Cthulhu Success!

Yes! Cthulhu : The Dark Corners Of The Earth does have paints worth ripping off the walls! I really wasn't sure that was going to be the case. The images are about 2/3rds of the way through the game when the player investigates the Marsh house during a raid lead by Hoover. Yes, THAT Hoover.
Up to this point, all the paintings were in and around Innsmouth, and invariably moody and dramatic, but unfortunately completely unsuitable for painting. Washed out black and white photographs are great for setting the despairing tone of the town, but a drag to paint.
With great good luck, the horrible Marsh family has enriched themselves with occult gold, and have thereby furnished their crumbling mansion with images more lending themselves to the brush.
I'm still not sure which one's I'll paint, but I've got three or four to choose from and will post them later on.
I'm very happy about this because it looked like there wasn't going to be any good souvenirs to be had after an extremely unsettling and creepy adventure. Getting out with your sanity intact is fine and everything, but a painting would be ideal!
