Today’s monster – my final Monster MayHem ’23 submission – is once again from Cthulhu: Death May Die – though this time it’s from the Season 1 core box. The Shoggoth appears to fit the overall description of Lovecraft’s creature pretty well, though reading that description certainly makes me suspect that John Carpenter had some rather direct inspiration for The Thing. (Not to be in any way confused with Ben Grimm in this case..)
Painting was pretty quick and straightforward – and Contrast Black Templar on the rest of it, drybrushed up with Dark Reaper (dark blue-grey) and then some thinned Contrast Volpus Pink (magenta) in spots on the body and the ends of the tentacles. The eyes were VMC Ice Yellow with Citadel’s Gemstone Red and a touch of Blood for the Blood God on their upper orbs.
Finally, Contrast Blood Angels Red in the mouth-tentacles, drybrushed with some mixes of lighter reds and oranges.
