Nyarlathotep

Beautiful use of colour and light. The yellow glow works extremely well to highlight and provide a strong contrast to the figure, particularly on the tentacles, and increases the initial impact incredibly. The way it works with the blue light is also rather enchanting; the cold, desolate blue next to the bright yellow gives the sudden impression of light, only supported by the extremely high contrast use of both colours throughout the piece.
Expanding on to this, the abundance of shadow and darkness overtakes the highlights of brightness, though the forms of the tentacles and other features are still distinct and recognizable. This plentiful use of darkness gives the image a rather sinister feel of mystery and horror, only supported by the slimy, creepy textures within the tentacles and enveloping darkness of the scene. The immense detail applies a lot of depth to the work; with all the various parts of animals coming out of this creature, the look is very morbid, again, supported by the high-contrast lighting and use of darkness. Spectacular work!
