Night Terrors:The Nightgaunts

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 illustration 2 of 6 character designs for my Dreamquest project. This piece is still a work in process because I really want to make these pieces sing but at the same time I have to get them done.

Edit: I have finally finished this piece with added texture, changes to the composition, and other refinements.
