Lovecraft and More
 

Hey folks, been really busy lately. I've got a digital piece going into a Lovecraft art exhibit in Switzerland in October. Here's a small sample from it..

This area looks completely different in the finished version.

I tweaked a photographic creature from the Lovecraft collage to look more drawn. I think it would make a good tshirt. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...ity/zoltor.jpg

Another section from the Lovecraft piece that has changed dramatically..

Here's a cropping from another digital piece titled "The Battle Of Blix" it is an epic war scene with cannons that are walking monsters shooting decapitated head cannonballs and other weird things..

Another cropping from the Blix collage that has changed a lot since..

And my Ligotti inspired work is still underway. I had to take some time off from it but I hope to have it finished before TOO long! My digital techniques have advanced a lot over the past year so there's a lot more I plan to do with it.

And a sketch of a multi headed beast I made a month ago..

Damn nice works!!

Re: Lovecraft and More
 

Thanks, and in the Lovecraft work I'm trying to imagine the unimaginable. Those horrors that Lovecraft writes about as things that are just too terrifying to even describe, those are the most enjoyable to try and visualize.

Re: Lovecraft and More
 

I still think your work would look great on postage stamps. Can you imagine a new type of mail - horror post or overnight terror express.

Your work is awesome.

Re: Lovecraft and More
 

An excellent idea, waffles. It might even encourage those involved to deliver the mail in a timely manner.

Superb artwork; you channeling Heironymous Bosch?

Re: Lovecraft and More
 

Fantastic (!) pieces. I am really impressed and in awe. And I second Gene Stewart's comment: Are you channeling Heironymous Bosch? Looks very much like updated versions of his bizarre works.

Best of luck with the exhibition in October. ~Henrik

Well I haven't heard of postage stamps before, that's an idea. And yes, Bosch is certainly an influence. Here's a small fragment from the center panel of the Lovecraft triptich which I finished this past weekend..

Aeron,
Your Lovecraftian artwork is truly awesome.

Thanks, going insane trying to bring this sucker to completion. Here's another small detail that is still in progress. Finished version will have a weird diamond tip at the end of the lizards tail and a slightly different background.. This is actually directly to the left of the last work I posted. You can see a reflected version of the building on the right that matches with the left of the upper image. This is used as a surface layer that I'll use to build up other architectural/texture/etc layers onto.
