Splinterlands Art Contest Week 207: Cthulhu

My submission for this week's Splinterlands Art Contest!

Image turned out a bit darker than I thought it was. I think when I was painting it I had my screen brightness turned up to maximum (which I only do when I'm watching movies on my Surface). Forgot to change it back, so final painting is dark But that's okay, Cthulhu is supposed to be spooky.

From the Splinterlands Wiki:

Through all of his years of searching under the oceans of the Splinterlands, Jyitu Burudo knew that something was calling to him, something huge and powerful from somewhere within the yawning depths. When he discovered the lost underwater Mana well and the mystical cubes now known as ΛZMΛRÉ Dice, he could not even guess that there were monster essences within each one. Even once he learned the true secret of the dice, Burudo was infinitely humbled to learn that the great god of his people, Cthulhu himself, would reveal himself to the Splinterlands through these relics.

With eyes that can pierce through time itself, Cthulhu has watched, waiting patiently for this moment. He has been trapped in a great and consuming prison of shadow, unable to protect his Kulu people as they were all but destroyed by Chaos. But thanks to the unlikely discovery of the one brave explorer who heard Cthulhu’s call, the great Kulu god will finally make his entrance to the Splinterlands.
