I am not really that fit right now, so all my many duties are not being fulfilled. Instead I have given myself some time off - So today I'll only be posting some old digital drawings.
This post will be two Krakens... the monster that I had in an ornament in my last post.
The Kraken is a legendary sea-monster described by the Danish-Norwegian Bishop of Bergen, Erik Pontoppidan, from whom we have inherited a lot of the crazy imagination surrounding the creature.
It was also used (as you will be able to read in my previous post) by the Victorian poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson, and it was from his poem that the legendary pulp-writer H.P.Lovecraft got the idea for his monster: Cthulhu.
As @cryptogee noticed in the comments to my last post, there is a cryptocoin exchange in San Fransisco that is named after the Kraken. Funny to have an exchange named after a gruesome monster, but I guess that ist show how little fear we have of nature in these times. I have not tried it yet, but if I am to be a crypto-investor I better try out the different possibilities.
I have also written a story to a kind of e-mail roleplaying game where the Kraken plays an important part. I might post here on Steemit, but it does need a look over before I do - and as stated above I am a bit unable to do much today.
Both my own drawings are creative commons, and can be used under the license CC-by.
Tentacle love. Might have to draw some again soon. Take it easy :)
Yes, nothing like tentacles...

Your last picture is quite unusual and cool vision of Kraken. I liked it!
Yes, it was meant to be used with the story. I like it myself :)
You killed me with that digital pencil sketch!
I hope I didn't kill you too much, and that you have checked out the high res. version - it's up for grabs.
I'm still alive, I just love pencil drawings! Checking it out now.
I kind of suspected that you were fond of pencil :)
I'm pretty easy to read.
:)
Get well soon.
Thanks @ocrdu - doing my best :)
i like the drink. the drink is good. it makes me feel like a pirate.
I had to look that one up... :)
I have been to sea... but in the North Atlantic so I prefer Whiskey :)
i'm down with either, i love me some blackbush/bushmills whisky :) it's the irish in me! :)
Well, me to actually - I'm down with whatever as long as it is real spirit without added sugar like soda or what they put in cocktails. I like to drink it all. I am actually a bit tempted by the Kraken logo - but I already have a bottle of rum that I got as a gift, and I only drink little these days as I have had a bad infection. But soon.... HAHAHAHAHA
trust me. you'll like the kraken, even if it's just a little nightcap. it's a beauty.
Well, as soon as I am able I will visit a liquor store to find it. I really like the artwork, and I take your word for the rest :)
Interesting content, 100% upvoted @chanthasam
Thanks.
initially i thought it was the exchange platform kraken until i actually saw a kraken drawing lol, awesome artwork my friend
Thanks, my way into crypto-coin is art, but I am learning... :)
Nice! I really like your 2 Kraken illustrations.
I have a friend who has a Games store that shares the same space where I have my studio. He creates role-playing games under the Black Goat Games. He has this idea for a Lovecraft Cthulhu Cyberpunk game that he wants me to illustrate. One day if I can find the time.
Sounds cool - your eighties obsession might fit in very well with that :)
If you want, you can donate a artwork for the Auction to support the Travel Reimbursement Fund for SteemFest :) https://steemit.com/art/@paolobeneforti/the-art-auction-for-the-travel-reimbursement-fund-for-steemfest-the-artworks-offered-so-far
I'll have a look :=)
Very good job!
Thanks :)
