Lovecraft - Deep Oneby ~KingOvRats

Fan Art / Traditional Art / Drawings / Books & Novels

The fish-man. I don't really like deioctions of deep ones where they remind present-day fish. They are ancient race, older than humanity so I gave it that weird face, which reminds me of some prehistoric animals.

"I think their predominant colour was a greyish-green, though they had white bellies. They were mostly shiny and slippery, but the ridges of their backs were scaly. Their forms vaguely suggested the anthropoid, while their heads were the heads of fish, with prodigious bulging eyes that never closed. At the sides of their necks were palpitating gills, and their long paws were webbed. They hopped irregularly, sometimes on two legs and sometimes on four. I was somehow glad that they had no more than four limbs. Their croaking, baying voices, clearly wed tar articulate speech, held all the dark shades of expression which their staring faces lacked."

H.P. Lovecraft, The Shadow Over Innsmouth

Szczerze mówiąc, mnie zawsze kojarzyły się raczej z żabami, nie z rybami, ale tak czy owak jest to niewątpliwie budzący grozę i obrzydzenie, typowo lovecraftowski ludek.
W każdym razie nieźle ci wyszedł.

Nie, aj zawsze w nich takie ryboludy widziałem.

Żabowata będzie bestia z Księżyca :> w sumie już jest.
