Cthulhu portrait, more to come

Post by Brezelburg »

Hi everyone, hopefully this kind of self-advertising in the first post doesn't lead to an immediate ban, but I thought I'd go out and share my work with those who can appreciate it. I'm a painter (among other things), and Lovecraftian motives - especially Cthulhu - keep appearing in my work.

Have a look at my most recent portrait, and feel free to tell me what you think!

Image

("Cthulhu for President", 50x60 cm, mixed media on canvas, 2009)
The camera I took this photo with is not the best one, the original has stronger, darker colors, and those grey, dusty stains in the background are not visible to the naked eye.

I've got some more floating around, so please tell me wether you think this nice site is a place for me to turn to with my stuff!

Best regards from Germany!

Yes, you wont get banned here, since our mods ditched us we have had all manner of spammers post and besides this is hardly advertisement

They're great. I really like the Cthulhu in the suit. Very Kingpin-ish. :)
