Nice.  He needs to be a bit bigger though.

Does anyone know a good Lovecraft art book? I watched a documentary on him and some of the illustrations were fantastic. I'd love a book of them for my shelf, but I'm not finding much info online. The few books out there that look like they could be right don't really explain their contents very well.

Barnes & Noble's H. P. Lovecraft The Complete Fiction. It's $20 and has all of the stories he wrote himself. It's also just a really nice looking book.

I own some of the fiction itself, I'm more interesting in illustrations at the moment. I'll have a look at it though

As for the picture, I thought it was wearing a crown...

Gah, I feel dumb. Posted that right when I woke up this morning and was still tired, and I obviously missed the parts where you mentioned "art" and "illustrations"

400 pages sounds great, but the preview pages aren't that great... I'm torn...

And then I see the price. f**k.

Yeah, $500 is a lot to pay for something you're not sure about.  So far, I'm not that impressed with the preview art, even I dig retro sci fi and horror art, this stuff isn't doing it for me- not when I can find stuff for free online.  This is really more of a collectable for the hardcore fan.

Miles tall. "A mountain stumbled or moved."

I saw some movie where he didn't appear that much bigger than a man.

[Sabby]

Which movie was this?

[Blacklabel]

there was a spanish film where he was hardly a "Mountain" in size...



^ Usually artists give him these "human" eyes... Ergh.

[maledoro]

I can't remember. I recall that Cth was able to get through some spaces while chasing after a guy. Maybe he could change his size at will, or there were some continuity errors.
