Cthulhu Statuette (with Mysterious Writings Added)

thingiverse

cerberus333 made the absolutely awesome 3D rendition of the Cthulhu fetish as described in The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft. They based it off of a sketch that Lovecraft made himself, and as such, I consider it to be the most accurate model that's readily available. However, one thing was missing from their rendition: The cryptic writings on the sides of the cube! I carefully recreated the writings from the original sketch (shown above) in Illustrator, then used Blender to engrave them into the side! There is also a version which has the bottom flattened even more, for easier printing. I took measures to make certain that the model was no shorter because of it. The "cthulhu text.svg" file is the vector of the recreated text I made. The "cthulhu text expanded.svg" is the outlined version that will always look the same. The "cthulhu-text.obj" file is the 3D extrusion of "cthulhu text expanded.svg". Feel free to use these elements as you wish!
