As promised, here are the 4 versions of the Yog-Sothoth illustration. Inked with brush by the way.

Since the image was also going to be used in some merchandising, I wanted to give it more of a solid graphic form. I decided on some solid shapes in the background. Nothing fancy, but a nice opposite to the chaos that is Yog-Sothoth:
After these, I really wanted to switch the blacks and whites to give it more of a trippy black light effect. Turned out pretty good I think:
And with the solid-shaped background elements. Trippy!:

And I can’t stress enough that you should check out the kickstarter page for The Unearthly where Yog-Sothoth and other unearthly cosmic horrors will dwell:
