A slightly older comm I got from Virlandil who is, without a doubt, one of the best people I have ever commissioned. They've done art for a ton of friends and it is always, ALWAYS incredible. Their range of styles is beyond impressive and everything they do is just fantastic. I implore you to check them out, moreso than I have with any other artist in the past. They deserve SO MUCH more attention for their superb work.

Adin is sort of an outlier in the "canon" of my characters in that it's intentionally vague where each depiction of her sits in the grand timeline of her existence. In true lovecraftian fashion I've got some bit of lore about why that might be, and why thinking about it is sort of pointless.

The Queen in Yellow, formerly known as Adin Aunhatch before her ascension, is a Great Old One whose status was taken by usurping the throne from Hastur, the previous King in Yellow. Unlike her predecessor and former patron Adin has maintained an interest in mortal affairs after taking the blackened throne of Carcosa. A fragment of her unfathomable consciousness remains in many worlds, taking the form of an avatar in the shape of her mortal body.
Though they are infinitesimal in comparison to the greater whole of the being she has grown to be, these avatars are profoundly powerful warlocks who each wield a fragment of the Queen in Yellow's terrible power. They are fully sapient beings, each one is Adin in her own right just as much as the next, and just as much as the original Adin was. So who is to say that one of them could not, by her own volition, achieve godhood on its own? Who is to say that an avatar of the Queen in Yellow could, in time, dethrone its own creator?
Indeed who is to say that hasn't already happened? The Adin we know to be the "original" had a past shrouded in mystery that even she didn't seem aware of. Was lost Hastur just another form of the same being who created the "first" Adin as an avatar of itself, only to be usurped by a rogue sliver of its own consciousness?
We will likely never know, for the whims of the Queen in Yellow are beyond our comprehension. And Adin doesn't seem particularly keen on elaborating, if she even knows the truth herself. All that is clear is that Adin and the Queen are one, and we would all do well to remember that.
