This is the third piece in a triptych I did on H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos fiction. This particular piece is of the Deep ones, a race of aquatic horrors detailed in the short story 'Shadow over Innsmouth'. I'm starting to work more with the computer now; this piece was painted in acrylics, then the frame and star glyph were composited in Phot

A gentler version of nightmare horrors; a far more beautiful and graceful version of a race that has long-oft been viewd as despised. Excellent job!

I like it. Some people may be creeped out by it.. but they comfort me for some reason. I want to pet them.

I loved that story!! It is great to see some of Lovecrafts creatures brought to life! I hope you continue doing them,keep up the great work.On a side note did you know that Lovecraft and Poe used to pen some of their stories in the same graveyard in Providence R.I.(not at the same time of course)

This one reminds me of an old carnival poster, the way the frame is especially. I suppose the deep ones would make for good attention getters in a freak show. 12

I like Lovecraft, and your drawing technique, Oh plese tell me where can I learn such technique? The shadows, the light all prefect and drawn in a creepy old way, awesome!

They have an alien sort of beauty to them.

Nicely done, I think this represents Lovecraft’s story very well.
