Description

From Wikipedia:
"Tsathoggua/Zhothaqquah is described as an Old One, a godlike being from the pantheon. He was invented in Smith's short story "The Tale of Satampra Zeiros", written in 1929 and published in the November 1931 issue of  Weird Tale His first appearance in print, however, was in H.P. Lovecraft's story "The Whisperer in the Darkness", written in 1930 and published in the August 1931 Weird Tales."

This was a squat, plain temple of basalt blocks without a single carving, and containing only a vacant onyx pedestal… It has been built in imitation of certain temples depicted in the Vaults of Zin to house a very terrible black toad-idol found in the red-litten world and called Tsathoggua in the Yothic manuscripts. It had been a potent and widely worshipped god, and after its adoption by the people of K'n-yan had lent its name to the city which was later to become dominant in that region. Yothic legend said that it had come from a mysterious inner realm beneath the red-litten world—a black realm of peculiar-sensed beings which had no light at all, but which had had great civilizations and mighty gods before ever the reptilian quadrupeds of Yoth had come into being.

— H. P. Lovecraft and Zealia Bishop, "The Mound"
TBH; I took my artistic license as always and added him tentacles :dummy:   this version is also inspired in the description that Lovecraft made in "The Horror in the Museum", when sacrifices for Tsathoggua were mentioned...
I decided to use black and white because the version I made in color...well, the colored version sucked XD and I recalled every lovecraftian work that is not a chibi I've made, were all in black and white :meow:

I hope you like it and remember that your comments, faves, critiques and shares are well received :D

El suplicio estilo Andrómeda... un clásico. Aunque los tentáculos hacen pensar en humor negro y hentai XD
