Cthulhu

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. - H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu

This was massive!! I cannot believe the endeavor it was to paint this miniature! I am astounded at how it turned out and really proud of it! This was the most I’ve ever used an airbrush, and I have to say I fully intend to use it more after this. The blends, the highlights, shadows, accents, all of it feels amazing to me and I think the Airbrush was the perfect tool to do it. This miniature took approximately 80 hours to complete, starting with the 24 hour live stream in October 2019. It was a pain to fit on my desk, a pain to carry around, but I love my “little” Toddler Cthulhu :D!
