Nyarlathotep


Had a go at designing a version of Nyarlathotep - also known as the "crawling chaos", in particular his "Bloody Tongue" form - usually represented with three legs and his head is sort of a long tongue. Here his tongue is an almost entity that moves back and forth through the host body, hunting for prey. As the most active and involved with humans of these Outer Gods, he is a 3 dimensional entity or at least has perfected being able to appear in three dimensions, so none of the cut off 4 dimensional sections as seen on Cthulhu and Hastur.

Here's a little more info from lovecraft.wikia.com.

"Nyarlathotep differs from the other deities in the Mythos in a number of ways. Most of the Outer Gods are exiled to the stars, like Yog-Sothoth and Azathoth, and most of the Great Old Onesare sleeping and dreaming like Cthulhu; Nyarlathotep, however, is active and frequently walks the Earth in the guise of a human being, usually a tall, slim, joyous man. He has "a thousand" other forms and manifestations, most reputed to be quite horrific and sanity-blasting."

Hastur



Since within the Cthulhu Mythos Hastur is either a place, a thing or an elder/outer god, and has no descriptions, I didn't have much to base this design on other than the "yellow sign".
I also thought it would be interesting if Hastur was pretty damn huge - on a totally different scale to everything else.

IZZIE'S WAY HOME

So not only did I have the good fortune to direct The Asylum's first full length CGI animated movie - Izzie's Way Home, which is now out on DVD - but I also did all the character designs as well. So here are a few of the producer approved finals!
Also a huge thanks to everyone, from the voice actors, the modelers and animators who all worked hard on the film to bring these characters to life! You can find them all on the Izzie's Way Home IMDB page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5667482/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_1
