Baby's got a new set of Cthulhu wheels. (Chthulhu; Chthulu... however you spell it's name.)

Did this one as a bday present for Mr. Tokunaga. Color treatment partly inspired by Robert Williams (part of the Ratfink/Big Daddy Roth crowd).

~ Viking Fraulein ~

Did this one quite awhile back actually. Has been hanging on the wall waiting to be scanned.

She's enjoying the ocean air, musing over what hair color her future children will have (blond, dirty blond, bleach blond).... and, awaiting patiently to pillage and burn English shorelines.

Alot of inspiration from the Oseberg Ship: The creature on the upper right was loosely based on the prow figurehead , the background patterns were inspired by carvings on the bow.
