I love this, love it. Your Dagon is just grade-A, no tentacled chaps just good old HPL. There is one other painting on DA which does this, I cannot remember which, but Dagons as good as this are v. rare. Bring on the monolith! (I read 'Dagon' at school at I think 15, my first HPL so the story is one of my favourites)

This reminds me of these things called Murdocks (I think) from the MMO "World of Warcraft". They always team together like that and resemble them hehe. Anyway, good work.

Very mysterious.
"Most of the images of him are faulty"? I'd never seen one at all.
May I ask how much time goes into making a work like this? Looks like it took very long

Well Dagon was modeled in about a week on and off. The background, foreground and reef were done in vue6 on a friday night. It was composed in around 3 hours, then i let it sit for a day as a desktop pic. I realized that it needed more atmosphere so I went into photoshop for about another two hours, and thats it! Wha-la

"As I watched - choked by a sudden rise in the fishy odour after a short abatement - I saw a band of uncouth, crouching shapes loping and shambling in the same direction;"..."The gait of this figure was so odd that it sent a chill through me - for it seemed to me the creature was almost hopping."

Is dagon's appearance basically a bigger Deep One? I mean, I guess this kinda fits my mental image but I thought he would be a bit... more cthuloid? As in, random flanges or tentacles, etc.. Either way, great gallery. Lovecraft enthusiasts unite!

No he's a big deep one. no tentacles as per the story. most of the images of him are faulty.
