Fiendish Friday - Nyarlathotep


Nyarlathotep for Scott

"And it was then that Nyarlathotep came out of Egypt. Who he was, none could tell, but he was of the old native blood and looked like a Pharaoh. The fellahin knelt when they saw him, yet could not say why. He said he had risen up out of the blackness of twenty-seven centuries, and that he had heard messages from places not on this planet. Into the lands of civilisation came Nyarlathotep, swarthy, slender, and sinister, always buying strange instruments of glass and metal and combining them into instruments yet stranger. He spoke much of the sciences - of electricity and psychology - and gave exhibitions of power which sent his spectators away speechless, yet which swelled his fame to exceeding magnitude."
—H. P. Lovecraft, Nyarlathotep

I kind of like the idea that Nyarlathotep was based on Tesla so I put plenty of electricity into this one.

Nyarlathotep Sketch


Guess this doesn't really count towards Drawing Day as I'd laid out some of this previously, but I felt like finishing it...sketch of Nyarlathotep the Great Messenger in one of his monstrous forms.
