The Masked One

While working on a collectors coin set for Chaosium and their Call of Cthulhu game, I did a deep dive into the works of H.P. Lovecraft. His short stories sparked my inspiration and led directly to the birth of this illustration.

The Masked One goes by many other names: The Black Pharaoh, Crawling Chaos, God of a Thousand Forms, Stalker among the Stars, The Faceless God. The Soul and Messenger of the Other Gods and…Nyarlathotep.
