Based on one of H.P. Lovecraft's finest works, "The Dunwich Horror," I've depicted the lovely young Whateley family spending some quality time reading the Necronomicon <3
I decided to leave father out of the picture for... reasons.

I made this piece for a Lovecraft-inspired show at Finders Creepers Gallery.

This piece was made with pencil, watercolor, and digital media.

I love this piece! Actually, ALL of your work on here is phenomenal, but "The Dunwich Horror" is one of my all-time favorite Lovecraft stories, and your take on it is perfectly executed and adorably macabre.

The father is present...I think he's the frame! :D Gorgeous rendering--and you gave this doomed family a beautiful moment of harmony which I would not have thought possible! Well done!!!

This is amazing. It manages to make both an eerie statement by including the thoroughly monstrous spawn of Yog-Sothoth, and a heartwarming one by depicting them as a normal family. I very much understand why the father isn't there, though.
