Ithaqua, God of the Cold White Silence. One of H.P. Lovecraft’s Great Old Ones. I just ran out of capitals. Art by Christian Bravery (who on his ArtStation account just files it as “dead giant”).
I’ve noticed that many modern artists and filmmakers are fans of, well, let’s call it “Big Things in the Misty Background”. You watch say the The Force Awakens trailer, and there it is, inevitably: a huge crashed Star Destroyer in the misty background. Games, fantasy art, sci-fi, movies, it’s really a theme, which possibly can be explained psychologically.  via talesfromweirdland
