Cthulhu + Heart by Amy Crook

Cthulhu + Heart by Amy Crook

Cthulhu has brought you a bouquet of cultists! He just wants to be loved, see how he’s baring his heart for you?

This is another of the new illustrations for my Monster Heart Coloring Book. I couldn’t resist putting a Cthulhu in, and of course he’s also available as a Valentine.

Cthulhu 3 and Cthulhu’s Heart, both 5″x7″ pen and ink and Copic markers on watercolor paper.

Sneak Preview – Cthulhu Heart

Thursday, December 23rd, 2010

Cthulhu Heart inks by Amy Crook

Here’s a little sneak preview of my next awesome thing, a Monster Heart Coloring Book for Valentine’s Day! I’m giving you a sneak peek here with Cthulhu’s tentacley little heart, which he’s offering up to you. I’ll be drawing a new Cthulhu to go with it, along with a bunch of other great classic monsters like Dracula and the Mummy.

Also, instead of bonus zombies, I’m drawing Bonus Brides! After all, it Frankenstein’s Monster wouldn’t be complete without his bride.

This coloring book will be 4 images bigger than the last, but sell for the same price — $13.13 for printed & mailed, and $9.13 for the download. I’m hoping to have them up before Jan. 1, so you can make sure your valentine is all ready. There will even be matching cards!

So, who’s your favorite classic monster, from film or literature?

Weeble Wednesday: Shoggoth

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

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.
