Paper Model: Cthulhu

Regular readers here will know that besides papercrafts, I am also a really big fan of Cthulhu and H.P. Lovecraft. It’s so wonderful to have the two come together in one place.

This is another papercraft by Jerom, who designs great monster papercraft. If you haven’t been to his site yet, you should really check it out. He’s the person who designed the awesome Proxima Centari paper monster that I built a few months back.

One cool thing about this model is that it comes with a screaming “cultist.” Also, it can be made in three different colors! There is green, orange, and black (the black is available through Dreamland Toyworks).

“Above these apparent hieroglyphics was a figure of evidently pictorial intent, though its impressionistic execution forbade a very clear idea of its nature. It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings, but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.” – H.P. Lovecraft from The Call of Cthulhu
