As some of you may know I tried to create a series of images where one image leads into the following, sharing a world, and having a story connecting them. When i started this, the time limit for each deviation was around ~45 mins with quantity in mind. Starting with this i decided to go for quality.

The underlying theme of this series is supposed to answer the question:
How can I capture the atmosphere of a H.P. Lovecraft Novell into a game enviroments?

What stands out the most in Lovecrafts stories is the amazing feeling of other-worldlyness and atmosphere he builds.
To recreate this I depicted / led up to a scene where we see through the protagonists eyes a light in the darkness of the flooded catacombs.
Lovecraft plays with the fear of the unknown and the dangers of curiosity. Therefore i did not want to hide a creature somewhere in the shadows or make something lurking in the dark. Instead I opend possibilities for the protagonist and the viewers mind.
The scene is from a low angle, we do not see what is up the flight of stairs only that it is bathed in some cold lights. But also that there are 3 more directions we could explore in or worse, be seen from.
The whole construction is apparently made for mankind but then again, why is it abbandoned, why build a drainsystem like this into a catacomb.
