The details on the eyes was especially striking! The whole thing looked like an experience and a half! Great job!

The glowing runes look incredible, I definitely need to spend more time on my glow effects

Rejoice that Cthulhu sleeps. And now you should too after that day long paint session. Masterful work

Money shot, and cat butt immediately. Love it.

Cat cameo so oddly appropriate... That turned out fantastic! Excellent work!

Your words keep saying “fun” while your face is saying “why-do-you-hat-freedom!?!?” You did a fantastic job on a colossal project. Thanks for sharing.

That's just beautiful work, and I love the addition of the purple LED lighting.

Wow. Mad massive mini painting skills, Lyla! The details like those eyes and glowing sigils are an awesome finishing touch too. 👏

That's the CMON R'lyeah Rising mini! It goes to one of the best games ever-- Cthulhu death may die. The finished product looks incredible! I might need to attempt the LED lighting on mine.

One word....EPIC!!!

Came out great, well done.

A model this size is absolutely a candidate for priming with a rattle can, regardless of how much you love your airbrush. Can't deny the results though, amazing work!

Just amazing, the finer details are stunning.

Very cool paint job and the lights turned out great.

Holy cow. I painted mine in 24hours straight a few years ago and watching this caused me flashbacks. I felt like I was back on that emotional ride all over again. Nice job.

The eyes look amazing!

very awesome paint job a model that big would make a heck of a door stop

Great job. I like the orange cat for scale.

I was just going to say how amazing the glowing pillars look when you showed a closeup of his eyes, and WOW!

Wow, that is an insane model! Well done!

An ambitious project well done!

Magnificent!!! The Elder Gods would be proud!

3:06 that 11pm mood is basically my entire existence now.

That drilling music slaps!

Looks amazing, and those eyes!!

Well done! You did amazing given the time constraints!

Loved the eyes most of all!

Incredible. Simply incredible. Amazing work and yes those eye are unbelievable. I hope you have a video on doing eyes like that, I'm going to look now. Wow.

I never assumed I'd see someone make a video with this thing. It's been sitting on my shelf for years...mostly just waiting for me to finish all the other episodes of the game to get to it for a big finale.

absolutely great job

Gorgeous! I love the suction cups on his back and rump.

That looks really great! I also enjoyed the frequent sightings of Cat-thulu 😊

Awesome, thanks for the insight. Would love to see how the eyes were done, probably enough effort was done for its own video!

9:18 most relatable moment!

Eyes are amazing, would love to see how you achieved that! This guy is sat on top of my bookshelf ...waiting...may copy your idea with the LEDs and I definitely want to build up the water more

That was an awesome job on such a big boy.

Just wow!

What a great job!

Congrats on completing your toddler sized cthulu! I remember painting my buddy's during the pandemic and needing to put up plastic sheeting to make a spray booth for the monstrosity 😂😂

Now that's been some trypophobia fuel... What an unbelievable monstrosity! Lyla, well done for pushing through this arduous challenge💪🏼

You did a magnificent job. You shouldn’t be upset at all that looks great.

I've been so tempted to buy that bad boy, now I know this is possible, I'm even more tempted 😅

Amazing work!

I love the colors that you used, good job and well done.

I’m gonna be painting the Marvel Zombies Galactus this week. I’ve literally taken a week off work to get it done. Love your content as always Lyla. #NotificationSquad

That turned out awesome!!! I love the colors, they really made those shadows! And what a cool sculpt!!!

Awesome job, love it

This is one of my favorite pieces you've painted! It looks freaking epic!

i really appreciate the time you put in to this but i feel like you did the texture of the sculpt a disservice, maybe you could have done more dry brushing instead of doing glazing and airbrushing at the end. it might just be how it looks on camera :s Keep up the good work. also the water looks really good!

Great paint job

So cool! Just WOW! I almost added this to my Kickstarter pledge, almost, but I’m just a dilettante when it comes to painting and could never have done it justice. Besides, as I’m sure you’re aware at some point you look at your pledge, and just have to say, “Stop, you need to buy food this month too!” Love that I got to see what a true artist was able to do with it, bravo!

Excellent work 😊

Thanks!

This is amazing. I backed the campaign for season 3 and 4 for the game and added this bad boy to my order. Thanks for providing inspiration for when I get my order in (shipping label created but not in the courier’s hands just yet. Love the channel thanks for sharing your techniques.

Awesome!!

