Lovecraft - Creature of Dunwichby ~KingOvRats

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Books & Novels

A monstrosity which rampaged in Dunwich Village. Overall shape was inspired by tiny water bears [link]

"Bigger’n a barn...all made o’ squirmin’ ropes...hull thing sort o’ shaped like a hen’s egg bigger’n anything, with dozens o’ legs like hogsheads that haff shut up when they step...nothin’ solid abaout it—all like jelly, an’ made o’ sep’rit wrigglin’ ropes pushed clost together...great bulgin’ eyes all over it...ten or twenty maouths or trunks a-stickin’ aout all along the sides, big as stovepipes, an’ all a-tossin’ an’ openin’ an’ shuttin’...all grey, with kinder blue or purple rings... an’ Gawd in heaven—that haff face on top!... (...) Oh, oh, my Gawd, that haff face - that haff face on top of it... that face with the red eyes an' crinkly albino hair, an' no chin, like the Whateleys... It was a octopus, centipede, spider kind o' thing, but they was a haff-shaped man's face on top of it, an' it looked like Wizard Whateley's, only it was yards an' yards acrost... "

H.P. Lovecraft, The Dunwich Horror

oh man! this is great, i wish i could do something as detailed as that. i once tried to draw the whateley transformation scene on the library, it went out very bad and is now forgotten on the deep abyss of my drawer.

I agree it's one of my best works. I've done Wilbur as well but it didn;'t turned out so good.

haha, i happened to found this on the internet, it's a farly good interpretation, but i always imagined his body less antropomorphic, something with more tentacles. but it's the first sucessful drawing of the scene i've seen.

Wspaniałe, jak zawsze

Nie żebym się czepiał, ale czy "Half face on top" nie oznaczałby "pół twarzy na szczycie"?

~KingOvRats May 14, 2013 Hobbyist Traditional Artist

On ma tam taką na pół uformowaną buzię. Nie wiem czy to widać, jedni ją dostrzegają inni nie.

~GrasantTarcze 6 days ago New member Hobbyist General Artist

ja ją widzę i trza przyznać, bluźniercza to wizja pół-człowieka

~KingOvRats 6 days ago Hobbyist Traditional Artist

Zawsze mnie śmieszyło że każdego niemal stwora określał jako "bluźnierczego"... mocne słowa jak na zdeklarowanego ateistę

~GrasantTarcze 1 day ago New member Hobbyist General Artist

cóż, bluźnić można przeciw każdej powszechnie uznawanej tezie(nie tylko religii, ale i nauce czy w ogóle ludzkiemu światopoglądowi). A z resztą, już Tesla zauważył, że "nauka to też religia, tylko zakłada istnienie innych sił".
