Another extremely lazy post, I know, but you can never get enough Erol Otus!

About Me

- I'm a Canadian philosopher, fantasy gamer, and procrastinator extraordinaire, who divides his time between Milwaukee WI and Toronto ON. I lived in Dublin Ireland 2005-2008, and still miss it very much! At least I still have Guinness.
I always love how grumpy his Cthulhu looks.
ReplyDeleteI certainly can get enough Erol Otus. Not a fan. Sacrilegious, I know, in the OS community, but there it is. I feel like I'm watching a bad Saturday morning 80's cartoon when I look at his art. I strongly prefer more realistic humanoids for one, not the cartoony sort Otus draws.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fantasy artists are Brom's Dark Sun campaign setting and anything by Frazetta.

ReplyDeleteI think that's why a lot of people like Otus!
Not knocking you, just thought it was comical the reason you dislike it is also the reason some people like it. btw, I totally dig Frazetta(nice and over the top). But, Brom is meh(too real) at least from what I've seen of both.
I would personally love to see a Saturday morning cartoon based on the designs and style of Otus, myself....
ReplyDeleteI love how 'bad ass' the halfling thief looks in the Rogues Gallery picture. He's no Frodo -- he'd gladly slit your throat for a few coppers!
