Description
made this for mindfultriphammer´s monthly topic [link]it illustrates an place from "the dream quest of unknown kadath" an novella by h.p. lovecraft.
the city of the gugs is located in the underworld which is part of the dreamlands.
"City of the Gugs
The City of the Gugs is a colossal, horrifying cityscape of soaring, cyclopean towers. It is the dwelling place of the gugs, banished to the underworld by a covenant of the gods. Its most prominent landmark is the Tower of Koth, which contains a legendary stairway that leads to the surface.
Close by the city is the cemetery of the gugs, its graves marked by huge stone monoliths. Ghouls often dine here; a deceased gug feeds them for almost a year." (wikipedia)
this was a blast to paint.
hope you like!

I’d love to do a Fan Fic feature, but I don’t read much Fan Fic.

oh thanks ! this was kind of an speed-painting, not really alla prima- because i had some preperation sketches, but i painted this quite fast. initially i wanted to do an more "realistic" looking illustration- more three dimensional- but i kind of like the "flat" story-book aspect to which it evolved.i think i used this kind of "pseudo-perspectives" alot more in my old illustrations.it probably fits well here since it depicts an dream,where dimensions are distorted...
