31 Days of Monsters: Day Thirty — Cthulhu

"The Thing cannot be described — there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. A mountain walked or stumbled. God! What wonder that across the earth a great architect went mad, and poor Wilcox raved with fever in that telepathic instant? The Thing of the idols, the green, sticky spawn of the stars, had awaked to claim his own. The stars were right again, and what an age-old cult had failed to do by design, a band of innocent sailors had done by accident. After vigintillions of years great Cthulhu was loose again, and ravening for delight."

A special treat — "The Call of Cthulhu" motion picture. Enjoy.

31 Days of Monsters: Day Seven — A Shallow One

I'm about to head out the door to Trick 'r Tiki, and I realized that I haven't posted today's monster.
I love H.P. Lovecraft, and all of his various creations.  For today's monster, I started to draw a Deep One, one of the fish-human hybrids that swim off the coast of Innsmouth, but he ended up more amusing than terrifying. Putting him in a cheap Fruit-of-the-Looms undershirt and Bermuda shorts, I decided he was from the shallower end of Innsmouth Bay, where the townsfolk were a little too eager to greet their watery kissing-cousins in days gone by. Ew.
