Description

The Children of the Bog

At one point these abominations were men. Travelers, drifters, or vagrants that had been corrupted corrupted by greed. Formed by this world into amoral nee-do-wells, hedonists, or thieves. Each one being drawn to the Bog through promises of fortune, fame, or simple pleasure. Where these promises come from has yet to be determined.

Upon entering the Bog, each individual is then lead upon a fruitless search for that which they had been promised. These people are continuously tortured by the Bog. Having their goals come so close, and then having them snatched away at the very last moment. Nevertheless, these people continue to search for the desires promised to them, to the point where they shirk basic necessities, such as food and drink, in favor of acquiring that which will never be given to them. It is when they finally teeter over the brink into madness that the Bog finally claims them. Rooting them in place, these poor souls become trapped, forever lost and never able to leave.

Her children can sometimes be heard at night, screeching warning into the unheeding ears of those who have yet to be consumed. Shouting and screaming out the message that they knew all to well, that greed will be their downfall.

That sounded a whole lot less corny when I wrote it down the first time. -_-

Anyways, this is the final comp for a Creature I designed for my Concept Art class. I took a lot of inspirations from various creatures and monsters that are either inspired or based off of Lovecraft, as well as a whole bunch of other sources.

This took me about 6-8 hours to finish, and I'm glad it's done, I can barely type, because my wrist is killing me, but I'm really glad it's done. I hope you guys like. I'd also like to thank this awesome guy who gave me a couple of great tips that have actually been much more useful than a lot of the stuff I've been learning in my art classes, lately.

Done in Photoshop CS5 with Intuos 4
