Here’s the work-in-progress shot of the lovecraftian gribbly critter I’m working on. I’ll have an update on it a bit later, hopefully finished up, with more info in that post.

I always envisioned Liches as condescending, oozing with contempt for the living and overly vain.  That said, I was never a fan of the “I’m a skeleton/zombie in robes” Liches of the old D&D days.  These things have more respect for themselves and are far to concerned with their perceived importance in the world to let their faces reflect their inner corruption.  Hence, the death-masks…A sad attempt for these horrible undead to hold on to some semblance of their humanity.

I’m planning on revisiting the humanoid mask idea in the current Lovecraft monster idea I’m working on.  The beast’s followers, in a desperate attempt to understand and connect with the thing, forged masks, jewelry and other items for their perverse god..Sort of a reversal of the traditional “god creating in his image” story.

After seeing The Mist, I wanted to do some gribbly, tenticled Lovecraftian Cthulhu monster. I’m going to bring the top right thumbnail to the finished design, methinks.
