Description Description used as inspiration:
Great greyish-white slippery things which could expand and contract at will, and whose
principle shape—though it often changed—was that of a sort of toad without any eyes, but with a curious vibrating mass of short pink tentacles on the end of its blunt, vague snout.
— H. P. Lovecraft, ‘The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath’

This is six of eight creature/character that will be used later as a master reference for a series of compositions depicting scenes from the story ”The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath’ by H.P. Lovecraft. Not only is this the main project for my independent art study class but also has the intention that these could possibly be used for either the video game or movie industry.

Incredible rendition! I really enjoy how you brought their anatomy together. I also very much enjoy your pencils; they capture the movements of such a monstrosity quite well.

Thanks, trying to capture something that was suppose to be amorphous was challenging at the time I did this.

Pretty easy did the organs first then painted a light opacity over with reflected highlights.

Woo! Certainly the best Moonbeasts I've ever seen - fantastic. The lighting and texture are just great - they look unpleasantly cold, clammy, oily - greasy even. Film-like around their "foot", more solid up their trunk but through all those wriggly curves coming across as disgustingly invertebrate. It's very easy to imagine these chaps "rippling" as they move.

Wow, this is phenomenal! I don't think I'd ever have the imagination to draw something like this, even if I got inspiration from a text like that. o_o

It is one of the things I am trying to master as well as something I do pride myself for being able to do.
