3D model history
The series of horror stories The Cthulhu Mythos of H.P. Lovecraft is a bright example of supernatural literature. In the fictional universe created by Lovecraft, Cthulhu is presented as a supreme priest of the Great Old Ones, god-like creatures who came to Earth from space to rule the planet. The writer depicted Cthulhu as a gigantic entity worshiped by cultists, in the shape of a green octopus, dragon, and a caricature of human form. The imprisoned Cthulhu, hibernating within an underwater city in the South Pacific, is the source of constant subconscious anxiety for all mankind.
The mysterious character of Cthulhu is impersonated in the 3D print model created by our contributing 3D artist. The creature impresses with its appearance and dimensions: the muscled six-eyed giant, who reaches the height of the mountain, with dragon wings and a scaly body with horns is able to sweep away everything in its path. The head of Cthulhu ends in the tentacles of an octopus that resemble a bizarre beard; its bony fingers with claws are curved as if ready to grab the monster’s victim. The model has it all to amaze you and bring the most pleasant experience when printing and painting this fantastic beast!
