Mother Hydra - Cthulhu Mythos art

As some of you know I have been working on a collection of drawings dedicated to the Cthulhu Mythos. These drawings will eventually become paintings, and I have plans to create something very fun with them. I will announce what that will be closer to the time I launch a Kickstarter campaign to fund the project.

This week's drawing is Mother Hydra. This character is the mother of all Deep Ones, and mate of Dagon. She and Dagon are both described as being just really old Deep Ones that continued to grow and mutate. So she may not be winning any beauty pageants, but there are advantages to being one of the meanest things in the sea and having thousands of minions.

I wanted to take a different approach from the usual creature with many heads (hydra) or giant Deep One. I hope that you enjoy this sketch in progress. Anyone interested in purchasing the sketch or the painting when it is finished, just let me know!
