yaaay I like how this one turned out!!! ^^
Cthulhu (other spellings: Kutulu, Cthulu, Kthulhut, Thu Thu, Tulu, and many others) is a fictional entity created by horror author H.P. Lovecraft.
Lovecraft transcribed the pronunciation of Cthulhu as "Khlûl'hloo" or "Kathooloo" S. T. Joshi points out, however, that Lovecraft gave several differing pronunciations on different occasions. . According to Lovecraft, however, this is merely the closest that the human vocal apparatus can come to reproducing the syllables of an alien language.
The most detailed descriptions of Cthulhu in "The Call of Cthulhu" are based on statues of the creature. One, constructed by an artist after a series of baleful dreams, is said to have "yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature.... A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings."

I've never seen Cthulhu drawn with such a jaw like that. I just see him as like a mass of tentacles hiding a mouth thus making him so mysterious. But I just love your take on Cthulhu it's interesting and new to me. :)MedicMan151515 on March 15, 2008, 2:31:21 PM

Fantastic! Takes the usual squid-headed Cthulhu and gives him a certain je ne sais quoi. The visible crocodile-esque mouth really gives him a structure not seen much elsewhere and echoes the dragon-like features mentioned by Lovecraft. Great job!Aqua1 on November 6, 2006, 9:28:34 AM
