Here Comes Yog-Sothoth...

For those tired of the traditional carols by now, my annual posting of Cthulu Carols!!!
The Carol of the Old Ones remains my favourite, although 'Tentacles' to the tune of 'Jingle Bells' is a close second.

And on the 9th Day before Christmas, Auntie Icka gave to me:


from 'Taste of Flames'

Thanks to lferion for picking today's picture when I was spazzing about the size of my unposted backlog. ^^;;

I think his face looks odd because he's got a longer distance from his nose to his chin than I usually draw him with. And yeah, the chin is a little bit more squared off than usual.

The hardest part I find with pencils is keeping the nice shading when I get it into the computer. The scanner hates pencils with a passion and the camera will occasionally do funky things with the shading and gradients.

... am also annoyed because I misplaced the pencils I use for shading, so I have some art that is half-way done, just waiting for the rest of the shading. (including one odd one from the chapter after Taste of Flames, where the background is done, but none of the characters)

Thanks! Tentacles are both fun and a pain to draw. The swirls.... *purrs*
