I've taken a break from writing and started to illustrate some of HPLs work (badly). Here they are.

Oh I'm not ashamed. I'm working on my skills to get them 1337 so I can professionally illustrate Lovecraft one day.

if you work more slowly to reduce the heavy, hurried look of the strokes, you might be surprised at how these illustrations can 'mature' in artistic effect. you don't need photorealistic perspective and anatomy, but i think you could focus more deliberately on certain details like tree branches and textures. i think the main drawback here is the sense that you rushed through. the overall composition is pretty promising.

I think they are cool.

I like the fourth one the best. Congrats and keep at it.

The first and the last one are by far the best. Time is the greatest of teachers. Keep going buddy. We are all in your corner.

Man, why you guys gotta be like that...And yes, I would like my belly rubbed, and maybe some tuna fish. Damn dolphins...

Save the tuna and eat dolphins. It's like having your belly rubbed on the inside.
