This is an illustration for Fantasy Flight Games collectible card game named Call of Cthulhu, which is based on the worlds of renowned horror master H.P. Lovecraft.
Painted March 2008 (wow, had to wait 1 year until I could show it).

I used a friend of mine as reference model for the brave fighter. Too bade it doesn't look too bright for him, hehe.

This painting is also displayed here, along with another card made by me, including me as "Howard Ludvinski": [link]

Illustrations for card games like this always have short deadlines, and are supposed to be viewed on a smaller scale than here.

Superbly claustrophobic lighting and great momentum.

He seems awfully relaxed for a man looking death in the eye.

You and tentacles... is there cause for concern, or is it really all work related? :ninja:

Very cool Henning. Have you read any of Lovecraft's books? The tale of unknown Kadath was my favorite. I also liked his short story "The Crypt". It gave me goose bumps.

Another wonderful illustration. Glad to see you got to work tentacles in the painting, even if they are just shadows.

Really nice art. Guy looks as though he's going to be eaten though. How unfortunate.
