My first submission for Monster May(hem) this year is that wild and crazy guy, Y’Golonac!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y’Golonac is a Great Old One, an entity of the Cthulhu mythos, created by Ramsey Campbell in his short story “Cold Print”, published in 1969. He is the god of depravity and perversion. Seriously. This guy gets up to some twisted shit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y’Golonac usually manifests from the body of one of his worshippers, but he can manifest from the body of anyone who has read or spoke his name aloud. So, congratulations! You’re on that list now, too. When he does, the unfortunate vessel grows into a huge, headless, flabby monstrosity and sprouts bloody, slavering mouths from the palms of his hands. Cool, huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This miniature is a 3D print. I forget who designed it, but it’s actually quite good (not my usual opinion of printed minis). He fit together nicely and you can’t see the putty I used to fill the small gaps. I based him in Army Painter Peachy Flesh, which is the only paint I own from their Speedpaints line. It’s a wash that I found a bit too orange, so I dulled it with some Reaper Rosy Flesh. The tongues in his hands were painted Bugman’s Glow and washed with Druchii Violet and highlighted with some Tentacle Pink and white. and I used a Reaper Ivory trio over Steel Legion Drab for the teeth. The seam where his head should be was painted in Baal Red wash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Y’Golonac is the subject of a Christmas song by the H. P. Lovecraft Historical Society, set to the tune of “Feliz Navidad”, that’s been in my head on repeat every time I sat down to paint. It’s a hoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
