Lovecrafts flying polyps

Description

The scenery comes completely out of my imagination, but I tried to do the design of the polyps as close as possible to Lovecraft´s description in "The Shadow Out Of Time" (see description below).
Acrylics on cardboard, 30 cm x 35 cm (and about 20 hours of work)


Here´s the description:
„The basis of the fear was a horrible elder race of half-polypous, utterly alien entities which had come through space from immeasurably distant universes and had dominated the earth and three other solar planets about 600 million years ago....
...There were veiled suggestions of a monstrous plasticity, and of temporary lapses of visibility, while other fragmentary whispers referred to their control and military use of great winds. Singular whistling noises, and colossal footprints made up of five circular toe marks, seemed also to be associated with them.“

Well, concerning the "footprints" I´ve created a very loose own interpretation of that (but just think of floating alien polyps with feet with 5 toes - would be rediculous, I think :D)
