H.P. Legocraft

Lovecraftian modeling in clay, metal, and granite has raged favorably since at least the onset of the online Lovecraft cult. Now, add legos to the mix. Tentacled horrors have successfully been adapted in a few stand out cases to this deceptively simple art form. Brickshelf.com exhibits this gallery, which includes a Cthulhuvian terror bursting from the depths.

More recently, Mr. Xenomurphy's lego page showed off an atmospheric descent into the darkness that can exist with rectangular blocks. Xenomurphy fleshed out his Lovecraftian lego scenes with a mini-story centering around a previously unknown Great Old One and von Juntz's Unaussprechliche Kulte. The exotic appendages tearing through an estate nicely blends Lovecraftian and old Gothic imagery.

Best of all, Legocraft presents a very affordable and equalizing avenue for aspiring Lovecraft artists. One needn't have the wealth and experience working with the traditional elements to achieve an interesting effect. Of course, whatever the medium, some artistic ability and imagination is mandatory for successfully generating authentic Lovecraftian horror.
