Akavakaku Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) http://th03.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/f/2014/171/7/0/mocthulhu_by_orionide5-d7n5es3.jpgIt all started when I was looking at Gresh's helmet and lamenting how useless it was for making anything that wasn't Gresh... and suddenly, I realized there WAS something I could do with it! Building a Lego Cthulhu isn't a novel idea, but I don't think there are many others who did it without using any parts that actually look like tentacles. For the unacquainted, Cthulhu is an unfathomable, godlike being from the books of H.P. Lovecraft, and while it might be a little heretical to assume that its cyclopean, eldritch form can be depicted accurately, I did try to at least keep all the concretely described details from the story. (What are "flabby claws?") You won't find any advanced building techniques here, except possibly the attachment of the tentacles to the face, but I just like how it turned out. Perfect size to menace some minifigs get wiped out by a Lego boat.More views: http://sta.sh/0110qka6pps3 http://sta.sh/0g4wlwccbsg Features: all the standard (Inika) articulation points except the head, articulated waist and wings, toes are technically articulated but really? I don't think they should count.More MOCs on the way! Image isn't too big, is it? Edit: Image was indeed a bit big for BBC, so I linked it for you.-Wind- Edited June 22, 2014 by -Windrider- 3 Quote ( The bunny slippers hiss and slither into the shadows. ) -Takuaka: Toa of TimeWhat if the Toa you know best were not destined to be?

Collector1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 (edited) Beautiful custom design. Though, I think there should be poseable tentacles, just like the Cthulhu. Edited June 20, 2014 by Collector1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Stranger Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 AAAUGH! It is beautiful. My brain just turned inside out. CTHULHU FHTAGN! Ahem. I have to say, while the entire thing is very well done, the real highlight of this one is the custom torso. I love how you made it just vaguely humanoid while keeping it from looking like anything close to human. Now, where was I? Ah, yes. PH'NGLUI MGLW'NAFH CTHULHU RLYEH WGAH'NAGL FHTAGN!
