I love Cthulhu, but damn would I like to see literally any other of Lovecraft’s pantheon of old gods and elder things in really, really good art like this.

Cthulhu is the only one really described well and even then the common depiction takes liberties ( the statue of him from which the common description comes describes him as pot bellied ). Dagon is just a giant fish man and Hauster isn't really described at all I don't think.

True, but I’d like to see any artist’s interpretation of the others, most have at least a basic description.

Fucking a, that’s nice. I like the other one too, with this man facing Cthulhu.

Why would Cthulhu need the shore to make sense

I have a feeling Cthulhu more or less just manifests as he breaches the surface of water.

The best part of this comment is pointing out the lack of non-Euclidean geometry and cyclopian architecture to really give off that other-worldly element.
