Hound of Tindalos

Update: total rework of image :

This was from H. P. Lovecraft stories, as elaborated by Brian Lumley in his Titus Crow novels.

Update: I added color:

Flying Polyp Study

Another concept for the mysterious Flying Polyps from Lovecraft's 'The Shadow Out of Time.' They are quite vaguely described, so the artist has some freedom; the only requirements are no eyes, no wings or other apparent means of flight, and some way of leaving round, five-toed footprints. I gave my polyp a sort of hold-fast base with five suction cups. They are also capable of partial or total invisibility, which I sort of showed here.

Second version:

At The Mountains of Madness, Etchings from College

These are both from 1982 or thereabouts.

Old Ink Drawing, Elder Thing

I did this in 1981. It's an ink drawing on board, 22 X 28.

I shot it with my phone, and added some white highlights and shading. Much better, I think.

Yithian Study

My interpretation of the Yithians from Lovecraft's 'Shadow out of Time'

This Fun Guy from Yuggoth

The title is a spoof on H. P. Lovecraft's stories and poem about the fungus-crab aliens. My interpretation would need damn good makeup to disguise itself as human, as they did in the story (well, it was a dark room).
