"With only a slight churning to mark its rise to the surface, the thing slid into view above the dark waters. Vast, Polythemus-like, and loathsome, it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith, about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms, the while it bowed its hideous head and gave vent to certain measured sounds." 

Another tribute to H.P.Lovecraft.  It's not all like in the book - the weather isn't right and the pose and surroundings.., but anyway i like it a little - so let it be. :D

I even remembered some sketches i've done for this theme in 2008 :))
