Description
Mr. H.P. Lovecraft finds out that not even he can get away from Great Cthulhu's warm Valentine's Day hug...I know Valentine's Day is long gone already, but only now I had the time to colour this ^^"
The idea was quite random. I was waiting for the start of lesson and listened the HPL Historical Society's "A Shoggoth on the Roof" songs from my MP3-player, when I suddenly was inspired. And Valentine's Day being near back then, I just had to do this. Sometimes randomness pays off well.

I don't know the exact number unfortunately. HPL wrote quite a lot; I have three books filled with short stories of his, and one book of his full-length novel "The Lurker at the Threshold" - and I know there still should be more.

I love them to pieces. They're so brilliantly written! XD
I wonder if WOD is partially based on H.P.L's works?

Same here. HPL's style is truly unique and great X3 Couldn't let the novels "Colour of out Space" and "Herbert West - Reanimator" since they were so griping. Still give me the chills of spookiness and fascination X3
Hmm, dunno of that. But there were some good Cthulhu Mythos/HPL references in VTM: Bloodlines

OMG! You play Bloodlines too!!! XDXDXDXD! 
LaCroix and Velvet pissed me off.
Thought Andrei's War form was cute - he does look like a dragon 
Jack rocks
My Malkavian is an anarch
And doesn't Ming Xiou remind you of the Old Ones? XD
One of my favourite HPL stories was the case of Charles Dexter Ward. XD A vampire...
Yeah, I noticed that the bit in the warrens and 609 Kings way are Lovecraftian. One of the ledgers you find in the sewers mentions HPL

Yup, that game is really good even if it does have a few bugs ^^" I usually start my first game as Toreador and then play the other Clans. My brother has decided to start his game as a Nosferatu XD (We're opposite Clans even in net-tests; I'm Vnetrue, he's Lasombra X3)
Yup, I've noticed the same. Also theres that piece of news in the TV which tells of "Giant octopus-like thing" who's "drifted on ashore in Providence" XD
I laughed my head off ^^"

LOL! Cthulu/Ming Xiou!!!
Not a clue what I'd be. One of my best mates first thought I'd be an Assammite, due to the way I move when I'm walking/running. But that was when we'd not known each other for long. I might ask her again, see what she reckons. Shame you can't play as a Tzimisce, but they have more of a strategic weakness. Think Jack Sparrow's line from PC2 "I got a jar of dirt! I got a jar of dirt! And guess what's inside it!". Either that, or you have to work for the cammies for a bit. I have heard that you can get patches for more stuff though - most by hardcore fans I think.
HPL stories seem to happen in bloodlines XD
Favourite charachter was the Tzimisce - reminds me of the Weird Tales XD

Yup, I got a one fan-patch which I haven't tried out yet, but which adds a few quests, dialogues and repairs some bugs etc etc. Some fans just make awesome mods/patches ^^ (looking at Dawn of War: Witch Hunters mod and bows)
Bloodlines sure has quite interestign characters in it. Too bad it's so short and doesn't have all the Clans.- sigh-
LOL! That's one of my favourite lines in PoC2 XD I once made one of my Malks say that when he was told to impersonate Jack Sparrow =3

I wish I knew how to make patches, so I could 'fill in' the missing clans. I have read on wikipedia that one of the patches gives extra disciplines which might mean more clans 
I'm also doing a chibi doujin on VTM:B - it came from the idea of "I;m gonna make Andrei look cute! And make Jack cross dress!" Velvet Velure has a bishie sense with a 2 mile radius! XD And Gay with a frying pan... lol
You too! OMG! I thought it sums up clan Tzimisce! I think PC3 needed more attention to the plot though.

