Fishy

A generous friend of mine was kind enough to burn me a CD of H.P. Lovecraft stories, which I hadn't been introduced to before. Here's an attempt at depicting 'the Innsmouth look' ... I'm afraid it came out rather more as a graphic style than a set of physical characteristics. Mike Mignola seems to be able to do it possibly without even trying, though he's brillant and well-read enough it's probably conscious.

Yes, nothing better than great squiddy deities and dark carnal rites to get one in the Christmas spirit... but it's the only thing this week that's managed to keep me concentrating on work.

Not bad---although I think that the Innsmouth look includes going bald young, and having a rather wrinkly neck.

The little girl with the Innsmouth look looks rather cute...:)

I tried including a sort of simplified wrinkly neck but I guess it isn't terribly clear ... and yeah, they came out looking not creepy at all... which is very much not the point. Sigh. Must work on the creepiness.
