Description

"After all, they were not the evil things of thier kind. They were the men of another age and another order of being. Scientists to the last--what had they done that we would not have done in their place? What intelligence and persistance! Radiates, vegetables, monstrosities, star-spawn...whatever they had been, they were men!"
-From "At the Mountains of Madness" by H.P. Lovecraft

Yes, I finally finished my sculpt that I posted a preview of some weeks ago. It gave me an excessive amount of grief, mostly in breakages and re-gluing, but I feel it was worth it. I am also working on a tutorial on realistically painting sculptures using this critter, and will probably post it once I've polished it up.

Lovecraft's "Elder Things" or "Old Ones" are featured in the story "At the Mountains of Madness" which can be read here ~~~~~> [link] READ IT. REEEAAAD IIITT!!!!! (And while you're at it, if you've never read Lovecraft, check out some of his other stuff on that site. I recommend "Call of Cthulhu", "The Case of Charles Dexter Ward" "The Shunned House" "The Dunwich Horror" and "The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath")

I will have better pictures...soon..ish....! My friend with the fancy camera has offered to set up a lightbooth and take some professional pictures of my sculpts for portfolios, and I'll post some of the selection from that.
