Description Still plugging away at the shoggoth. Lots of little details = lots of time to complete.

Shoggoths are large, amorphous and amoeba-like. They can form mouths, eyes, and various appendages at will. They were genetically designed by an ancient race of alien life on Earth. Originally aquatic in nature, the shoggoths learned to live on land and eventually destroyed their ancient masters.

"β€œWe were on the track ahead as the nightmare plastic column of foetid black iridescence oozed tightly onward through its fifteen-foot sinus; gathering unholy speed and driving before it a spiral, re-thickening cloud of the pallid abyss-vapour. It was a terrible, indescribable thing vaster than any subway trainβ€”a shapeless congeries of protoplasmic bubbles, faintly self-luminous, and with myriads of temporary eyes forming and unforming as pustules of greenish light all over the tunnel-filling front that bore down upon us," -H.P. Lovecraft, At the Mountains of Madness

That's getting truly horrendous, so I think you're getting close to it. Tekel-li-li!

I can't wait until you finish this, you've put so much detail into it! I've always thought a shoggoth would look close to what you're drawing here. Great work!

I love all the detail and depth you're putting into the "mouths", really difficult to draw amorphous shapes like that and still make them tangible..

LMAO! I love the little joke you put on the side.

And you know, the night I finished "At the Mountains of Madness," I couldn't sleep? Damn what a great author Lovecraft is.

How long did it take you to get some sleep after "The Rats in the Walls?"
