H. P. Lovecraft left us with a legacy of dreadful imaginings.
As a friend of horror, I would like to see what the people of Elftown can make of his work.

2011-11-22 [Rice]: I AM HERE! When I go home for Christmas I'll use the decent scanner and draw a picture for this. I have an idea already...

2012-01-06 [DerynStarling]: oh dear. My boyfriend would love it if I drew something Lovecraft related. hahaha I guess I'm in :)

2012-01-06 [Linderel]: Hooray! :D

2012-01-06 [DerynStarling]: :3

2012-01-06 [Linderel]: Very nice. :)

2012-01-07 [DerynStarling]: Thanks! :)

2012-01-20 [Avaz]: Why am I only discovering this today? >:O *watches*

2012-01-20 [Linderel]: I have no idea, but you should definitely make it up to me somehow. By participating, for example.

2012-01-20 [Avaz]: Argh, but I stopped drawing by hand nearly a decade ago! I concentrate on mostly photomanips and digital art these days, which leaves me disqualified for this contest. >_>

2012-01-20 [Linderel]: Digital painting is a-okay, if you do that sort of stuff. Besides, you can always revisit old habits!

2012-01-20 [Avaz]: Ah. In that case, I will think it over and try to decide quickly if I'll have the time to finish a piece in time before the deadline. :D

2012-01-31 [Linderel]: Oh, if someone's considering not participating because the deadline's so close, get your butt in gear. I'm extending.

2012-01-31 [Nocturnaliss]: WONDERFUL. I am one of those people :3

2012-01-31 [Veltzeh]: Ummm. Could I have a link to a short essay or something like it that explains what this Lovecraft stuff is so I could ponder what kind of art I could make about it? X) I'm just not familiar with horror.

2012-01-31 [Nocturnaliss]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cthulhu

2012-02-01 [Linderel]: Well, Lovecraft is more than just Cthulhu. I'd like to see some Shoggoths and Shub-Nigguraths, for example. And non-Euclidian geometry.

Also, Vel, you've played Arkham Horror, right? :o

2012-02-01 [wicked fae mage]: The King in Yellow! *eyes twinkle*

2012-02-01 [Veltzeh]: Yeah, I've played Arkham Horror, but I can't remember much of its visuals.

2012-02-01 [Veltzeh]: Also, no, I don't want to do Cthulhu, I'd rather draw something else. X)

2012-02-08 [Nocturnaliss]: Sorry, I figured that link'd be a good place to start... there's many other links to other lovecraftian mythology.

Also, I found this:
