Description
I am not the greatest at sculpting or molding clay, but I've always wanted to make a Statue of Great Cthulhu from HP Lovecraft's Weird Horror Stories and Mythos.I rather like how it turned out, although it looks more cute than terror-inflicting. Still satisfied with it anyway. Once it's cooked I will try and give it a completing bronze or stone paint job

I think this little guy's really cool. Nice and clean. Looks like a trinket you mind find in a tomb or an old temple.

Thank you! Means something coming from you, I found your collection of Cthulhu Idols very inspirational
I just don't have the experience in modelling to make something more detailed.
Thanks for the kind words!

You're quite welcome, glad my descent into Cthulhu-induced madness can be inspirational ;D
Actually, after spending years making uber-insanely-highly detailed models, and then starting to experiment with more simplified forms, I find simplified stuff can be just as challenging--and require similar amounts of patience. Lots of surface detail can cover up imperfections that are glaringly obvious on a smooth surface.

You may not think you're the greatest but no worries, this is a very nice work indeed! I would go with a stone finish, maybe even a marble one since the smooth surfaces just scream something handmade by an ancient culture.
Two thumbs up.
And you were featured on Propnomicon in case you didn't know.

I'll definitely be giving it some sort of stone finish by the time I've cooked it in the kiln 
Oh wow really? I love that site! I get heaps of inspiration from there, very flattered

Nice and simple. And photographed nicely, as well.

I like it too. Echos of Whitley Strieber alien mixed in with Cthulhu add a touch of alieness that works well.
