Inks of the Quachil Uttas drawing. From "The Treader of the Dust" by Clark Ashton Smith. I'm happy with how the textures came out on this one.

Succinctly I am an ambi-to-introverted, melancholic, laconic, somber-hued, radically progressive, pro-human, anti-fascist, old-school nerd and amateur writer of fitful output driven by aesthetic appreciation for any tableau of shadow, dusk, and ages lost.

Parliamo di #libri. Quando ho approcciato #ClarkAshtonSmith cercavo l’ispiratore di #Lovecraft. Insomma devi essere proprio bravo per aver ispirato uno così e infatti i racconti di #Atlantide sono qualcosa di notevole. C’è una storia all’inizio, la storia di un #mago che conosce l’amore ma poi lo perde e diventa malvagio è quella storia è così vera…così toccante. Alla fine si finisce per aver compassione per colui che ha perso l’amore.

@nonmateria Not sure if you are familiar with #JackVance's #speculativefiction, especially his #TheDyingEarth series. It is inspired by #ClarkAshtonSmith's stories of #Zothique & #Hyperboria. Smith was a much more open than either #HPLovecraft or #RobertEHoward. His artist fascination with other cultures & languages made him a #Xenophile in comparison to their #Xenophobia. He blended the #Lovecraft's #cosmichorror with a mix of #LordDunsany's ironic tone & the sensibility of #CharlesBaudelaire.

I created this composition using the #WOMBO #Art app. The app is #generativeart design software that will convert words and phrases into intriguing images. I used the descriptive title ~ #Jabberwocky #Cabbage #Baggage ~ to generate the #creature, which I then modified. I also added one of my photo edges. #digitalart #fantasy #phantasmagoria #weird #strange #Lovecraftian
* A purple-green leafed 1 eyed creature from #ClarkAshtonSmith's #nightmare garden
