Description Yeah, I'm still alive! I've been studying for exams and stuff, but they're over, this time for good... so I'll be around here more often .
This unnameable eldritch aberration is the result of a whole month of procrastination. I didn't put much effort into it, but I thought it was worth sharing.

EDIT: New, colored version here: electreel.deviantart.com/art/A…

Bonus points if you recognize them all. 
*Screw it, I'll identify them myself
(clockwise)
-Gug (4-armed, hairy being with vertical mouth on the top right)
-Yithian (cone-shaped being with pincer-like hands)
-Shoggoth (amorphous amalgam of bubbles, eyes, tentacles and other less recognizable organs)
-Elder Thing (winged being with starfish-like head)
-Inhabitant of the Nameless City (horned crocodile/seal hybrid)
-Ghoul (humanoid creature with pointed ears and reduced tail)
-Brown Jenkins (rat-looking creature with human-like face)
-Zoog (Galago-looking creature)
-Mi-go (the hairy, winged creature with antennae-filled head)
-Color out of Space (the "vapor" emanating from the stone well)
-Cthulhu (the gigantic, half octopus, half dragon, half humanoid mountain of gelatinous fless that is about to grab you with its webbed paws)
-Azathoth and flute-playing Outer God (those mostly indescribable things on the bottom left)
-Dagon (huge, monolith-cuddling fish/frog-like beast)
-Ghast (kangaroo-looking creature with human-like head)
-Moon Beast (the toad-like, tentacle-faced being)
-Deep-One (the smaller Dagon)
-Inhabitant of Ib (the smallish, humanoid creature with bulging eyes and funny ears)
-Flying Polyp (the polyp-like thing, obviously)
-Nightgaunt (the faceless, bat/scorpion-like creature)
-Byakhee (the crow/mole/buzzard/ant/vampire bat/decomposed human being hybrid)
-"The Horror at Martin's Beach"'s creature: (one-eyed, legged, fish-like creature) 
-The Dunwich Horror (that creepy thing with tentacles, huge eyes, hungry mouths, pillar-like legs and a human face)
-Yog-Sothoth (those bubbles)
-Dhole (The gigantic, worm-like thing on the bottom)
-Shantak Bird (The pterosaur-looking creature)

Lovecraftian


Nice batch of fair creature design interpretations. 

For some reason, a scorpion-like look seems to fit very well for the nightgaunt. And I also noticed that interesting leg-design it has.

The polyp is funny with its half-hand/half-slug look.

I like the pterosaur interpretation of the shantak, and how you made the bird head horse-like without adding any actual horse parts in it. It inspires me to my make my own pterosaur shantak.

I love the wings and the lightbulb-head on the mi-go.

The dhole seems interesting with its lateral dots and mouth parts. Wish the drawing could be bigger and have more detail.

But my absolute favourite here is the byakhee, for it's unusual limb design and for looking more mole-like than most byakhees. Wish it could be bigger too.


I don't know why but these eldritch guys look more cute and huggable to me than creepy. Cute enough that I want to adopt one as a pet, especially Brown Jenkin, the Ib creature, the moon beast, the polyp, and the byakhee. Even the brain-stealing mi-go and the deformed "uncanny valley"-faced Dunwich horror looks pretty cute here.


This is truly a nice drawing that deserves to be in my Lovecraft gallery.


I wonder how other Lovecraft creatures like Bokrug, the Sphinx from "Under the pyramids", Rhan-Tegoth, the dimensional shambler, Ghatanothoa, the haunter of the dark, gnoph-keh, the extra-dimensional things from "dreams in the witch house", Anathas the wizard beast, and the creatures in "from beyond", "collapsing cosmoses", "the challenge from beyond", and "the shunned house" would look in your style.


And what do you think about Ramsey Campbell and his creative stuff?

Ha!  Deep Ones are indeed pretty fantastic looking, but I've always enjoyed seeing a gilled/webbed Innsmouth beauty like these:

Very impressive artwork! Unfortunately I'm not too familar with Lovecrafts work so I can't really name all of them... (I've seen most of tgem though)
My favorite is probably your interpretation of the Mi-Go but that bird-like critter (the one behind the flying black trident-scorpion thing) is also pretty awesome!

Hay un cuento que hizo un pupilo de Lovecraft sobre Nyarlathotep, hace poco lo releí y me quedó sonando... ¿de causalidad lo conoces?
