Uncle Mike:
Welcome, friends and supplicants, to the Lovecraftian Painting Circle (LPC)!
In the tradition of this esteemed site, another painting club has awoken to tantalize and titillate. The Professor has decreed it and who am I to defy him? The Lovecraftian Painting Circle starts today! The stars have come right and the words have been said; all that is needed is for some keen cultists to put brush to model and shock the world with frightful effigies and colours from space! But there shall be only 100 and then the stars revolve and the chance will be gone! Don't displease your gods: ancient, monstrous and foul...get painting!
Being in specific, an attempted categorization of the various creatures associated with the Mythos of Howard Philips Lovecraft and other authors in his circle. Participants will provide photographic evidence of a creature, be it squamous, plastic or rubbery and are encouraged to use supporting text for clarification.
Every member of this forum is invited to post photos of his/her painted miniatures here. As soon as we reach that one hundredth figure, the club accepts no new members. The dimensional gateway to freshly painted mythos monsters will close.
Some simple rules for this:
• As mentioned above, it’s about painting miniatures. Miniature monsters, fiends, squamous alien beings...whatever. But the theme is all about the creatures. If you are not familiar with the scope, browse through a few board pages or have a read of a story from Lovecraft, Blackwood, Machen, Howard and a countless number more (The mythos is ever growing... ;D) and I think you'll get the idea. If that doesn't help, ask.
• Only one miniature base each day. We will accept multiple miniatures on each base. This is to allow for entries like multiple groping tentacles, a ghoul feasting on his prey...a frightened cultist for scale. But please, no unit displays and no single heroes or investigators. Eldritch beasts, that's the way.
• Once entered, you don’t have to post every day. It’s perfectly sufficient to post just one single miniature at all in order to take part and to become a member of the Lovecraftian Painting Circle. Feel free to show the uninitiated how clever you are by backing up you model and painting choices with excerpts from mythos stories. 8)
• This is not about showing your collection of already painted stuff, so please do post only newly painted miniatures. We’re not in a hurry, so take your time.
• All scales are, as always, a go.
That's it! Get painting!

LPC 1: Deep One
They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed...They were blasphemous fish-frogs of the nameless design - living and horrible.

Wandering the deeply shaded vales of the Southern Tablelands ,picking up oddly shaped flints,that sort of thing. Just noticed three incised markings about three feet off the ground,very odd,children probably... ;)
