Description
I've looked all over for a good picture of what I feel the King In Yellow should look like, but never found one that piqued my interest, so I decided to do one myself. This is my first photomanip really..one that I spent any amount of time on. I used Apophysis 2.2 for the backgrounds and flame fractals, brought it into Photoshop and played around with filters and such. The hands are from digital photographs, the mask and some of the robe is drawn in with the help of AzraelEngel's merkaba brushes. The Yellow sign was drawn in then filtered, and the star cluster where Aldebaran is located was taken from stock photography from the web. Yes, the upper right IS actually Aldebaran in the Hyades...for those of you who dig the Cthulhu mythos."I wear no mask."

Really, this makes the Yellow King seem like a really powerful cosmic entity- I love it!

This is lovely. Dark and threatening but in exactly the right kind of surreal, hypnotic way for the Hastur mythos.

You, sir, are one of the best Lovecraft artists I've seen in a LONG time. I let slip my mask to you! A gibbering loon after my own heart.

This is a gorgeous piece, mainly because of the chaos it portrays. I love the flow of motion of this, and the colors you chose to use. Very nice.

Absolutely awesome. I love it, man. The only critique I have is that the circle around the yellow sign is too definite...everything else is blurred pretty well but it is very definite and I feel like my eye is being forced to look at the sign because it is drawn to that spot because of its clarity. When are you going to do Hastur?
