The best way to get there is by reading Lupoff short story.
This is from the Wikipedia:
In Richard A. Lupoff's short story "The Discovery of the Ghooric Zone—March 15, 2337", Yuggoth is hinted to be the hypothetical Planet X. Lupoff's Yuggoth is a colossal, crimson planet, twice as massive as Jupiter. It is flattened at the poles and pulses eerily, no doubt because of its tremendous rotational speed—perhaps as fast as 80,000 kilometers per hour. It has numerous moons, including Nithon and Zaman, and the twin-moons Thog and Thok.

Thanks for your reaction, short and to the point!
The Cthulhu mythos has become so big it is almost a kind of religion. Think of the number of artist and writers, paninting and drawing, writing. The Necronimicon for instance must have at least a million pages on Internet, a lot longer than any other holy book.
Lovecraft wasn't that good a writer, but he set something in motion that inspired so many people.
Making a a mythos picture or story makes me feel I'm part of a greater whole.

Your interpretations of the Lovecraft stories are wonderful, there's an almost Jungian "ancestral memory" feel to them.
As to Lovecraft being not that good a writer, well, his style is a bit florid for some folk, but I always enjoyed his work since I was an early teen (Along with Lord Dunsany, Tolkien,and H.G.Wells.I also enjoy James Thurber and some others as well.)
I must compliment you on your truly unique vision as an artist and thank you most kindly for taking your time and replying to me.(I assume you're a very busy person)
Please, keep up the wonderful artwork,and have a wonderful week my friend!
