Another watercolor/acrylic with a Chtulhu mythos theme: This one is Basatan, the elder god, also known as the master of crabs. (Basatan is one of the gods introduced by Clark Ashton Smith)

Used a photo by [link] to reference the pose

Otro acrílico/acuarela con tema de los mitos de Chtulhu: esta es Basatan (aunque los primigenios son seres asexuados me gusta representarlos como mujeres :P) también conocido como el amo de los cangrejos. Basatan es uno de los dioses introducidos por Clark Ashton Smith.

I doubt if the Zothique cycle is really part of the Cthulhu Mythos. Thaisadon (evil), Thamogorgos (invoked to destroy an entire evil empire), Basatan, yuckla (laughter), Geol (oracle), Mordiggian (dead bodies), Vergama (fate).

Zothique is twice mentioned in stories I've read ; the Dweller in Darkness (August Derleth -concerns Nyarlathotep's summer vacation home), and The Tomb Herd (early version of The Church in High Street - set in Kingsport.),but just as name dropping, not furthering the stories.

That's beyond awesome!!!

Hey, if you want to totally make her day, use one of my works of 'rubiacaea' (Sarah Ellis) for a cthulhu reference. She's a huge lovecraft fan. There's lots of shots of her in my gallery and in my stock archive (mjranum-stock.deviantart.com)

Thanks!!! It´s all because I used a superb photo for reference :P

Sure thing!!! I was looking for new reference to do new pictures (I´m planning to do at least 3 more pictures, but I´m a little busy with work, so I think they´ll have to wait a little) and oh boy, the girls on your gallery are perfect! I´ll definitely would love to use one of her photos as reference, so if you want to ask her what´s her favorite great old one I´ll paint her this way :P

Regards!

I dunno if she has a favorite. Just pick something at random. Seriously, she'll be soooo happy. :)
