Another fella I was really looking forward to in this challenge.

Ithaqua is often interpreted more along the lines of Yeti, but for my part, when I'm told about a Great Old One whose element is ice and snow and who is surrounded by hypothermia and maddening hunger and all the horror that comes with the fear of the cold,

a Wendigo immediately appears in my mind's eye.

The prompt from day 13 that timidly asks for a deer or something similar (?) plays right into my hands :) While cryophobia isn't something that scares me personally, the way this fear is dealt with and played out in stories and pop culture (think Frostpunk, the Thing or even HBO's Terror) is actually the kind of horror that fascinates me - and somehow excites me in a morbid way. Designing a creature that personifies this primal fear - this literally twisted creature with the maw of one so desperate to escape starving, they wouldn't even make a hold for their own kind, limps in the colour of frostbitten flesh and antlers like ice crystals.... - I really had a blast here :D

PS: Those weirdos of you sharing my fascination with this kind of horror, lemme give you a little recommandation on the way:

The magnificent Jacob Geller did this awesome video essay on the topic a few years ago putting into words what I tried here to put into ink.

I in general can just recommend the guy and his content. He has a damn good eye for this kinda stuff :)

Oh Cthulhu how we adore you, as we prepare for Christmas Holiday we wanted to introduce a new addition to our Monsters Ball Christmas Edition Amigurumi Cthulhu.

We are working on writing a book for all crochet makers of any age and experience level.

We believe teaching the craft of crochet brings the most joy when you can produce your own crocheted creation. It can be very engaging for the youth as it shows them how math is applied to the creation of art, hand eye coordination and comprehension.

All of those elements combined is a recipe for a spark of the imagination and the need to explore the art of crochet and all it has to offer.

- The Last Creature: The Brawnkle -

Wow, first week of the year and I am on fire with an idea.

So, this long necked being is known as a; Brawnkle (Bra-wn-k-le) They are an advanced species of creatures that mixes between cybernetics and the Burning Core.

Once a group of Hoodlites with a bucket/ barrel for a limb. These beings took to making advancements to improve their way of life and gain the upperhand against other Hoodlites. The hubris of meddling with their biology resulted in them becoming the way they are today.

Brawnkles share a consistent platform object that covers half of their bodies. Their bodies are elongated, making them taller. The platform has four chambers that holds the Brawnkle's main arsenal.

- The Power Gauntlets -

Each Brawnkle shares three wireless gauntlets. The Crab Pincer, The Mantis Claw and The Kong Glove. Each of these gauntlets will circle and distract its opponent. Baiting the victim to the right location. Thus, unleashing the Bolt Canon.

Often nicknamed as "The Lone Army" we're lucky that most of them prefer to be studious scholars instead of being dictatorial. Having said that, The Brawnkle are quite smug about their intelligence and innovation which can be interpreted by some as very obnoxious.

In actual life, the Brawnkles are mainly inspired by Doctor Who's; [The Daleks] and Lovecraft's [Great Race of Yith]

More to come for this creature and yes, I will officially post more details up on the official page. That is all for now~

For Day 28, I once again drew on a short story that Lovecraft wrote in 1908. The Alchemist

An alchemist who wants to avenge his father's death by cursing the murderer - he and his descendants may not live past 32 - and to make sure that the curse really works, he creates the elixir of eternal life for himself and personally murders the descendants on their 32nd birthday. Passes as Passion Project, doesn't it? :)
