Description This is the first in a series of the eder God by Lovecraft. It depicts Azathoth, who sits at the centre of the universe and is the "first engine of chaos..". All other gods mindlessly dance around his eternal hunger.

I wonder what it would feel like for man to become Azathoth, and surpass every being in the multiverse...

Awesome! I'm always amazed what I see when I look for Lovecraft's work on the Old Ones. Azathoth is my favorite among them. Though, I think it odd his name in one version of the Necronomicon was spelled 'Azagthoth'. Never sure if that was a misprint or if it were intended. He looks huge as I'd expect and just as willing to devour everything with his maw. If man is to ever look to the stars and see this in orbit I'm sure we would all be driven to madness!

they are beyond such human terms of good and evil. 
they act in a manner that no human could begin to comprehend without falling into an insanity induced by releasing that we are so small and pointless in a cold uncaring universe.

Mankind is a young creature. Even on earth, there are countless other creatures that predate him. Being young, he has the foolish fantasy that 

he is the master of the universe, the lord of his dominion, the pinnacle of existence. 

As with the young everywhere, he will be disabused of this foolishness. There are entities outside human ken that would look on this foolishness 

and put him into his proper place. Beyond time and space dwell a myriad of beings and concepts that would shatter man's fragile psyche, both 

individually and collectively.

the fact is that humans are......

wait a second i seem to have left a window open..  annoying whistling sound
judging by that flaping noise  there seems to be that a bat found its way in as well



WHAT IN GODS NAME IS THAT??

HELP ME!  SOME ONE ANY ONE. PLEASE!!


"NO, NO, got to get away. Can't let them get me. N'gai n'gha'ghaa, bugg-shoggog. YOG-SOTHOTH!" 

"Ia; Ia; Tekeli-li, Tekeli-li! The black goat of 

the forest with a thousand young! The horrible abyss of radiance."

"Azoathoth have mercy. I remember Yuggoth and more distant Shaggai, and the ultimate void of the black planets. NO, I'm Lord-of-the-Damned. I'm 

NO, I'm Lord-of-the-Damned." 

"I see the tower in the dark. The thing is stirring and fumbling in the tower. Must unify the forces. I can see everything with a monstrous sense 

that is not sight." 


"Ia, ngai. I see it – coming here – hell-wind-black wings."

"The long, winging flight through the void….light is dark and dark is light. Yaddith grant it will keep up! 

AAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHH! Yog-Sothoth save me! The three-lobed burning eye." 

Lord-of-the-Damned  "NO, I'M Lord-of-the-Damned! I'm,  I'm Lor........"

This is so great! The only thing that I would ask for is the ring of flute players that circle Azathoth.

It's very inspiring work and nice and easy tutorials to follow! Give him a search on google and you should find him no problem. Thanks for sharing
