The Lovecraft Thread

Make sure you read The Rats in the Wall. If you want trippy, that's the way to go.

A Shadow Over Innsmouth, The Dunwich Horror, Mountains of Madness, they're all great.

Anyone ever read Lovecrafts sci-fi, Beyond the Walls of Eryx? It's fantastic, and makes me wish he actually got into writing sci-fi more before his end.

Bonus - The dude's cat in Rats in the Walls is named 'n***erman.' That's worth reading the story right there. But it gets creepy because n***erman knows whats up behind those walls.. in his eerie cat way.

Also, The Shadow Out of Time. That's some trippy shit right there. I also have a good deal of affection for his Dream Cycle stories.

I listened to the call of cthulu last night. It was pretty good and it was a story I thought about and felt like I was in it. Im a check out some other books by him I guess.

I'm only familiar with the one from the Call of Cthulhu video game. It was alright, I guess, but I kept getting hung up on wondering why there was a shoggoth in Innsmouth.

I'm quite partial to this...




And this...

[Blacklabel]

..you drew the one on the bottom? X) Nice one!

It does remind me of the description of the Shoggoth as being "very large, like a train". 

I'm partial to this one:

Love it!

And yes the bottom one is one of my early works... should remake it. Yeah, the 'train' part of the description is what basically drove the whole drawing.

I might just do a maquette out of a Shoggoth design alongside a cthulhu... hmmmm.... (with a mountains of madness city diorama hehe)

Yes, i've already finished my very tiny micromachines sized figure of the Steven Messing Deacon and a diorama of his mural... will take pics and post later Now i'm looking for other designs to do.

[OmegaZilla]

Always wanted to do a clay Cthulhu idol... I may as well try when September comes ashore.

Cannot wait to see your maquette! The advantage of making something like a Shoggoth is that you do not have to worry for symmetry.

[Blacklabel]

Oh i learned very quickly that in general, doing monsters is a lot easier than doing humans at the tiny size i work in. Doing human faces at micro machines scale with a nice degree of accuracy is... gah! a fools errand..

Got any pics of anything you've done so far?

Here's the design from the video game:
