Owl House/ HP LOVEcraft Trilogy

| Peter Ahola

A trilogy of artwork I did featuring the Owl house crossed over with the world of HP Lovecraft, mainly his monster god Cthulu. The first picture was done late last year and the latter two were completed this year, with the final one being done last week.

This originally started as a simple joke, but there were some comments on facebook noting it could be a real crossover that would make sense, so the latter two pieces were made much more serious and a bit more mature. The second image was done BEFORE the Owl House finale and even just before the second special. So concepts such as Stringbean and the time-skip at the end hadn’t yet aired, resulting in the creation of an original adult Luz design in a more apocalyptic world.

Cthulu Rises

Artwork of HP Lovecraft’s most famous creature, the ancient god of the old world Cthulu. This had been in my sketchbook since I drew HP Lovecraft himself (posted earlier this month), but I felt the sketch needed some work before becoming a full on drawing, so it took a little while longer to do. I actually just read the Call of Cthulu book a few weeks ago and really enjoyed the story and Lovecraft’s writing style, which helped with the drive needed to finish this.

I kinda wanted to go for the whole monster in the mist feeling, keeping giant Cthulu mostly in shadow against the bad storm, giving off the perspective of what those sailors on board are seeing. A giant mysterious creature that only spells their impending doom.

Anyway, hope you all like my lastest “masterpiece.”