Looking good 👍

Yassss! I've always kicked myself for missing out on this when it first came out on KS

As Dread Cthulhu causes madness in yet another artist.

Epic. Way to Go BIG! And that glow effect is so bright!

Now I'm really regretting that I didn't add the giant Cthulhu to the Season 3/4 Kickstarter, when it was available. Looks like I need to hope for a third KS now. Anyhow, you got some real mad painting skills. Would have taken me weeks to get something that big to at least halve the quality you achieved here.

Good color scheme!

Woow! Really enjoyed watching this kind of project from you! Hope you found it fun too!

i love that model and you did an awesome job on it. love it.

Wow, wooooooow, wooooooooooooooow. Dont have words.... Thanks for sharing with us!

Amazing job and great video! I imagine if you had more time, it would have even more awesomeness to it.

to get the giant of a kit built in that time ,people might say easy but for some only if all your paints are all planned out and you know what paint and technique your going to use maybe but great work and sharing all your great work with us all keep it up .

Great stuff friend 👏 👍

Incredible Paintjob, i did not think the whole model can look so good in such a short time. Also the Lights look amazing, i think the final shots in a light enviroment dont do it justice

This thing is stunning! Especially thinking how fast you were able to do this is just unreal.

I love the orange eyes, and the details in them (would that be called specular highlights?). Amazing over all, but that was the one detail that really grabbed me.

I loved being able to paint one of these. If I had one of my own I would definitely light it like this. Fantastic!

Very huge statue,Bravo Lyla ,great paintjob ,this sure will give nythmares to the cats !

Absolutely amazing!

Definitely a cool model nice work as always

Wow...😍

That was great! So glad the carving and lighting worked.

Hey Lyla, just wanted to stop and say that I always enjoy watching your videos and how you're keeping all of your ups and downs in there to show the reality of painting models and doing crafts. This turned out really cool, especially with the time restrictions you were given!

What's the biggest model you've ever painted?

Extremely impressive and great to see you working on a larger scale. I predominantly work 1/6 up to 1/1 but I find that so much of what you teach me in mini scale is transferable to my preferred scale. This upload was the best of both worlds. Thank you so much

NIce!!! Also, some ideas for my, still unpainted, Cthulhu Wars big lad.👍

incredible

that is dope

Fantastic model done right, the lighting effects are so cool as well! I can only imagine what a chore it was to prepare for painting

While the end result was pretty striking, i think it wouldve saved sooooo much time and headache using a purple and green zenithal with spray primers!

That is breathtaking. Its a bit of a dream of mine to paint this one day.

amazing!!!!

Dayum! Just dayum!

Amazing, love the glowing runes!

Thank you. Please don't take this as criticism, it is not, I could not have done half that in twice the time, but would not a wet-look/gloss finish have fit a sea-monster/god nicely?

Love it. I've been wanting to paint this huge figure for ages, but wanted to wait until I see more examples of how to do it right. Yours is perfect! It's a massive project for 24 hours, I'm planning about two weeks. Nice idea with the LEDs in the carvings too. I'm planning on painting the sea behind him with reds and deep resin to make a sea of blood... maybe have him holding an old sailboat or something too. High varnish on the legs and tentacles to create a wet look. Anyway, Impressive work, thank you!

Congratulations on finishing such an enormus model! My friend has one gathering dust at the top of his cat tree. XD I couldn't affort one, sadly. Grandpapy Cthulu is looking great! I do wonder how it would look with purple tentacles instead of green, but its just idle wonder on my part as yours looks outstanding!

Can’t wait to have no where to put this monstrosity when it arrives with my Kickstarter Can’t wait to paint it though it’s gonna be a blast

Very Impressive and determination too meeting the time frame... I enjoyed the part your hubby gave you a breath of air letting you remember the water had dried up from that ocean. XD Btw beautiful work as always and thank you for sharing.

Slowly losing your mind while working on giant Cthulhu was very on point! Also, great looking result.

Awesome result! 😍 I never painted such a huge model. I am sure it's a complete other thing to deal with...

Amazing work! Can't believe how fast you got this done!

What a fantastic model and incredible paint job! And Lawd that dumper! With every step he'll drive his worshippers insane with the thunderous sound of those cheeks clappin' 🤣 Keep up the great work Lyla 💜

Amazing!!! I bet you're painting box art in no time!

Impressive!!! Congrats !!!

Awesome paint job!
