You should get more intricate with the architectiral design of ryleh (pardon the fact that i most likely misspelled that) in this animation. Its described as being beyond imaginable and no man couldve created. Like no right angles and stuff
I bought this character many years ago, and I look forward to animating him/IT in a future 3D movie. Just testing the posing and firefly renderings of Cthulhu in Poser 6 was cool. Did an awesome job creating Cthulhu! Cool creature. Props to ya ;-}
Well, it was just a test of a figure we were releasing for Poser users. Trust me: I wish I had the time and funding to do some long form stuff with him and LOT of others. Oh, and my though was that the little door thingy was kind of a "risen" piece of R'lyeh. Just an interpretation really, and loose one in good fun at that. Thanks for the comment. -Les
True, but in Call Of Cthulhu (the story he appears in), Cthulhu's city rises to the surface of the ocean, and he is released from an ancient tomb by a group of sailors.
How about a longer vid, and make this higher in detail and resolution too. Let us tour the whole place for a few minutes before letting Cthulhu come out.
Well i like it a lot your cthulhu is by far the best i have seen. It fits Lovecraf's description perfectly. My version of cthulhu is more comic book style but am not done whit it yet. Are those spikes and poles the ancient city R'lyeh?
dude you could make videos about cthulhu and make him destroy citys and other things. and if you ok it with the right people, you may actulaly make money off this
Thanks alot! Because of our business, we've actually been in contact with some of the folks from Chaosium and received their blessing on our figures, just in case of any issues. The designs are our interpretations, and most Lovecraft canon is open for that anyway. Thanks again! :)
Oh yeah... it was modeled in mostly in Maya, with extra sculpting and texturing in Zbrush. This animation was actually done, for the most part, out of Poser 7, with the sky, rain and lightning added in After Effects.
If I had a budget. If only... :) I would love to do a full-on Cthulhu movie, but we're tied up in other projects right now, and it would take more budget than we have. The character in this piece is somewhere around 40ft. tall. I don't think there is a real sizing of him in the original stories from Lovecraft so it's just kind of personal interpretation.
i love a monster that makes you scared just looking up at it(i am afraid of hights to the point where if i look up at something HUGE it gives me a bit of fear lol)
Same here. heheh.. I knew Cloeverfield wouldn't be Cthulhu, but it had some of the effect I would have wanted... too bad too: they could have just inserted Cthulhu right into the plot and ran with it. Would have been perfect.
is there any way to summon cthulhu in your dreams?

Cthulhu is much bigger than that.
He was able to stand in really deep water and his waist was above the water.

As a matter of fact Cthulhu can be much bigger than that, much smaller than that, or the way hes shown here. He can take any size as he likes.

Looked cool, wish it was longer. However, Cthulhu resides under the ocean floor, not in an ancient above ground temple. Still cool looking though.
