Cthulhu Statuette (with Mysterious Writings Added)

thingiverse

Cerberus333 has created a magnificent 3D rendition of the Cthulhu fetish, precisely as described in The Call of Cthulhu by H.P. Lovecraft. This incredible model was based on a sketch made by Lovecraft himself, making it the most authentic and accurate depiction available to date. To enhance the already impressive creation, one crucial detail was still missing - the cryptic writings on the cube's sides! To fill this gap, I painstakingly recreated the enigmatic script from Lovecraft's original sketch using Adobe Illustrator, and then skillfully engraved them onto the model's surface using Blender. For your convenience, an alternative version with a flattened bottom has also been provided to facilitate printing. Care was taken to ensure that shortening the design in this manner would not compromise its overall integrity. The included files - "cthulhu text.svg," which is the vectorized rendition of my recreated text; "cthulhu text expanded.svg," a traced outline version that will consistently look great; and "cthulhu-text.obj," a 3D extrusion of "cthulhu text expanded.svg" - are freely available for you to utilize as you see fit!
