Cthulu concept
Still trying to improve on the standard. I have always thought he should have webbed hands that mimic ether his wings or his tentacles. I am looking at vampire squid for inspiration.
Z'toggua concept
"...humanoid and obese with a mouth opening in the middle of its belly..." I condcentrated on "obese". It still needs bat wings (what's new in Lovecraftian mythos?) I wanted to get a feel for the body form before adding the wings here. I wanted to make sure the body was somewhat believable in construction so that one could call it "humanoid'.
Feaster from the Stars concept
"...Bat winged armless toad with tentacle instead of a face.." I became obsessed with how it might look flying since without arms there would be a lot of flailing and flopping. I think of it as a sort of giant flying mouth with dreadlocks.
Gol-goroth concept
"...gigantic, black toadlike creature with an impossibly malevolent stare.." The toad portion is a bit spot on, but I really wanted to get to understand what it would be like to be stared into submission by toad.
Saaitii concept
"...a giant, ghostly hog...." I started to get into what the tusks might look like. Something that was jagged and broken, that gave the impression that it could rip through flesh AND bone.
Byatis concept
"...had but one Eye like the Cyclops, and had claws like unto a Crab ... a nose like the Elephants...." Need to work on the beard of tentacles. The earlier one was bit like a demented Snuffalopogus.
Y'golonac concept
"..a naked, obese, headless humanoid with a mouth in the palm of each hand." Would the mouth/palm then be obese?
Ob'mbu concept
"..a giraffe-like reptilian monster." Perhaps something along the lines of a giraffe-o-dile?
Shudde M'ell concept
"..a colossal worm with tentacles for a head." I kept trying to come up with something the tentacles emerged from or were connected to an I thought it would be interesting that they sprouted from its brain. Later I found out that there is supposed to be some sort of case for the brain on the body.
Deep one concept
I know they are not one of the "Old Ones" but I could hardly be working on a folio of Cthulu mythos creatures and not include one.
