I actually did this as a warm-up for two other drawings, but they won't be finished anytime soon - one of them is a rather complex piece with lots of details, and the other has to be as majestic as possible.Β

Cthulhu *is* a priest, after all, so a meditative posture is perfectly sensible.

And I totally misremembered where I read that Cthulhu was a priest. Thought it was in the passage of the Necronomicon quoted in "The Dunwich Horror" but actually it's a throwaway mention in "The Call of Cthulhu". But it's only in "The Dunwich Horror" where we get the sense that Cthulhu is only a lesser or subservient being to powers even greater than he, powers that "he can spy only dimly" himself.

No, I meant I forgot that he would totally be like more 'spiritual'. And speaking of his priesthood, I've always found that idea terribly fascinating with all its implications.Β

I can't really say anythign else besides "i really like this"... well, I could but it would be a long spiel about contrasting Cthulhu's usual habbit of crazy-making with the serene calm of meditation.
In short, I like the art and I like the thoughts of contrast.

Sothoth is time. Sothoth is space. Sothoth is life.

You will not be punished for worshiping Cthulhu, you will be punished by worshiping Cthulhu.
(Sorry, can't think of anything else. But Buddhism has some very lovely teachings, no?)

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides. Β And with strange aeons that line will break.
(Indeed!)

I think my most favorite quote from Buddha is "As rain breaks through an ill-thatched house, passion will break through an unreflecting mind."

And that's how Cthulhu started his deep slumber in the first place.

(Old comment is incredibly, inedibly old. Please forgive me)
I recall hearing about some story of extended meditaion. Bodhidharma, the bringer of Zen Buddhism to China and Japan, apparently spent nine years in his wall-staring meditation. He spent so long meditating, his arms and legs fell off.

Well, he knows about peace to be sure, sleeping the days away.
