Ok. I want to state right away that I did not set out to offend anyone with today’s model. I have never read any H.P. Lovecraft, though I have heard much about him over the years as an author. When I Googled his creatures, I initially chose the Shub-Niggurath for today’s model. But then I took a closer look at the name and realized just exactly what “Niggurath” looks and sounds like. Then, I decided to Google: “Was H.P. Lovecraft a racist?” Sure enough, I found that he was “a hardcore racist and anti semitic.” I can’t bring myself to honor his work by sculpting it. So, I settled on this instead. If this offends you, I’m sorry. I wanted to avoid politics with this entire event, but today I couldn’t. #Day19 of #ScultpJanuary2018 and the challenge is: “LOVECRAFTian” in the category of “Creatures.” #Blender3D #SculptJanuary #SculptJanuary18
