Listen, lady, it's understandable to misinterpret nearly 100 year old stories written by a guy emulating a writing style that was already decades old at the time. It was a different time and people had different sensibilities.

I'm still going to call you silly, though.

This thread is great, but in my opinion, eldritch monsters shouldn't just be "humanoid with tentacles" or "mass of appendages that looks like an ugly fish". We can only see an aspect of these beings, not the real thing, it should be mind bending, bodies that defy evolution, biology, physics and logic. Something that shouldn't make any sense.
I love some of these concepts but it's kinda boring when they are drawn as something out of a resident evil game, that kind of monster is on it's own category.

Probably more like this, they follow their own logic, not our's. They need to feel alien enough.

>>18854026
Very well said OP

As opposed to?

>>18855666
You know, 3-D beings, like you and me, and a dog and a tree and a house. Imagine the eldrichts warping like a hypercube

Azathoth, the blind idiot god.
basically the most powerful known being in the Cthulhu mythos, the creator/father of everything eldritch

these are all so weak. always the same familiar forms, rationalizations of what words put beyond imagination. imagination is limited by our observable reality, this whole style is so futile

I agree, it's pretty ironic that people's depictions of the "incomprehensible" are all extremely similar

>>18860763
What kind of idiot tried to pass that off as Azathoth?

What kind of idiot thought they COULD draw Azathoth?

>>18861711
>>18861699
is this Azazoth?

If something that big even twitched it would probably decimate every coastal city on the planet

They don't default to being evil in my head. I picture it like a naked couple by a lake with golden aura, like old mythology

I fucking love "military/science experiment gone bad" scenarios, right after "scientific expedition to an uncharted location gone bad" scenarios.

The longer you look at this one, the more fucked up it gets

>>18863750

among my many unfinished projects is a screenplay about a mission to discover the source of an inexplicable signal that begins to simultaneously broadcast into the minds of every human being on earth.

but once you start the "expedition gone bad" story, how can you give it a fresh ending? the natives are either a) trying to kill us (overdone), b) not trying to kill us (boring), or c) long dead (even more boring). so then you end up trying to make B or C more interesting by having the environment present challenges or members of the group turn on each other. but it's all been done before.

i'd like to make my aliens feel alien, but obviously when attempting to present the "unimaginable" it's rather hard to imagine what to present.

>>18855422
If they exist wouldnt they be something we couldnt comprehend and drive us insane

so makes sense that we couldnt draw or have any frame of reference to draw such a being

favourite mythos story? personally it has to be dunwich horror for me. the fusion of eldritch and invasion body horror is just perfect.

What about being saved and stuffed away like a thing put somewhere only to be forgotten. Aliens just take in humans as pets or as things to be looked at. Stuffed for decoration. Bread for fighting things like that.
