Grant Fuhst 2005-10-14 Nice one Pat! Really captures that Lovecraft feel.   (Patrick McEvoy) Thanks Grant! I've been inspired by Lovecraft since my late teens, and it's nice to get a chance to do these Cthulhu pieces when I can. I really love your new piece too, by the way. :) Andreas Knoll 2005-10-14 Awesome stuff, it's been too long since you did something this unpleasent...I love it.   (Patrick McEvoy) Hey, thanks Andreas! "Unpleasant" it my middle name. Which really explains why I have issues with my parents. Joe Kennett 2005-10-15 beautiful work   (Patrick McEvoy) Thanks Joe - appreciated! Tom Lavelle 2005-10-15 Wow..This came out great Patrick!! Awesome misty and wet effects and the mask stands right out , Im sure there is a story behind that..Ill be keeping an eye out for it...very cool work pal...   (Patrick McEvoy) Thanks Tom! Not much of a story I'm afraid... This guy, Nyarlathotep, uses various "avatars" to do whatever it is he's doing, so the game set is called "Masks of Nyarlathotep". So when I was asked to do the creature I cleverly included a mask! :) I tried to make it vaguely disturbing, as befits a Lovecraft character... Simon Dominic 2005-10-16 Lovely and slimy - I particularly like the watercolour effects, and the way some of the... er... thing blends into the background.   (Patrick McEvoy) I like slime! Thanks, Simon. :) Epilogue Guest 2005-10-17 Fantastic stuff Patrick. Love the gritty textures and slimy stuff. You've taken well to the horror field :)   (Patrick McEvoy) Thanks mysterious guest who may or may not be Chris! Chris Malidore 2005-10-17 ....doh, that was me... "Fantastic stuff Patrick. Love the gritty textures and slimy stuff. You've taken well to the horror field :)" Silly logging in, it's out to get me.   (Patrick McEvoy) I've done that before too... Damn you, Technology! DAMN YOU, I say!! Marley Mcleay 2005-10-19 Thats another fine piece, patrick!. I have a question?. What is 1 + 1?....no, hang on thats not it. I meant to ask wether the stars reflected in the puddle have a double meaning for dreaming (as we do at night time ;).Absolutely porktastic patric.   (Patrick McEvoy) Hi Marley - thanks! The stars were an interesting thing, mostly added because this character is sort of "cosmic" - that is, not Earth-bound" - and yet he wasn't supposed to be just floating around in space. He specifically lives in a "cave" somewhere. So, I tried shoehorning these things together as best I could by adding the reflected stars. But now that I think about it, I like your idea better. So let's think of it your way - metaphor, that's the ticket! ken meyer jr 2006-06-08 Only just now saw this...it is one drippy, slippery cool piece!   (Patrick McEvoy) Thanks, Ken! That's how I feel when I have a cold, so it's kind of a self-portrait. ;) Post a Comment
