works. When this is finished (expected in the not-so-distant future), I will have a skilled friend take a nice photo of it in hopes that I can release a print of it. Then, I will hand deliver the art to the kind soul that commissioned the painting, and I hope to get a photo of the two of us with the artwork.

Wow, I really look forward to seeing that finished. You need to photograph it from a bit of a distance so you can get an idea of scale.

Rock on Paul.

I'm happy to share the various steps that I guess I've taken for granted for some time. Not that I am not having a lot of fun with it, mind you.

Heh- sorry about not being complete with all of the views until now... I guess it's a nice surprise.

GAH! 'e's 'uge. ;) Love the pot-belly. Sorry I've got nothing constructive to say, but I love the initial sketch, and I'm completely confounded by how you get from a blank canvas to the end results that you do. So I really have to say thanks for sharing those intermediate steps.
And oh yeah, do I need to say it? ... Love the sky.
Cheers!

Nice! This is the first view of the back of his head I've seen and it's a great little piece of work, Paul. It really adds to the alien factor as well as the creepy quotient.
Good luck with squidhead's bath.

Oh wow!

I can't wait to see the final casted version. Best of luck in your mold making!

Hello Hellric,

Yes, what you see on his (it's) back are in fact the tops of folded wings. As for legs... well, there aren't any visible on this sculpture (though the story suggests Cthulhu does has them), so it it perhaps best to leave that detail up you everyone's imagination.

Great work ! I love the overal look of it. Just 2 questions : are the wings folded in its back and does he have feet (not sure of what I see, sorry for those stupid questions ;) ) ?
