Going Tiny- Adding to my Cthulhu Mythos Figures Series

I was making figures about 8 inches or larger, but I made this teeny little green guy, Lothor. I think he's so cute. I thought I'd make a Nyarlathotep, or a Stalker Among the Stars.....which is a nice name for a monster who is supposed to make men mad.

But, I found these skull beads and my tiny monsters stood by patiently as I created my decorator Cthulhu Chas. The idea of this giant monster decorating his lair amused me.

Beezus had Ramona...Germanicus had Caligula

So, it seems reasonable that Cthulhu Should have an even more evil younger relative. This little menace's name is Lulu.

She is soft and a pretty shade of lavender, and that's as far as the nice goes. Lulu has the smallest cult of human followers of all the Elder Gods. Mostly because she has the biggest appetite for blood and she's easily bored.

These figures have been fun to make. Juxtaposing the viciousness of the characters with soft plush and big sweet eyes really amuses me. Now I just have to see if anyone else finds them funny too.

Cthulhu Awakens!!! New Cthulhu Figures

H. P. Lovecraft's stories always scared me because of that feeling of oppressive fear and dread that he was so good at creating. My favorite novel is The Mountains of Madness.

I admit his characters often left a great deal to be desired, but the unnerving atmosphere....well it got me every time.

I've been wanting to come up with a new design idea for a monster that is both cute and creepy at the same time. By using huge eyes and soft plush, I think I've made a cute version of Cthulhu, but he's still a little creepy.

I as much as I like my first Cthulhu Playtime figure Nyarlthotep, I'm going to use resin eyes on the rest of the figures. The big 3D eyes are more expressive than the embroidered eye.

I'm playing round with designing Cthulhu's little sister LuLu and a blind albino penguin. My Cthulhu needs some more friends besides Nyarlthotep.
