The Lovecraft Thread

I'm pretty sure "a mountain moved or stumbled" is more metaphorical than literal. He's just really f**king big. If he were as big as a mountain a ship wouldn't be able to hit him in the face.

We have no idea of how much of it was actually hit.

A mile is 1000+ meters -- coincident with the mountain description. Moral -- we don't have precise measurements, but I doubt it's that small.

There's an article floating around the 'Net about why Lovecraft is more popular today. Every time I find a page that's supposed to have the article, there's some kind of timeout error. Has anyone here read it?

This is the first I've heard about it.

If that were hand-drawn, I think it would look much more terrifying. It looks like a tree, only with wings and that's what frightens me.

The Elder Things are quite difficult to get 'visually' without them looking a bit funny. I like that Zbrush model though.

Del Toro would have pulled them off, I think.

Guy Davis version of Cthulhu... wings are too big.. but it's definitely very "Alien" in shape. Not my favourite version of it but i dig it.

The head looks like a swollen tick with tentacles.

I like it.

One of the details Guy Davis wrote on the picture:

"Horse Teeth on tentacles"....

holy shit! Thumbs up.

Kind of getting Mimic vibes. I like that a lot.
