there was this guy at my university, a very strange man, who made "sculptures" that were just clay cones dropped from various heights.
i got to working on the tentacles this afternoon and had a lot of memories of his bad craziness. he would just make these clay cones, maybe a foot or two tall and drop them. he would say he did it "with a certain technique".
For a good idea of the sheer size of Tooloo (also Kootloo, and a few other variant names) take a look at the cover of the BRP version of CoC: Pretty, eh?
Take a look at an actual copy of the book if you can, the tiny example on their website does not do it justice. The first time I looked at it I didn't see Cthulhu, just assumed there were some mountains in the background....
The Auld Grump, not a Great Old One, just Auld....
I have a copy of Robert E. Howard's "Cthulhu: The Mythos and Kindred Horrors" whose cover art is actually a statuette of Cthulhu which appears in one of the stories.
I couldn't find a picture online, but wouldn't you know it, someone sells a statuette actually based on that cover art: http://www.bowendesigns.com/cthulhu.html
Sorry to interup you guys, but that pic with the Iconics is NOT Cthulhu.
It's a Star Spawn - they're smaller, but members of the same race as the old one himself... Cthulhu wouldn't fit in the same pic, due to size conciderations...
I recall Inquest once having a nice pic of a bookstop of cthulhu somewhere - maybe you should ask them...
Of course not. The MASTER sometimes appears to others in a form that is so unsettling, their brains cannot comprehend what they are seeing. You, obviously, have subconsiously chosen to see the GREAT ONE as the symbol of the commercialization of a pagan festival day. How I pity thee.
Oops, got to run, someone wants to borrow one of the GREAT ONES books...
