I'm extremely late in replying. Sorry!
Thanks for your comments, mate! I think this took many hours, approximately 15, but I really can't say it for sure, 'cause it was done in my free time, a little bit at a time.

A lot of your works look like cutscenes from dark nightmares one surely tries to forget after having them... :3
This artwork can queue up with those.

But nevertheless, great work as always!!! :]
Took me again some seccond to have a look at every single "aspect" this image contains.

I do like. You capture the demented madness present in a lot of Lovecraft stories perfectly.

Atmosfera perfetta, ottimo lavoro...come al solito del resto
tra i dettagli mi piacciono molto la volta dentata, che lascia intravedere un cielo davvero lontano (stile "salvezza addio"), e l'occhio mostruoso della finestra a sinistra.
Dimenticavo le pieghe vicino ai bottoni...sono una meraviglia

Your works and ideas in general never cease to amaze me! I mean, how in the WORLD do you have the patience to pay attention to all that detail? Hanyways, wonderful work, once again. How did you do this, white on black?

FatherStone In reply to kuismali [2009-03-20 10:39:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot, mate! Yes, a lot of patience is required, but it's necessary to make this technique work. This was done with a black ink-pen on white paper. Thanks for your interest in my works!

Very cool. You certainly know how to catch that "driven to the point of madness" feel. If the story is as good as the illustration it should be a bloody good read.
