Night-Gaunt Concept

Published:

Description

Description used as inspiration:

Shocking and uncouth black things with smooth, oily, whale-like surfaces, unpleasant
horns that curved inward toward each other, bat wings whose beating made no sound, ugly prehensile paws, and barbed tails that lashed needlessly and disquietingly. And worst of all, they never spoke or laughed, and never smiled because they had no faces at all to smile with, but only a suggestive blankness where a face ought to be. All they ever did was clutch and fly and tickle; that was the way of nightgaunts.

— H. P. Lovecraft,”The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath’

This is one of eight creature/character that will be used later as a master reference for a series of compositions depicting scenes from the story ”The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath’ by H.P. Lovecraft. Not only is this the main project for my independent art study class but also has the intention that these could possibly be used for either the video game or movie industry.

They are lovely :) I'm not sure what it says about me, but I'm fascinated by the Night Gaunts.  Your rendition is quite attractive!  I especially like the one who looks like he's climbing and how you envisioned their feet.