Lol, yeah, I also have played as Chaos Marines, Eldar and Imperial Guard. I have multiple army-colours I made myself in the Army Painter, and have started writing backgrounds for those armies since I tend to use them in my WH40K stories a lot. I also want to paint my own Imperial Guard, Eldar and Chaos Legion armies in figurines once I get more skill
Sounds like interesting idea, that doujin of yours.
And yup, I must agree that PoC 3 should've got more plot-attention, it wasn't as good as the two first ones =/

Have you tried to play as the Necrons? I got my ass handed to me until the Monolith was activated. (that thing is awesome!) I also went mad with the army painter - I even thought that pink flowery space marines'd be funny!
My cousin Phil got me into this kinda stuff when I was a kid - we used to play Warhammer and Dungeons and Dragons a lot (and still do! XD)
It's what happens when me and 3 of my mates become vampires. I'm a Tzimisce, Jeff's an Malkavian, and Jordan's a Toreador. I'm thinking of what clan to put Danni in at the mo.
And I prove once and for all that no-one grabs my ass. The Ventrue who did so gets his arm ripped off, slapped with it, booted in the nuts and thrown into a table.
And there are ZOMBIES!!!
Plus a gargoyle (wouldn't that be a prob for a fiend? A big lump of rock?)

I tried once, but I didn't much like them. I prefer the others. My brother once played multiplayer game on Dark Crusade though, where he played as Nekrons and I played as my own Chaos Legion. Was fun X3
Warhammer 40K universe is fascinating indeed.
Ouch ^^" Gory style.
Lol, when I think of zombies the first thing that comes to my mind is Resident Evil, then Thief ^^"

Tyhey're tough to play, since the units and buildings take forever to build - and you don't get many units at that.
What happened in the multiplayer game? who won?
Actually, I'd do that (minus the thing with the arm) if someone actually did that - I take no crap like that.
The inspiration for the zombies came from the VTM;B hollywood cemetary (those zombies are tough!), how a Tzimisce would think the Giovanni were amateurs, and Danni wanting a chainsaw in the fanfic. That and Resident Evil was cool! XD
I have to fight a gargoyle at some point...
Fun!

Lol, my bro and I won the computer-controlled adversaries one by one, of course 
I wouldn't take such things either. I'd probably kick at them.
Lol, funny idea, yeah X3 Zombies can be a literal pain ^^"

I had an all-out battle earlier on DoW, I thrashed everything with a Bloodthirster and a HUGE army! XD
The thing is in the story is that the ventrue who loses an arm is the prince's childe...
I like it when they explode. Usually 'cos I smash them to pieces with a katana. (the Tal'meh'ra blade is awesome

Lol X3 I always find it little sad that they didn't use other GReater Daemons. Would've loved to summon the Lord of Change on the field (I admit, if Iwere a part of Chaos Legion I'd be the one worshiping Tzeentch =3)
Ouch...Now that might be problematic =/
I managed to get my way through the Gargoyle by talking somehow ^^"

Cool
Imagine a Tzimisce fighting a gargoyle... isn't that away of getting said fiend's ass kicked? (send it to 609 King's Way! LOL)

Not if the Fiend uses his flesh-crafted minions - and there's also the Kolduns to consider about

Is a major problem if she's on her own and armed with a 600yr old katana. Pretty much what'll happen in the fanfic. Yup, koldunic sorcery could be useful.

*o* CTHULHU!!!!!!!!!! so cute...
great work ^^

Lol, thanks, it really does pays off giving it to the randomness AND listening to HPL Historical Society's songs while doing so ^^
I had little trouble while colouring Lovecraft (all pictures of him are black-and-white!), so I took the reference from an art book pic I saw once.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
may be... he was black and white xD (he was really freaky guy xD) but i love his books ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, what a conspirational idea! XD
He always has the same stern look on his face in those pics I've seen, but he was a very stern person overall (from what I've read of him). But man, he sure knew how to write and how to help others to write ^^

ooo yes.... cthulhu bless lovecraft xD

Thanks ^^ I've drawn small plush-type Cthulhus before to my own amusement but this is the first real chibi I made of him.
