Kabuki Finish the Dread Idol of Cthulhu
October 7, 2014 by dracs
Kabuki have done it, their madness has reached its peak as they present the finished and painted Idol of Cthulhu!
I think Kabuki have done a great job with this. It isn't quite what I would imagine of the idol from the Call of Cthulhu story, as Kabuki seem to have made Cthulhu himself look a bit more humanoid in appearance. Still, it retains the monstrous deity's strong sense of disturbing menace and the level of detail and effective paint shading has me excited to see the idols of the other mythos deities Kabuki have been working on.
What are your thoughts on Kabuki's idol now you see it in all its glory?
Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.
Ia! Ia!
You have to love the weirdness of Lovecrafts mythos. The vile racism, however, is difficult to stomach. I know Lovecraft was a man of his time, but I still find it next to impossible to read his original works. My tolerance for bigotry is too low.
Fortunately, the broader mythos includes some more enlightened authors.
I must say I never read any of his books or stories. Might be for the best from what you describe.
