Description From Lovercraft's Cthulhu mythos, Azathoth is the ruler of the Outer Gods, a being of primordial chaos, endless hunger, and infinite blasphemy. It is first described through the statement from the fiction 'The Dream-Quest of the Unknown Kadath' ... 

"Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes."

Granted, I didn't include drummers or flautists, but thought instead to just focus on the entity itself, trying to depict it as a what a black hole might look like if given amorphous form and some semblance of sentience. 

Created on Strathmore Drawing paper using 2B and Prismacolor Ebony pencils.
