I decided against ranking any because it'd just be impossible for me, so they're in semi-alphabetical order. Only around 22 people entered, but between them there's around forty monsters illustrated. I WILL ALWAYS WANT MORE ENTRIES FOREVER AND EVER. It will never be too late, and every time anybody sends me a new entry it will be announced on the site twitter and RSS feed, so it's sure to be seen!

I just discovered that Cthulhu is featured on the cover of a Vangelis album: [link]

I find that awesome. Don't know if anybody else does...

That same illustration was in a book I had as a kid, called something like "galactic aliens," set up as scientific descriptions of alien species, but whoever wrote it seemed to have no knowledge of what the paintings originally were and made it up themselves. This one was accompanied by text describing a race of tentacled, flying lizard-people :p
:iconlee-sherman:
The "crazily elusive angles of carven rock" in the background make me pretty sure it's supposed to be Cthulhu. The book you're describing sounds like one of the Terran Trade Authority books. Many of their illustrations were repurposed paintings from earlier sources. Galactic Aliens is the title of an unrelated book with a similar presentation to the T.T.A. series.

I thought I might have confused the two, since I got the book I'm talking about from the exact same used book store on the exact same day as Galactic Aliens. Terran Trade Authority sounds very familiar so that had to be it.

It started to fall apart, so I actually pulled out a lot of the full-page illustrations and have them on my wall!
:iconlee-sherman:
Cool, I did the same thing with a deteriorating book of Brancusi's sculptures.

wicked awesome style! at first i guess i will see some "pushead" style! but this is better!
:iconpuffazoid:
You are on my top ten internet people ever in eternity forever at #1.
So, with that in mind, I wish to share with you an amusing anecdote!
A-hem, when I was about 5, I used to go up north in minnesota with my father to go fishing, so we would go to the big bait store and get some fake worms and gear and whatnot, while I would look at the weird tackles and jigs. One day I looked in the live bait area, and found what would be my imaginary pet for several years:
The leech.
I would pretend to have a hamster tank full of blood and water where I would keep my friend Mr. Leechy. He like luigi's mansion.
:iconscythemantis:
I've never seen a leech in person at all, it's like a kickass fantasy creature to me :p

Some people DO keep them as pets! Some species eat earthworms, insects or fish. A few people keep the bloodsucking varieties and feed them off their own arms, they can live off one bloodmeal every few months for years and years :0
:iconlee-sherman:
You know you can buy them for pennies at bait shops.

So I'm told, but I've never ever found a bait shop that carried leeches in any area I've ever been to, which includes parts of MD, PA, WV, FL, SC and NJ :(
