Cult from the Sea

Emerging from the sea, great Cthulhu summons his followers to do his bidding.

Rough Sketch

The Original concept had Cthulhu’s followers going back to the sea, but I decided it would be more ominous if they were walking towards the camera from the sea.

Tight Sketch

I wanted to make sure that the people emerging from the ocean felt a little off-center and unorganized to make the viewer uncomfortable and slightly confused.

Final Piece

This piece was inspired by Simon Stalenhag’s art, with the way he’s able to capture a mood through his atmosphere.
