Lovecraft - Byakhee IIby ~KingOvRats

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Books & Novels

A bit redone proportions and wings positioning which exposes the rest of the body.

- Antenae for ant
- beak for crow
- claws for buzzard
- front limbs, short and massive neck for a mole
- membranes for a bat
- underbody view for a human corpse...

Still only partially satisfied.

(...)there flopped rhythmically a horde of tame, trained, hybrid winged things (...). They were not altogether crows, nor moles, nor buzzards, nor ants, nor vampire bats, nor decomposed human beings; but something I cannot and must not recall. They flopped limply along, half with their webbed feet and half with their membranous wings..."

Nifty! I love your depictions of Lovecraft's odd beasties.

Thanks again.

Pretty badass here, Love the shading from the beak on to the neck. By all means, the entire thing is good, it's just that section seems to catch my eye, awesome.

Thank you

I also consider it a pretty good work, yet I wasn't completely satisfied so expect a new one...

~dark-precipice Dec 17, 2012 Hobbyist

Brilliant interpretation!

~KingOvRats Dec 18, 2012 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Thank you! It's actually not a final version. I have made a new one, and will likely upload it along with redoings of some other works (including Shoggoth) around the end of the year.

Also I adore your Whatheley Twins images and thus am honored to get such a comment from you.

And so am I, to know that my scribbles have made an impression on someone as talented as you!
