Description
Probably the best of my attempts at sculpting; It is based on the small idol that appears in "Call of Cthulhu"

The overal features are based on my own Cthulhu design. Lovecraft - Great Cthulhu/ Spawn of Cthulhu II It's height is ~6.5 centimetes, including the block.

I might actually try painting it. I have never done it before though. So any tutorial on painting miniatures is highly desired and welcome.

"The figure, which was finally passed slowly from man to man for close and careful study, was between seven and eight inches in height, and of exquisitely artistic workmanship. It represented a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopus-like head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. This thing, which seemed instinct with a fearsome and unnatural malignancy, was of a somewhat bloated corpulence, and squatted evilly on a rectangular block or pedestal covered with undecipherable characters. The tips of the wings touched the back edge of the block, the seat occupied the center, whilst the long, curved claws of the doubled-up, crouching hind legs gripped the front edge and extended a quarter of the way clown toward the bottom of the pedestal. The cephalopod head was bent forward, so that the ends of the facial feelers brushed the backs of huge fore paws which clasped the croucher's elevated knees."
