"The walls were lined with small cells, in seventeen of which—hideous to relate—solitary prisoners in a state of complete idiocy were found chained, including four mothers with infants of disturbingly strange appearance. These infants died soon after exposure to the light; a circumstance which the doctors thought rather merciful."
H.P. Lovecraft, The Horror At Red Hook
This creepy monster was basically the same as last time but now it's got better linework, color & rendering. I also fixed the eye. I've become obsessed with fixing the eyes on these old drawings.
This one is another that's barely mentioned in the story and I'm assuming HPL simply meant that the child was deformed in some simple way. Considering his mentions of conjoined twins and hydrocephalus in other writings. However, I wanted to go nuts with this one. I really wanted it make it surreal and "disturbingly strange".
Tomorrow's monster is less obscure and really fun!
