Mansions of Madness – Tsathaoggua
Some Cthulhu Mythos entities are more of a challenge to depict than others. Tsathoggua is one of those. Descriptions of him/it are vague enough that he could be depicted in myriad ways. Unfortunately he/it has already been depicted often enough in Call of Cthulhu that I felt like there was a basic form I should stick to. I didn’t want to stray so far away from previous depictions that he/it would be completely unrecognizable. Some of those previous depictions are almost cute. And not very threatening.
I do like how this one turned out. I don’t think he’s cute. Your mileage may vary.

Mansions of Madness – Girard and Garth
Blah. Threw my back out on Saturday. At least this time I was helping someone move heavy furniture.
The scenario I illustrated in Mansions of Madness featured one of those families that dabbles in Things Men Should Not Know. This (and the occasional inbreeding) results in a variety of warped and deformed immortal children. Girard is one of those children.
