Thank you for the help.

I see a squidish looking thing, or maybe a hipster beard thing, if that helps

I was thinking hairy sperm, but I'm a bit twisted.

I figured how to change it, it is supposed to be the head of Cthulhu.

Ah the cult of Cthulhu, do you think the outer god Nyarlathotep would ever smoke a pipe, I think not, perhaps the chaps at Miskatonic University might be up for a puff?
Love Lovecraft, most of his short stories are connected to the Cthulhu Mythos if you read the hidden innuendos.

 

[mihailo]

He is by far my favorite author, I actually am currently reading "The Necronomicon" a collection of his short stories.

 

[fafnir]

I have an anthology of his stories, ''The Necronomicon'' written by the ''Mad Arab'' pops up in a lot of his stories, to think he wrote about aliens from distant galaxies in the early 1920/30 boggles ones mind.

 

[mihailo]

He was a masterful writer, and truly brought his stories to life. I do believe outer god Nyarlathotep would smoke a pipe, and it is amusingly coincident that I happen to be smoking Cult BRM, while reading his works.

That avatar's VERY reminiscent of one "Pirates" character...
Data's Calabash here - Mihailo, even through you're stating that H.P. Lovecraft is your avatar's inspiration, there IS a character portrayed by a British actor in Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie franchise that DOES possess a very similar looking FACE, at the very least...
...and in one of those films, this same character even shows himself to be a pipeguy as well!
My avatar is from Star Trek: The Next Generation's early run episode "Lonely Among Us", which featured the android Lt. Cdr. Data enjoying what else, but a calabash...hence my handle and avatar's appearance!
Yours Sincerely,
Data's Calabash

I did notice that, and would love to Davy Jones's pipe, maybe a little bit cleaner cut though.

 

[fafnir]

Yes your right that darn flying dutchman did have tentacles harr...

 

[rigmedic1]

Good choice for an avatar, heh heh.

 

[perdurabo]

Love some Lovecraft. Mine is of Old Lord Cthulhu himself, human form. :lol:

I second a hairy sperm, but then Im not as refined as the rest I guess

Your avatar shows in your posts. Some sort of room scene. Hard to make out what's intended, though.
