Description
I wanted to revisit the Great Old One, incorporating the improvements I've made to my techniques over the past couple of years. I also wanted to push some of the design elements I'd put into my previous drawings of Cthulhu a little further. It seems to me that the design of the Sleeper of R'lyeh is often too anthropomorphised; just because there is a generally humanoid body plan doesn't mean things like the face have to be too human, after all. I tried to think of details Lovecraft (who had an amateur interest in science) might have incorporated if he had been aware of more recent discoveries about deep sea life.
