Artist's Comments

This is the first piece in a series of works I'm making based on the stories by Lovecraft (I just reread all of his stories). This first piece is kind of a tryout to see what kinda feel I wanted the images to have. I couldn't really categorize it since the Shoggoth itself is 3d but I did a lot of post stuff in Photoshop, like the overlaying texture which is actually a piece of bandage which I glued to some cardboard, painted and then scanned, I did that to give it a bit of authentic feel. My next piece will be based on the story "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" where I'll use this same shoggoth model in a different way.

All images/photography/scans/3d by me - no stock used

Very cool, love Lovecrafts work myself, trying to convert his descriptions into graphics is always a challenge though.

stupid thing is it looks so digital when you resize stuff (I mean the original is 4724x4724 px) which is made in 3d (sometimes also manips), I printed it on A3 this morning and it looks much better that way.
