That's right, it's another mummy. And an octopus. For someone who loves the work of HPL as much as I do, it's rather ironic that I find tentacles extremely difficult to draw. But mummies - mummies are easy. I tried to split the difference by drawing from a photo of a dead, formaldehyde-preserved octopus. Meh, coulda been worse.
Gunnar Olof Hylten-Cavallius was a Swedish folklorist(among other things) in the 19th century. And his beard was awesome. I work at a bookstore. And am less-magnificently bearded.
Alright, this is some new sketches, alongside months-old crap. Apologize for the weird greyshift across the images - it was a strange lighting day. Photo'd from current sketchbook. Top one is proof that there's no otherwise-okay drawing that I can't screw up with poorly rendered tattoos. Second is a character study for the script I wrote in the spring. No, it's not necessarily dead, just a couple rounds of rewrites and a veritable shit-ton of prep work ahead. The other two are just more sketches, from reference.
