Description
Theophobia: Fear of GodMy idea for this one was simple, do a God like creature, no ifs ands or buts. But what sort of god like creature? Egyptian? Greek? Christian? Mayan? Norse? Japanese? So many choices...
I then remembered of something...Eldritch Creatures are often said to be god like...not only that Greek, Christian and Norse mythology have very similar versions of their main 'God'. Powerful looking being with a long beard capable of nearly shaping the very reality...with that I was capable of working with him. Not only that I also tried to make him demonic to give the nod that not only is he God but he is also The Devil.
I tried to make him in terms of expression full of himself, as if he knew he was powerful and strong, as if he was the almighty maker of everything, going as far as spell his name in a constellation in the cosmos he just created. In terms of clothing I primarily based it on Greek designs as well as tried to make him look like he was full of himself to the point of having a cape and even jewellery. The several symbols on him are references to many religions and among others which is an almost mocking statement that all the gods are just masks he uses.
His very body is made of different galaxies, energies and even stars, the multiple tentacles were a slight nod to Zalgo, a god like entity that is known to bring the end...somehow...
A nod to most of my god like characters he has a third eye on his forehead. Some of the tentacles are a reference several things many gods have in common: their grasp being ever present and ever tight, they are all seeing and are all knowing, their hunger never cease and shall forever remain.
So...you worship something, and you know it's powerful...but in the end you discover its true-self...The fact that no matter what God you worship there is only one...and that one is a sadistic, manipulative, megalomaniac monster that will simply toy with your world, life, concepts, perception and will for his own amusement.

Edit: Made him slightly brighter, he was too dark for any details to be identified.
