This is a truly amazing and epic piece of art. I absolutely love it and it goes really well with the Lovecraft quote. Maybe he channeled you from the past and this artwork to draw inspiration for that portion of his story! hahahaha
Thanks for sharing a bit about your art history and experience as well. I don't think many realize how fortunate Hive is to have an artist of your caliber here on the platform! Amazing work Otto! Cheers!

Thank yo my friend for the accolades - I really wish I had the patience and perseverance of my old days again. Sporadically I do, but not as steady as in the past, when I produced so much within a few short years. This work is in a private collection in Austria, but had been loaned to me for exhibitions (and for getting it properly scanned). Currently I am working on resurrecting a 'lost' work in a newer version, but it is going very slow. Maybe I am too ambitious, since I upped the format 4x from the lost original (only a bad photo of it exists).

I know how you feel. I just posted some art that i worked for a couple of weeks on. In my younger days i would have banged it out in a long all nighter. I think i am overthinking everything these days instead of letting the art take me away. Well, as long as we are aware of it then perhaps we can get back to the old ways when it's needed. Until then, we will just have to get by! hahahaha
