I thought I’d upload some more pretty pictures before getting stuck in with the concept stuff as I started reading through my description of the city and found various references to places Lovecraft used to describe the city and I hadn’t gone through and looked at them yet:
The Ruins of Macchu Picchu in the Andes, Peru
These 2 below give you a nice insight into cyclopean masonry as well
The Snake Tomb in the valley of Petra
Garden of the Gods, Colorado
Then other than the work of Nicholas Roerich and his Asian mountain paintings all the other bits of and bobs Lovecraft referered to seem to have been fictional, anyway Roerich’s paintings:
I thought I’d also find some pictures of Antarctica as well for a bit more of an insight into what might have greeted the party when they arrived:
Nice little satellite photo of Antarctica
Also last night I went on a bit of a hunt for any possible artwork done of the ‘old ones’ city, and I turned up some interesting stuff:
(Using DeviantART usernames to acredit artists etc)
Ox3art
Subtrocity
MarcSimone
AllicornUK
Pickmans-Mode
Another one by Danny Cruz
And I also found this piece which I uploaded in an earlier piece to be by Subtraho
Then following on from this I did some more general digging on DeviantART to find ancient cities and other such inspirational material:
Greenleaf-Stock
Tonyelie
JJasso
Nancynismo – I like the way the architecture has images of possibly the ancient inhabitants or dinosaurs but thought it was relevant due to the way the ‘Old ones’ city has loads of star symbols scattered all over it
GlacialWaters - Looks a bit more futuristic but I like the general packed in style of it
Now on with the concept stuff as I think I’ve gathered enough resource material for now...
