A marker, ink, and paint pen drawing of a young, green, wingless Cthulhu-like monster (squid head with tentacles, anthropomorphic body, webbed fingers and toes with claws)(but not Cthulhu!) sitting on two large books, in a large circle of salt with six candles set in the salt, facing left towards a blue portal they have summoned. In the portal stands a yellow figure with sheer yellow fabric over a skull-like face. (I forgot to make the crown gold, but it’s supposed to be gold). The candle flames are all leaning to the right, like a wing is blowing out of the portal, but the green squid monster is leaning forward towards the portal, with their mouth tentacles straight forward, like they’re being pulled into the portal. The books are “A Primer on the Dark Arts for Young Old Ones” by Chambers*, and “Portal Summoning for Dummies”. It seems our young squid monster may not have read all the way to the end! *Robert W. Chambers wrote a short story called “The King in Yellow” in 1895, and it has been folded into the whole Lovecraftian mythos. That’s supposed to be the King in Yellow in the portal. No one can agree how powerful the King may be, but it’s fun to speculate in what is, essentially, an open-source multiverse.
Whew! I overreached with today’s drawing, but I wanted something to get me out of yesterday’s drawing doldrums. #sketchaday #artsky #blueskyart #artbluesky #art #thekinginyellow #summoning #ftaghn
