I did this animation for an english class about an year ago, our object was to create a lovecraft themed animation. I drew inspiration from the novel Call of Cthulhu and tried to create a dreamlike experience, where the viewer gets sucked into the world of the sleeping Cthulhu. Animation was created in 3ds max (cthulhu in zbrush) and took about 2 weeks to make (including render times), sounds are from freesound.org.
When I look at it now I think I should have spent more time lighting the scene (it's too dark!) and should have modeled more (and better looking!) plants to fill the seabed.
