Big Honkin' Cthulhu (Now with More Tentacles)

[JenGoPop]

I just spent the past couple months making this Cthulhu for my husband.  I made up the pattern pretty much as I went along, stuffed it with polyfil, and buried a cloth-stuffed paper towel tube inside for support.  The eyes are some very old coat buttons my grandma gave me (rest her soul . . . if she only knew what I did with them . . .  )  The wings have craft wire worked into the edges so they stand up fairly well.  My husby's pretty pleased with how it turned out! 

What do you all think? 




Edited to add:     Wow!  I am so overwhelmed by the response to this . . . thank you, everybody!   

To answer a few questions:

May I ask if you'd consider doing any others and what you might charge to commision one? Or was this just a one-off piece you did? 
It's a one-off.  The time involved would make it absurdly expensive to make and sell more . . . but who knows, I might change my mind at some point.

Is that a little label of your name on his foot?  It's cute--how'd you get it?

Photoshop.    Though I am considering embroidering a real one, somehow.

That is INCREDIBLE! I love Cthulhu... and he looks so huge and huggable. 

You rock so hard it hurts!

That is so cool! Must say though, I don't know what a 'Cthulhu' is (but I'll find out!) -- I thought it was an Ood!

Now all he needs is a phone, so he can make...Crank Calls of Cthulhu! Just kidding - he's perfect the way he is! I love him!

I'm not sure what is says about me that I can spell Cthulhu from memory...

This totally rocks... I especially love the way you did the eyes.
Oh, and "Now with more Tentacles!" is my new favorite phrase.
