This fine mythological beast has been the subject of many an artists renditions, and an internet favorite to say the least.
Now it's your turn to show us how you envision this great Lovecraftian creature.
Cute? Monstrous? Just another dude that loves the beach?
Let your imaginations run wild!

Edit 2: https://steemit.com/art/@kristyglas/lovecraftian-cthulhu The post is done!

I don't have time for a smoother animation, maybe another time :)
Edit: decided no moon :D

Will work on the post of how I made this now ^^ Didn't want to be late :D

That animation is very sufficient

x3 version

Open in new tab for better preview

Maybe better without the moon?

Wow ... at a loss for words.. This is EPIC !

You know what I think of this awesome piece girl. Common, show me the flat one Do eet. Dooo eeet nooaw !! (say this in an Arnold voice)

YES ! this (to me at least) is so much better than the one with bevel&emboss ... it's an awesome design

thank you! I spent a lot of time on it :)

Great job. The depth and layers in the tendrils is what I loved the most.

Thank you :)

Hey Guys! Was really fun doing this theme.
Here's my entry for this week:

Hope you like it!

Cool beans. May I advise you to go smaller next time ? Have the smallest eye build of 2x2 pixels max ! If you start small, you won't get lost on those large surfaces and what to do with them (lots of flat shaded areas right now). Just some friendly advise. awesome entry nonetheless

That's a great advice. Thank you :)
Will keep it in mind next time.
But I'm happy u like it anyway. :D


I am Cthulhu

I just cannot resist these awesome themes .... must resist next time !!

Thanks 😊. Would've been great if I was able to animate the tendrils, but no time this week.

Very cool. The highlights and shading is on point.

This was fun wish I had more than a day to work on it. I can't wait till next weeks.

lol , this was fun animating this ! Cthulu be like " so ?? what do you want kid ?? (blink blink , sniff sniff ) " lol awkward stare.

completely pixel painted from scratch , no reference image , no tracing !
here is a link to my original blog post

oh and also @jonny-clearwater @eqko ....... in context to .... "I always prefer when one of the contest regulars calls bullshit. Gives it that "community" feel." ...... here is a work in progress :
wip-gif.gif
and i have a strong feeling that by putting this comment here i may be shooting myself in the foot for this contest, but agree with it or not , photobashed and photomanipulated pixel art exists , is out there and professional artists use photo-manipulation techniques now at a single pixel level too !!! just sayin' !!! you agree or not , its still pixel art, i may not have done it well myself, but it should be explicitly mentioned in the rules at least , and if its not , then check yo rants !!! of course photo-bashed matte paintings may not be as valuable as real hand-made art , but that also seems to depend from client to client. Its just all about how it looks right ? at least now i hope you know i'm a genuine profile and not here to bullshit anyone anywhere ! ban me from this contest for all i care.

Not shooting yourself in the foot. This entry is great.
Your first entry was neither an original piece of art nor "pixel art" as per the contest description, which includes a link that clearly defines pixel art.
Glad you stuck it out though and turned in a new entry.

ok sure thanks , i understand how it wasn't original because i used that image. but still just saying,
what do you think of this one ?? Photomanip of a 3D modelled spaceship render specifically made for different angles in pixel art !!!
Spaceship pixel art.png

looks like a cool art challenge. Wish I did pixel art. Always wanted to, perhaps I will try it some day in the near future with one of your pixel art themes that I just won't be able to resist. I'll keep a look out on your page.

When it gets down to pixel art, that @kristyglas is straight-up GaNgStA!

Thank you xD
Still doesn't compare to your insanely detailed steemit pixel art train haha :D

Congratulations I'm sure you worked your hardest turn @jonny-clearwater approval
