I really like that you foud it cute Indeed, my intent was to make the serpent look somewhat confused and cautious, rather than threatening, so the scene looked a little bit comical.

Heh heh. Β As a fan of dragons as well as Lovecraft, I really like your variation on this theme. Β I also love the way you rendered those rocks. Β The textures and shading are lovely.

Thanks! The serpent isn't very Lovecraftian as in 'grotesque' but I bet he's menacing and scary enaugh for sailor legends. The rocks took quite a while to draw.

Well, that's polite, he seems to be knocking, or tapping the window.

Thanks! I really liked that story, "The Strange High House...", so I decided to pay some tribute. It's not in line with Lovecraft's general sci-fi/horror style but rather is a philosophical tale.

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "Peeping Tom" .Β

Huh. He doesn't peep though. He's a polite sea serpent))

There's so much that's so great about this drawing. Β  The seaserpent's curvy lines and sheen scales.. its muscle tone, and intense expression. Β The rockface has such amazing depth, your shadows are superb. Β I really love this piece!!Β

This is quite good.

Perhaps this is a friendly neighbour come to return some lost fishing tackle.. Β 
..or perhaps a polite word about waste management.Β

Lol. The keeper of mysterious legends of past eons, the permanent inhabitant of this house is not a simple man, too. So they definitely have common themes.

The rock face has a lot of depth.

The sea creature looks very nice, love the shine in its scales.Β 

I also like the foam effect you've achieved in the waves striking the rock.Β

It's not quite as I intended it to be but I'm glad you like it. This one is more of a concept sheet for the sea serpent (maybe it's Dagon himself or so). I wasn't able to handle the mist and the perspective should have been up-to-down (to show the menacing height of the cliff from the house's entrance). So I'll do another version some time.

I'm not a fan of Lovecrafts' work, so wasn't sure who or what the creature is.

When I said Nice, I meant well drawn. Β Β

Ah, I get it. Lovecraft's a classic in sci-fi-horror but his style isn't for everyone.
