H.P. Lovecraft

Artist's Description

A redesign of the biggest(so far xP )failure as far as my Cthulhu mythos art go.:D This time it's a bit of Giger, a bit of Yag Kosha and finally a bit of my old design. The most remarkable would be the way it moves, instead of walking as a biped or tetrapod it uses its trunk as a crawling appendage. I picture it moving kind of like a chariot. With the trunk moving with snake motion in the front and the rest of the body dragging behind. What is uniqe for this take that this monster is sort of a mass of tumorous growth moulded in shape by exteral semi-transparent skin/armor. :)

"Words could not adequately convey the repulsiveness of the thing. It was endowed with a trunk and great, uneven ears, and two enormous tusks protruded from the corners of its mouth. But it was not an elephant. Indeed, its resemblace to an actual elephant was, at best, sporadic and superficial, despite certain unmistakable points of similarity. The ears were webbed and tentacled, the trunk terminated in a huge flaring disk at least a foot in diameter, and the tusks, which intertwined and interlocked at the base of the statue, were as translucent as rock crystal."
