Eibon made comics based on cult and horror films that were a pain in the ass to get. So I'm looking forward to this as some of the stuff they made looks bloody amazing!

Back from the dead, this thread appears =D. Looks like there's a ton of movie / etc refs in here! I'm in, must review.

Good-faith proof of effort from a latecomer (not seeking votes)

This other guy said, "I like your bagman!". I said, "let's re-do it!". He made the character, and I invented the BG

For someone who only appreciated horror through the lens of vidya games, but is now interested in dark art, what's the best jumping off point that doesn't involve the word "lovecraft"? :) Someone asked me to paint Azathoth, and I'm still scratching my head over that one... "references", they said...

*insert jump scare here*

OK, direct + open question - I was recently asked to paint Azathoth for fun. Uhh, it's been two weeks, and I still have no idea how to even start thinking about this one. Skimming the thread, still at a total loss.

Definitely strikes me as a horror creature, but a pile of tentacles isn't really that interesting. I do love pure imaginary paints, though, and have been told I'm outright crazy more than once ;). Any thoughts from the Horrorverse on, uhh, "mentality" for such a varied creature? =D There's gotta be 100 interpretations of it...

You can draw Azathoth even as a humanoid! draw him as a multi-eldritch monster! as Azathoth is the great dreamer that created his universe and so think of a spaghetti that came to life on your plate with whatever you wanna fantasy for! the being in itself has no "true" form as it's whatever the person perceives him some could see him as a disgusting buddha, a disgusting chivalry knight, and more!

Best description long time. Incoming flying spaghetti monster! =D You're giving me permission to return to some of the types of things I rarely/never posted here. I'm blaming you in advance ;).

My favourite feedback of all time was: "what sort of spastic drew this"; "this is a drawing of pure madness"; and "looks like Dall-E" all on one piece - high praise, lol! I was inventing a race of creatures called Dentataur (open use idea - the myth of the dentata, as fleshy prehistoric creatures who consume humans) which you can look up at your own peril. I shifted away from that to learn other things and diversify the art profile... but it's probably time to return to them... Azathoth clearly spawned these hideous things, I think...

Hard-crested, celestial, tentacles, many eyes, formless... hmm... seems like the common features, yeah. Hope to report back later today with a sketch. More as it happens. Off to dream.

Alright!

...What a 3.5 hour Azathoth might look like from this relative newbstick digi-painter =D. This is "v2". Lacks oomph, I'd say.

I might be getting help - or friendly competition - from another. "v3" pending based on whether said other decides to build off this, or do their own thing, or asks for a swap of their idea :).

Merci. I was also asked to make the Whateley Twins. Unfortunately, I've attracted chronic downvoters, lol, and doubt I will continue to upload to the Portal due to the fact that I'm starting to use methods NG locals scorn.

You can find a lot more horror stuff in my profile if you flip on your A filter. Got a race of creatures I'm calling Vacuutaurs too. But I won't post such links here, and warn you, it'll be a wild ride ;).

Overall I like 1980s horror stuff and one Wrong Turn film made me smile too (haven't seen any other, than the 5th) . Some other horror things I like are from Europe. Russians were pretty good at making some surprise-ending stuff.

I also enjoy horror survival genre in games - Alien:Isolation game, or anything Frictional Games is pure love! The last is releasing new game in few days!

Uh... hey ? *waves*

1st time I hear of them.

Although i have to add that the reason i like some of the horror is not about the hack and slash. Same reason I have seen only one Wrong Turn (the one with "Pinheads" actor as lead) - I am more interested on characters and charisma. Most horror fans probably are there for the blood and kills. However charisma and character is what gives antagonists a purpose and makes it harder for viewer. With that last i mean that i.e. the whole WT5 film i wanted the bad guy to escape at end - and that was so wrong. I liked the female protagonist /the policewoman/, but I also liked the bad guy - and I was like, "uh... uh.. I cannot decide which one I support now!" - I liked that conflict.

It is same kind of conflict I had with Hellraiser - cenobites are likable. Humans are not.

Found my enthusiasm with this baby 2 months ago and a local cinema operator was kind enough to scramble some blurays and dvds for me.

I take my horror phases very seriously. *lol* Naah, i am a village idiot, never take me seriously as I take nothing seriously. Planning some film night with those and friends now!
