SF&F Picture 5 out of 58 by Henning Ludvigsen

SciFi and Fantasy Art Call of Cthulhu box cover by Henning Ludvigsen

This is the official cover box illustration for Fantasy Flight Games table top / board game named Call of Cthulhu, Arkham Horror, which is based on the worlds of renowned horror master H.P. Lovecraft.

My girlfriend, Natascha, made the conceptual sketch, so this is the first painting we’ve worked together on :-)

Painted during quite a few evenings using Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. Reference used for the characters.

Painted december 2005.

8 May 2006	Ra'akone <sebastian.lesc	Loading... This pic has that quality to it. I especially like the juxtaposition of the tentacled creature with those people from a 20's/30's "hard boiled" movie. I also like the background, and the shading. COOL! ~Ra'akone
8 May 2006	Helen Rich	Loading... The guy in the front. I'm worried about him. He's clearly scared of something not in the picture - and in Lovecraft's world, that's.. frightening. Great piece! Well done on being published.
8 May 2006	Anonymous	Loading... Hey does anyone else think that the girl looks like Jean Grey from the X-Men movies? Nice Pic
8 May 2006	Derek ´Wiseman´ Bangay	Loading... Wow... Your people look so real. I especially like the guy with the gun. I've got find myself a hat like that. Well done!
8 May 2006	Alinta Brown	Loading... Fantastic work, both of you. Jaw droppingly great as always!
10 May 2006	Tara 'Amaranthine' Turek	Loading... I don't know what to say....this is just....amazing!
18 Apr 2007	Jeanette vogel	Loading... I'm totally addicted to the game. It's great and fun to play. FFG did a fantastic job on this game. And being an artist myself I was stunned by the high quality artwork. Now I found the wonderful artist and have the possibility to tell you how much I like and admire your work. Especially the way of lighting is getting the atmosphere up. Thanks for bringing the horror to our living room so vividly. (In a positive way lol). Thanks for sharing your art with us... Cheers Jenny
19 Jan 2008	Vincent Detmers	Loading... awesome work on this! i love the bullet wound, the blood is just so real it could be coming from my own arm!
17 Mar 2008	Justin A 'Merlion Emrys' Williams	Loading... Very fitting and accurate, and very well done, although I agree with Marika that green would probably have been a better tentacle colour choice. But then I suppose it does take all kinds
8 May 2008	Amanda	Loading... i enjoy the pink tentilcles, i think it’s rather fitting. i also really enjoy the noir aspect of it. but maybe i’m just a sucker for that kind of thing.
