After posting the ‘sorta paper-craft, but really dodgy’ post just before, a glorious girl I know decided to print it out and colour it in. Here is the result. If you are curious to see more from my dashing friend, check out her blog here! Her awesome colouring in is posted with permission, because I’m just awesome like that.
If you print out and colour little cthulhu here, or any of my pics, really, let me know! I might just post them to the site if you provide me with a copy. Oh dear… I think it’s almost getting to the point where Cthulhu needs its own category. Heaven forbid!
Kat Johnston Sketch: Show you care with the gift of cthulhu. Ok, so this would actually look kinda sucky if you actually made it, but the concept is sound!
Sorrrrrry… I know. Enough cthulhu already. I can’t help it – they’re just toooo cute! Today’s installment on the cthulhu-train is a silly not-quite-papercraft style thingime that could be (if you wanted to put something totally lame on someone’s desk for them) cut out and constructed into something cute. The fact that it is drawn on notepaper and is rough as guts does kind of detract, but I’m actually thinking that it wouldn’t be a totally bad idea for me to make one of these for realsies. It wouldn’t really be that hard to do, and how cute would it be? Super cute. Seriously, show that you care with cthulhu. Do you think it would be a hit? Would you actually want to see a completed one, able to be cut out and constructed?
So anyhow, that is about it for today. Nothing especially exciting to disclose, or let you know about. I think that we’re able to actually start putting things back into the storage room, which will be a blessing, since all of those stupid boxes have been stored in my studio, barring its use for almost 6 weeks straight. Talk about frustrating, huh?
So for today, I shall leave it at that. Enjoy your day, everbody!
Kat Johnston: Yes. It is a cthulhu in a sailor dress. It amuses me.
Dimi, I blame you for this. I just want you to know that. That aside, this cthulhu is super-cute!
That is all. I won’t bore you with a round-about post this time, since I’ve already done two of those so far today. Last cthulhu today, I promise. Oh, and the site will probably return to a semblance of normality sometime soon. In the meantime, it is a make-over for cthulhu madness.
Kat Johnston Digital sketch: Look! She’s got just a teensie bit of colour… yay!
Ok, So I’ll admit it – I had awesome fun adding a teensie bit of colour to this sketch. I know that a smart person would redo the sketch to be perfectly suited to the digital form – outlining things again with the pen tool, and getting awesome, crisp lines… but sue me. I’m lazy, and as if you can’t tell, I love seeing my working marks on sketches!
So anyhow, this is a little extra bonus pic for the night. Cutie-cthulhu, with a little bit of rough colour! I’m going to get back to my real life for the evening now. I have some wonderful music playing, I’m bopping along happily, and I’m allllmost tempted to go see what gorgeous wines we have lying around. That is just how awesome tonight is.
In fact, it is so awesome that I did up another brand new banner for the site. It’s just a bit of silliness, but still… a lot of fun for me! Hope you like it!
Kat Johnston Sketch: It is a cthulhu, and it is a girl. It is cute!
Is there such a thing as a cthulhu who is also a girl, or at least ‘of the female persuasion’? I suggest that there is. I have not seen a picture of one before (not that I have gone searching, mind you), but I think that there should be. Perhaps if there were not, there are none for good reason. Perhaps if there were girl cthulhus, they would actually be prolific breeders, and the Earth would be overrun by them. With that entirely said, I have not read H.P. Lovecraft at all. For all I know, the breeding habits of the common cthulhu is expressly outlined in detail within the first paragraph of ‘Call of the Cthulhu’. You know… right by that bit where they explain exactly how to pronounce the damn word.
After going through the Wiki for Cthulhu, it would appear that Cthulhu might actually have reproduced to create, uhhhh, mini-cthulhu (otherwise known as ‘star spawn’)… possibly without the aid of a female. I’m sure somebody can correct me properly, so that I don’t get it wrong.
Wait, was this meant to be a blog about art? About sketches and inspiration? Boy I’m posting some random things, recently…
