Drawing a Shoggoth

Friday, March 25, 2011

An artist known only as Corax or Rick recently uploaded a very impressive video showing the creation of a Shoggoth on paper. What's more, it seems the artist was armed only with a humble pen and pencil. No mere amorphous blog, the Shoggoth depicted here is an intricate obscenity. The thing is also at the height of its ferocity, ablaze with the sharp teeth, eyes, and other strange organs detailed by H.P. Lovecraft.

Artwork like this will always have an underground or guerrilla/grassroots quality. Lovecraftian artwork continues to gain attention, but the widening pool makes exposure for less known pieces harder to get. Still, perhaps one day this type of content will appear in art volumes such as, The Art of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos, alongside the work of the seasoned professionals.
