Artist's Comments

"It was only when I felt him envelop me in his cold soft grasp that I cried out and struggled with deadly fury, but my hands were useless and he tore the onyx clasp from my coat and struck me full in the face. Then, as I fell, I heard Tessie’s soft cry and her spirit fled: and even while falling I longed to follow her, for I knew that the King in Yellow had opened his tattered mantle and there was only God to cry to now."

Robert W. Chambers, The Yellow Sign

Gosh, thank you! I'm glad you liked the colors and all the different elements...the way you commented on that was cool, I thought.

Utterly monsterous - I love it! :shocked:

As I cast my eye around this piece I find that every inch is like a minefield of a million imagined horrors that pounce out of the page, launched by the incredible inference of the forms and colors you've conceived. Honestly I've been staring at it for half an hour here whilst trying to compose some comment that makes any kind of sense of how great this is.

:worship:

Thank you so much! I am so happy that you enjoyed the disjointed aspect of the piece, since I took a chance on combining so many disparate elements in an effort to make it more disturbing. I hoped it would create the effect you described and not look poorly cobbled. You've made me feel most happy and reassured.

Hi! Sorry for the delay - message centre explosion :XD:

Anyway, you're very very welcome! We all have many "favs" I guess but this really is a favorite. Beautiful and horrifying and it just draws me in - I can stare at it and explore it and be fascinated by it, repulsed by it, mortified by it... yeesh. It makes me want to write poetry :)

I never get on here as you can tell, so I'm sorry this reply is so late. Anyway though, the things you've done recently are MAGNIFICENT, I'm beginning to think there's nothing you can't do, including writing awesome poetry. ;)

Hoo - I think I beat you on the late-reply-o-meter there. I've been just flat out with work for right through the summer. Somebody broke the economy apparently. It led to more income-oriented activities stealing all my time away.

I've been thinking about this image and the Cassilda image again lately. The roleplayers at Yog-Sothoth.com are shortly to launch into their Hastur-mythos-themed audiogame podcast series "Tatters of the King" and I've been producing some music to accompany that.

The Hastur atmosphere seems to be right at the most wistful, brooding, romantic, surreal and dreamy end of Cosmic Horror. Lovecraft sometimes described things mainly in terms of how impossible it would be to describe them. When I get to thinking about the strange is-it-or-isn't-it nature of Carcosa on the shores of the misty lake, I think I really do understand what that sort of anti-description can imply.

Anyhow - hope you had a great summer. :-)
