Is it me, or does Nodens look like a Disney character?

Ehehe... 
Disney was a formative influence on my drawing style, I'm afraid.

Well … wouldn't Wilbur be technically Nyarlathotep's grandnephew? I mean:
Nyarlathotep was spawned by Azathoth, Yog-Sothoth came from the Nameless Mist, which in turn was spawned by Azathoth.
So, Yog-Sothoth would be Nyarlathotep's nephew (even though he's probably much more mature) and Wilbur and his invisible monster twin would be Nyarlathotep's grandnephews.
Just a question, my memory concerning their f***ed up family tree is rusty.

I know all this. I just though 'nephew' sounds less clunky than 'grandnephew'.

Lol, good point. XD

I also call my own grand-uncles and grand-aunts just 'uncle' and 'aunt'. The older they are, the more they love it.

I can imagine. I've never met one of my grand-uncles/-aunts, though. Except for one and she's dead.

I'm sorry to hear that.
I've been very lucky to meet most of mine, even though we're all over the country... The ones I'm the closest to are actually my grandma's first cousins, and after she passed away they're pretty much my closest family - in terms of both emotions and, like, actual physical distance.

My relatives are strewn over three countries and I'm the only one who lives in Berlin, so … yeah.

Eek! At least mine are still in Bulgaria!

My family on my father's side is British, my closest German relatives live relatively close to the German-Polish border and then I have some relatives in West Germany and some in Switzerland … I think.

Mine are from the Northwest and the Southeast of Bulgaria, but everyone has many siblings and many children, and they've spilled all over the place... I'm just glad most of us are still in the country, except for one aunt (Barcelona) and one cousin (Boston).

well, pathernal family not hare the only"embarassment family" of wilbur.
the dunwich whateley and the innsmouth marsh hare closely related - as mentioned in a story.
the marsh hare alike related of the hoag of kingsport from the 1750s
and the whateley , bishop and marsh of arkham hare blood relative.
many family of arkham have blood of ghoul- as richard uptom pickman from boston,cousin (seems)to pickman derby of arkham.

I personally like it better when all the connections between different entities and characters are left unexplained and hinted at; Loveraft himself aimed for ambiguity.

Nevermind, I got it. Expect to see a certain character's response to the 'family tree'...

The Crawling Chaos is a prick? Who would have known...
I just noticed the inverted ankh on Nyarl's headpiece. Very clever.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
... He wears the same ankh on all the headpieces I've drawn him with.
Nyarlathotep: And on Wednesdays, I wear pink!

Who do you think the resembles?

They've gotta have inspired to him, haven't they?

(Actually, I consciously drew Nyarly to resemble the troll face. It's one of the few desicions in my life I'm truly proud of.)

Nice, but there are much more ambitions in life, remember.
Like conquering the world, to say.

XD Nyarl picked JUUUST the time his arch-enemy was outta work to go troll Wilbur, didn't he?
Will can go complain to his (girl)friend's dad though.
Btw, love your portrayal of Pan!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you like him, he was very fun to draw!
I think Wilbur would rather bite off his own tongue than complain to Nodens. He will run to his own daddy if Nyarly persists, though.

Ah, I didn't know who Helen Vaughan was. Just Googled it and now I'm off to see if I can find a copy of "The Great God Pan" to peruse!
Also, I love Nyarlathotep trying to troll Wilbur. Nyarlathotep always seems to be trolling someone...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nyarlathotep simply cannot be at peace with himself if he doesn't try to trick/annoy/drive to insanity at least one living creature every hour or so.
P.S. I ship Wilbur/Helen.

Well, I've just downloaded "The Great God Pan" to my kindle *glances at Kindle* which now appears to be restarting itself...is this book possessed?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I read it online and devoured it in one gulp, though the formatting was awful. [link]
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, thanks though my Kindle has risen from the grave (that is to say it's working now!). Must be a good book if bad formatting doesn't hold you back!

I just wanted to learn more about Helen so that I can ship her properly with Wilbur.
