Today’s prompt was “Mindless”. So I went with the most mindless thing I could think of, the greatest, and stupidest god of the Cthulhu Mythos, Azathoth!
This took longer than I thought it would. Not getting into all of the details with the tentacles, even doing the black took too long. I thought breaking my rule about crosshatching and using a marker would have made a difference. It didn’t. I should have cheated and used the bucket in photoshop.
“Onward unswerving and relentless, and tittering hilariously to watch the chuckling and hysterics into which the risen song of night and the spheres had turned, that eldritch scaly monster bore its helpless rider; hurtling and shooting, cleaving the uttermost rim and spanning the outermost abysses; leaving behind the stars and the realms of matter, and darting meteor-like through stark formlessness toward those inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time wherein Azathoth gnaws shapeless and ravenous amidst the muffled, maddening beat of vile drums and the thin, monotonous whine of accursed flutes.”
