The great old one with skull reminds me of the temple run monkeys. <br /><br />Animation wrapped for Atomic! Now on to to live action. From what I did, I think the movie's going to look really good.<br /><br />Also working on a fantasy story, sort of a homage to Harryhausen epics and my most ambitious project ever. I will talk about it, eventually.<br /><br />Happy New Year, everyone!<br /><br />Kelston HublerKelston Hublerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05221212213305763537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575643820108813603.post-72916270255558401292015-01-03T03:05:27.290-08:002015-01-03T03:05:27.290-08:00So am I, Ursula!

From what I've read, Lovecraft himself wasn't too concerned with how all the monsters were realted to each other, and how the stories interlocked. Sometimes they did and sometimes they didn't. All in all, I'm taking a light approach to the whole thing, and looking at each story as something that should stand on its own legs. It's nice if I can interest people not familiar with Lovecraft to start checking out his stories without believing that there's a whole mythology you MUSt read up on first.Richard Svenssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379574381914082334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575643820108813603.post-59297312693046410962015-01-02T06:00:31.030-08:002015-01-02T06:00:31.030-08:00That's true...but while it is outside the stan...That's true...but while it is outside the standard Mythos universe (this is the "Dream-Cycle"), it is mentioned in the "Dream-Quest" that Azathoth, Nyarlathotep, and Shub-Niggurath, as mentioned in stories like "The Dreams in the Witch House" and "The Haunter of the Dark" are synonymous with the Other Gods of the Dreamlands.<br /><br />Still, since it is once of his earlier tales, there weren't any Yog-Sothoths or Nyarlathoteps. So, you're right!<br /><br />BRIAN<br /><br />P.S. Also mentioned in the "Dream-Quest" are the "nameless larvae of the Other Gods", which would be stuff Barzai might've seen.Luffyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149523071142669242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575643820108813603.post-71304117744009679842015-01-01T15:53:56.588-08:002015-01-01T15:53:56.588-08:00I'm trying to do a whole set of new bessties f...I'm trying to do a whole set of new bessties for this one, so no Azatoth. As I understand it, this story actually stands outside of standard Cthulhu mythos, and so the "gods of the outer hells" talked about here were probably no distinct beings in Lovecraft's mind since he wrote it very early in his artistic life. In other words, the creatures encountered by Barzai can be any types of weird monstrosities.Richard Svenssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15379574381914082334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6575643820108813603.post-55279219204794567652015-01-01T14:12:28.958-08:002015-01-01T14:12:28.958-08:00DANG this is INCREDIBLE!
