its still early WIP ( missing its front arms) but i think it will work out well
“great greyish-white slippery things which could expand and contract at will, and whose principal shape – though it often changed – was that of a sort of toad without any eyes, but with a curious vibrating mass of short pink tentacles on the end of its blunt, vague snout”
“The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath” (1927)
“They were pinkish things about five feet long; with crustaceous bodies bearing vast pairs of dorsal fins or membraneous wings and several sets of articulated limbs, and with a sort of convoluted ellipsoid, covered with multitudes of very short antennae, where a head would ordinarily be…. As it was, nearly all the rumours had several points in common; averring that the creatures were a sort of huge, light-red crab with many pairs of legs and with two great bat-like wings in the middle of their back. They sometimes walked on all their legs, and sometimes on the hindmost pair only, using the others to convey large objects of indeterminate nature. On one occasion they were spied in considerable numbers, a detachment of them wading along a shallow woodland watercourse three abreast in evidently disciplined formation. Once a specimen was seen flying—launching itself from the top of a bald, lonely hill at night and vanishing in the sky after its great flapping wings had been silhouetted an instant against the full moon.” (“The Whisperer in Darkness”)
miniature by RAFM
He was very squat and pot-bellied, his head was more like a monstrous toad than a deity, and his whole body was covered with an imitation of short fur, giving somehow a vague sensation of both the bat and the sloth. His sleepy lids were half-lowered over his globular eyes; and the tip of a queer tongue issued from his fat mouth
—Clark Ashton Smith, “”The Tale of Satampra Zeiros””
In that secret cave in the bowels of Voormithadreth . . . abides from eldermost eons the god Tsathoggua. You shall know Tsathoggua by his great girth and his batlike furriness and the look of a sleepy black toad which he has eternally. He will rise not from his place, even in the ravening of hunger, but will wait in divine slothfulness for the sacrifice.
—Clark Ashton Smith, “The Seven Geases”
I decited to make a paint in progress picture of the Tsathoggua Mini i am currently painting
I finished another miniature
The miniature itself fits the lovecraftian Theme very well imo
its a repaint of a D&D Otyugh
i repainted a dreamblade Illuminati Pyramid to use in strange aeons
its a pretty weird looking model anyway so i thought it will make a great Atrifact for any Lovecraftian game
and it does !!!
also im getting better at painting eyes
I had one of the old Warhammer Fantasy Rivertrolls…..(the metal ones) in my Bitzbox and decited to convert it into a deepone
so i gave it a fishy head with bulging eyes….mostly to test how it will look…and i must say , allthough it looks like kermit the Frog goung Hulk on someones ass, im happy how it turned out
im getting better at painting eyes ( something i suck at since years) and the light reflexes look nice. Also the pus filled bubbles on the beasts belly pop out nice
now on to basing this beast…….
Cheers
Heres a better picture of the House i buldt for testing purposes…. it worked well and if i can build a house from an old pizza carton, i guess i can now use the styrodur-catron i have bought ,without fucking up the result
i also did build some smaller walls from styrodur
