It's a whole new year! 2009, baby! Didn't think humanity would make it this far, did'ja? A few notes: First, I never make any resolutions, as I then feel bad when I break them. However, there are a few things I hope to accomplish this year. Among those things:
1) Hit 180 pounds and stay there for more than, like, three days;
2) At the very least, start work on a new art show;
3) Make significant headway in my gaming backlog (even Dreamcast stuff);
4) Publish something. Something that isn't a coloring book.
Above, for the curious, is a Cthulhu design I've been toying with. Overall, I think the head is too big, but you can definately tell what kind of animal provided the inspiration. I kind of like the elephantine look--it gets away from the octopus/squid vistage that the beast has been stuck with since Call of Cthulhu was published, but work will continue...Oh, by the way, that's the first picture I drew with my Wacom. It's not as bad as I thought it would be! One a final design is imagined, I shall make Cthulhu my first piece of digital art! Wish me luck!

Good luck, sir! But I thought that Cthulhu was always a squiddy octopus-ish fellow? Or are you simply doing your own artist's-representation on the disturbing demigod? Whatever the case, it looks totally badass, and I wish you good fortune with your new Wacom!! Do it to it, sir!
also, the word verification is gluthyph for me. which seems strange. more so than usual.
I really like this one. Go with it!
Well, that's very different to the previous one. Looks a lot like a cephalopod trying to mimic a proboscidean.
(Were you inspired by the "Elephant Squid" that... someone (I want to say Doc Holliday, but am not certain) proposed as an identity for the Loch Ness and similar sea/lake monsters? That looked pretty similar, as i recall... will try to find an online image of it...)
Actually, that's an idea for one of the specworlds with land and/or freshwater cephalopods in...
Without arms and this big tentacles is looks a bit like the C´thulhuoid I sculpted some years ago: http://bestiarium.kryptozoologie.net/artikel/bild-des-tages-c%c2%b4thulhuoid/
