"...If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful. Behind the figure was a vague suggestion of a Cyclopean architectural background."
I've been experimenting with sculpy, and I do not dislike the results!

this gets instant fave my me and also:
They all died vast epochs of time before men came, but there were arts which could revive Them when the stars had come round again to the right positions in the cycle of eternity. They had, indeed, come themselves from the stars, and brought Their images with Them.
These Great Old Ones, Castro continued, were not composed altogether of flesh and blood. They had shape-for did not this star-fashioned image prove it?- When the stars were right, They would plunge from world to world through the sky; but when the stars were wrong, they could not live. But although They no longer lived, They would never really die. They all lay in stone houses in Their great city of R’lyeh, preserved by the spells of mighty Cthulhu for a glorious resurrection when the stars and the earth might once more be ready for Them.
They spoke to the minds of the more sensitive humans, for only thus could Their language reach the fleshly minds of mammals.
Then, those first men fromed the cult around small idols which the Great Ones shewed them. That cult would never die till the stars came right again, and the secret priests would take great Cthulhu from His tomb to revive His subjects and resume His rule of earth. Then mankind would become as the Great Old Ones; free and wild and beyond good and evil, with laws and morals thrown aside and all men shouting and killing and reveling in joy. Then the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom. Meanwhile the cult, by appropriate rites, must keep alive the memory of those ancient ways and shadow forth the prophecy of their return.
(You are the cult, residing comfortably in the shadows you kiss the madness and carry forth our beliefs. You are my brothers you are my followers and you will know the orgiastic glory that comes when the Great Ones rise! I’a I’a Cthulhu fhtagn! I’a I’a Cthulhu fhtagn! I’a I’a Cthulhu fhtagn!)
Know now the three tenets. Keep them close to your heart and deep in your mind regardless of the depths you sink into glorious insanity these shall be your truest anchor:
1. ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtag
2. That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.
3. When the stars are right he will rise.
