A new series of illustrated plates from a recently released book, "Cthulhu Wars" by Osprey Publishing. I worked on these a couple years back but because release of the book was severely delayed for some reason unknown to me I am only able to show post them up here now. Not a fan of Lovecraft's work but I honestly had a lot of fun working on these and learned some things about the Cthulhu Mythos. I hope you guys like them.
Pacific Ocean (Jul 9, 1962)
A spawn of Cthulhu emerges from the ocean as the crew of American scientists and navy personnel watches from the deck of USS Iwo Jima. Destroyers unload their payload of shells and torpedoes on it while nuclear weapons are deployed to stop the monstrosity.
You can check the book out here>> ospreypublishing.com/the-cthul…

Fun fact: No. It is stated that only an Outer God could truly destroy Cthulhu, as even if humanity did manage to destroy his whohole body, he'd regenerate out of nowhere within a few hours. It is also stated that anyone who looks at Cthulhu will be completely immersed in madness, and their sanity will evaporate completely. And with "anyone" I mean "Any existing being except for other cosmic entities".
Anyways, if you have a link to that "original story" where a steam boat "pwns" a gigantic Old One by ramming him, please give it to me.
