Where others have not, artist Corinne Crowe has succeeded in remaining faithful to H.P. Lovecraft's description of the statue in "The Call of Cthulhu." Measuring 7.5 inches x 3 inches x 5 inches, each statue is cast from the artist's own molds with high-quality resin and weighs approximately 2 pounds. The artist's particular casting process results in swirls and striations of color, as well as the gold element, that vary from piece to piece. Consequently, each statue is truly unique and can never again be duplicated!
The standard color scheme for "Cthulhu" is green and black with gold. However, there has been some experimentation with other colors, producing some of the "deviant" color schemes you see in the statues featured in the catalog.
This edition of "Cthulhu" is limited to only 500. Each statue is individually numbered and signed by the artist underneath the base, and comes with a signed, numbered certificate of authenticity. Each certificate is folded inside a sheet of semi-transparent green vellum paper and slipped into a black envelope!
Dark Music Domain is the only retail source for Corinne Crowe's "Cthulhu."www.CthulhuStatues.com(Of the 11 statues that arrived in the beginning of March, only 5 remain. We will be getting 6 more soon, but these statues do tend to sell fast!!) Many thanks to Darrick for permission to post this. Dark Music Domain originally hosted his page for Cthulhu One before this website was created.

Nice idols.
I am waiting for an internal sign that it is time for me to start my form/casting work. I hope that i can get satisfying results.
I doubt it will look this sexy though.
These idols are great.

Indeed they would, they are as decorative as a Giger piece.
Have any of you guys noticed how Cthulhu idols sometimes seem to give the impression that they move slightly. Also i think my idol looks different from time to time. It probably doesnt though, but i dont remember experiencing this with any of my other idols.
I noticed it with both my previous and my present Kut idol.
Probably just me and my blurryness ;D

I had a dream about my sculpture, it often happens that way. I dream it, then create it. I want to make it full scale, about as tall as me (or at least 4' tall) I think it would be a most profound addition to my ritual space. I'll post a pic when it's finished, it will be a great Fall Project. I love projects! I usually resume my demon portraits in the Winter, when my workspace is more tolerable. The heat is unbearable in my garage. This is Lilu, the Sumarian Demon of Air. I made this last winter, it hangs in my ritual space. Love it! This is Foras, demon of the forest. I sold him to my friend Corey. Ochosi the Hunter, also in my ritual space (sometimes they are hard to let go of!) I was thinking about doing a Lovecraft Series, that would be interesting. Who can forget Venger's Mojo Doll! He was fun to make. Those sculptures are great though, I like seeing how people imagine Cthulhu. Great stuff.

very cool, SIN.
if one were to create a sculpture out of the blue, without any prior experience or training... what would you suggest? is there a particular medium, technique, or website out there for the uninitiated?

VS Personally, I think the lack of formal training is key in manifesting one's imagination in the true medium. I'd recommend sculpy clay, it's very forgiving. It can be shaped by hand, or with tools. Then once you are finished, you can slow bake it in the oven at 250* to preserve it - hard as nails. Then you can paint it and add other medium. There's also a air-dry clay you can buy, but its very fragile when dry, and it has a tendency to crack in the heat (especially in Winter). I wouldn't recommend it. Another option, is the arts & crafts store of your area. If they carry it, I can't remember what it's called but there's a gel mold you can make. The gel hardens, then you pour plaster into it, but it's only good for about 1-2 pours before the mold falls apart, that's an option. My final, is paper mache. This is what I plan on making the large scale statue out of. You can either make a mix of flour, water and ellmers glue, or use wallpaper paste. You can use casting tape, or newspaper. The newspaper method, you'll need to really layer it on, to make it thick enough to withstand time. Otherwise, it's fragile. A layer of plaster on it goes a long way too. Once you have it the way you want it to look, and it's dry you can use a layer of plaster or stucco to give it some weight. Then paint it, add other things to it to really give it dimension. Sand and grit gives it a nice texture. Once I get around to getting a new webcam, I can record my creation of my statue. It might give you some hands-on ideas on how you want to make yours.
