| 28 Aug 2006 |  Sam Harrison |  Loading...This is great! I love seeing any kind of Lovercraft/surreal horror art. I like how you've used a comparatively small amount of color in proportion to the gray and black.  Malachi Robb replies: "Thank you for the comment, they're appreciated! I'm convinced grey is an underrated color. =)" | |
| 28 Aug 2006 |  Kristin Lewis | Loading... What an amazing amount of detail. Beautiful work and congrats! Malachi Robb replies: "Thank you very much for the comment! I'm just a bit detail obsessed. =)" | |
| 28 Aug 2006 |  Gregory D. Lyons | Loading... This is, I must say, a fantastic representation of Nyarlathotep. One of the best I've seen, actually. Stylized rendering and smooth lines makes it look less like an illustration and more like graphic design; a sign for an occult bookstore, perhaps. This piece would be perfect as the cover of a Lovecraft collection. It's better than any of Palencar's cover art for the Del Rey paperbacks. Malachi Robb replies: "Thank you very much for the comment! They're always appreciated. And thank you for the encouraging complement! I was definitely thinking "graphic design", as I often do, thinking of perhaps a carving upon the door of an ancient temple, forbidding one to go further. Or perhaps enticing one in. I can think of few things I'd rather have the opportunity to do than illustration on a Lovecraft collection. . . it's a dream, but, I'm determined. =)" | |
| 28 Aug 2006 |  Marika Viklund | Loading... Yay! Nyarlathotep!!  He's soo cool! I've read almost everything from Lovecraft and Nyarlathotep is one of my favourites! It's very dark and nice! I really like the outfit you gave him and the somewhat human look!  He's often described as a beautiful egyptian pharao in golden robes acctually! But he's got so many funny forms and I really liked this one!  Squiddy squiddy! I liked his eyes too... nice! The... um... pose or what I should call it is very good too, with those squid arms behind him like in a hindu god painting or something! Anyway, this is one of the best pics of N. that I've seen on EW! Malachi Robb replies: "Thank you very much for the comment! Nyarlathotep is one of my favorite figures to draw, usually inspired off the "Dream Quest" descriptions. This time around, I was inspired by a representation of the thousand-armed Bodhisattva, and, so the resemblence to Asiatic god representations isn't coincidental. =)" | |
| 28 Aug 2006 |  Jenny Velders | Loading... to be honest, I never heard about Nyarlathothep. This is so dark, it's so beautiful! Are the upperarms too short? This is great work, keep it up! Malachi Robb replies: "Thanks for the comment, they're appreciated. Now that it's pointed out, I'd agree that the left arm appears somewhat off, and, I believe I didn't position the shoulder-guards exactly right, and the left one should be raised a bit more instead of at-level, since that shoulder should be a bit higher than the other. But, too late now! =)" | |
| 29 Aug 2006 |  Simi Landau *Muffin Queen* | Loading... Mmm, Nyarlathotep. I like the arms...tentacles...and the details of his costume. Congrats on Mod's Choice! Malachi Robb replies: "Thank you very much for the comment! I was suprised to find he recieved the Mod's Choice, and am definitely grateful for the notice he got. =) Seems a good start for my little corner of the Woods." | |
| 25 Nov 2006 |  GuesssWho | Loading... Ia! Ia! The Three-Lobed Burning Eye, the Crawling Chaos! Cthulhu fhtagn! Malachi Robb replies: "Hmmmm. . . I should really do a Nyarlathotep piece that combines the "three-lobed burning eye" image sometime! " | |
| 8 Dec 2006 |  Shelz Keast | Loading... Although I don't know anything about Lovecraft I still think this is an aswome picture. You've really managed to develope a strong persona with this character. Malachi Robb replies: "Thank you very much for the comment! It's always good to know that someone's enjoyed a piece even though they're not familiar with the character and seeing it through the eyes of a fan. =)" | |
| 25 Apr 2007 |  Rebecca Hobbrechaun Dias | Loading... great pencil work on black canvas, but i think a little more white to bring out the details might help, but IDK? Some people are so talented w/ colored pencils! great facial features and anatomy/porportions.
congrats on Mods choice!

| 6 Dec 2007 |  Justin A 'Merlion Emrys' Williams | Loading... This is excellent, your composition and colour skills are great.
I'm not sure, however, that I quite understand what you said about depictions of Nyarlathotep...as a shapeshifter, he assumes many forms...most artists just seem to choose to depict his monstrous masks rather than the "Black Pharoah" type look you have here. But it is definitely superb | |
