The Black Goat in The Woods with a Thousand Young

On a roll to depict the Cthulhu Mythos entities, I give you Shub-Niggurath. Although described as a "miasmic mass of tentacles" and a "cloudy mass", the epithet of "Black Goat" always burned a definite image in my mind, image which served as basis for the above drawing.

Apparently, according to the entry in Wikipedia, one Rodolfo Ferraresi wrote an essay ("The Question of Shub-Niggurath") in which he defends that Shub-Niggurath and the Black Goat are in fact two separate entities.

Now that I´m on a roll, Ill try and go through the majority of the Cthulhu Mythos. I do take requests :D

i'd say this is not as good as the last one (the "crawling chaos") but it certainly has an eery look to it.i really enjoy the tentacle colour work but there's something about the goat that isn't working... i don't know for shure what. but great eery mood.
