Description

I’d like to dedicate this piece to our recently ended Call of Cthulhu pen & paper roleplaying campaign. We kinda scewed it all up getting all tricked by Nyarlathotep! That bastard old God fooled the party through a portal and they got all thrown back to ancient Egypt, except me who barely manage to jump back out before it closed behind me. Actually the others got off better than me as the world kinda ended shortly after this and I was still stuck in 1929. Oh well, it was fun for as long as it lasted…

This scene is not really from that session at all, but It’s inspired by the setting and the monsters you can find in this setting. The dude on the picture is referenced from a photo I shot of a childhood friend of mine. I think he looks cool on the picture, giving it all even though he doesn’t really stand a chance against mr. tentacle

Painted during quite a few evenings using Photoshop with a Wacom tablet. Own reference used for the character: http://www.henningludvigsen.com/misc/all_out_ref.jpg

The henman is back

Great work on this one - whey, it's male - however, I love the way you created movement, his body, the atmosphere here.

My most points for you :)

Cool painting henningdude

As mentioned the pose and movement looks great

I think those water splashes are a bit slapped on so to speak
Also the creature looks a bit too airbrushy for my taste

The warm light in the background is a good idea as it helps to centerpoint the action and you can define the shapes even better, give more volume.
I was thinking, how about a cool, blueish light instead of the yellow/orange to give the scene an even more eerie look?
Well just some random thoughts from me..


But it's a highly admirable piece (like all of your works)

Keep em coming!

(@ Simba: did ANY god ever exist ? WTF are you talking about ? This is just a role playing game that Henning (very successfully) inspired from, so you can invent whatever you want from that, even calling a god StrawberryPie or whatever.)

I agree with the other Vincent (Wallace) ;) : water splashes could have been better rendered, as well as tentacles which are a bit too visibly paint-stroked. You lost 1 point for that (+8/9) but this is still an amazing scene you painted (specially the guy's expression)

Thanks for all messages, guys :)
I agree that I was sloppy painting that water splash. I should fix it.

Simba: Nyarlathotep was a God invented by sci-fi author H. P. Lovecraft. If he DID ever exist we would all have been in deep shit by now, hehe. I also didn't say that THIS was an illustration of this fictitious god, I just said that I felt inspired from playing roleplaing in that setting.
