Weeble Wednesday: Shoggoth

Weeble Shoggoth by Amy Crook

Weeble Shoggoth by Amy Crook

Shoggoth here is the last of my Lovecraft monsters from the Cthulhu Coloring Book, although I do still have one lonely bonus zombie yet to be colored. He’s a shapeshifting, blob-like horror, drawn on a rather grand scale when you see that he’s about to have a little snack out of the poor guy he managed to catch.

My Shoggoth design is loosely based on Mythos canon, and very influenced by the Shoggies in the webcomic Unspeakable Vault (of Doom). In fact, if you’re feeling a bit lost about all these strange monsters, that’s a great place to learn a little bit about them with a lot of humour. Personally, I learned most of it playing Arkham Horror.

Weeble Wednesday: Hound of Tindalos

Weeble Hound of Tindalos by Amy Crook

I’ve colored my second-to-last monster from the Cthulhu Coloring Book (though there’s also one bonus zombie left)! This is the Hound of Tindalos, a Lovecraft creation who is said to stalk time travelers like a hound once it gets their scent. He can appear anywhere there is an angle of less than 120 degrees, and here he’s slipping out of a corner to play fetch with you! Clearly you would never do something so naughty as to time travel, so you have nothing to fear from this gruesomely cute beast.

If you play Arkham Horror, you already know about this guy — he’s always one of the monsters that gets an unhappy groan when he appears out of the monster cup in our group.

Another busy weekend — I did a ton of art yesterday, actually, but none of it was really art post material yet. Oops? Anyway, here’s yet more doodles done for kind purchases of the Cthulhu Coloring Book.

For most of the buyers of my Cthulhu Coloring Book, I’ve had time to put a little 5-minute sketch in the inside front covers. I remembered to scan most of the doodles before mailing them, so here they are for your to enjoy!

Weeble Wednesday: Obligatory Cultist

Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010

Cultist by Amy Crook

Cultist by Amy Crook

After doing all those other Lovecraftian monsters, I decided that one thing my coloring book needed was a proper hooded-robed cultist to worship them. He’s wearing the Elder Sign as sketched by Lovecraft (rather than the more star-like version used in Arkham Horror), and chanting in some sanity-rending ancient tongue in his attempts to summon Cthulhu, or one of the other Great Old Ones. Or maybe just a Shoggoth, who knows.

You can find him and a bunch of the monsters he’s trying to summon in my Cthulhu Coloring Book on Etsy, which you can buy either as a pdf or a printed book.
