Gallery – Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion

In 2020 I was asked to do some illustrations of Jackson Elias for The Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion.

I also did a portrait of the Crawling Chaos itself and some of its “Masks”.

Recommendation

What I’d like to do is sit and read a book. Just spend the day reading a good dead tree edition of something. Since that won’t fit in my schedule right now may I suggest that, if you have the time, you fit it in yours?

This illustration below was already colored. I did it in 2012 so it’s one of my ealiest images featuring the Nizz.
I like the original but I thought it could use some adjustments. Fortunately I’ve learned to save all my photoshop files with their original layers so making changes was pretty easy.
