WIP update, so no colour added yet. But I did spend Christmas giving him a marvellous tentacle border. Because you just can't be an eldritch Lovecraftian horror without tentacles. NOW... Yellow. Lots of yellow.

I haven't listened to Malevolent in a while and I often forget it exists. I am much more familiar with Chambers' King in Yellow stories...

This makes it all the more shocking to me when sock puppet and/or babygirlified fanart of the podcast tagged as the King in Yellow comes across my dash.

I'm bewildered and amazed every time I see it, because you people are out here fanarting the eldritch god from a short story collection published in 1895.

This never fails to amuse and entertain me. Keep up the good work.

(Disclaimer ↓)

Yes I know it's not technically fanart of the book it's fanart of a podcast of a Call of Cthulhu campaign inspired by the book.

But you have to at least give yourselves credit for spreading 19th century cosmic horror around fandom spaces!

@ibrithir-was-here, we've talked about The Sandman - The Cthulhu Mythos before and playing with the notion of the Dreamlands.

Is it just me or does Dream's (we're assuming) very first facet, that precieved by the Outer Gods... Seem very King in Yellow coded? That image of the tattered cloak and tentacles is synonymous with 'Hastur'. It's a intriguing possible connection considering how heavily both beings are associated with the arts, stories and the power of the written word. That and the duel narrative around the King in Yellow being both dred feaster and benign shepard. A god that was never part of the lovecraftian mythos but incorporated in...

It could be very fun to play with? That the Dreaming in its infancy, at the conception of the universe, made up of the dreams of eldritch deities and young stars, could be Carcosa? The identity of Cassilda and Camilla. The Yellow sign being Dream's earliest sigil. And it and the novel/plays sanity warping properties, are a result of this being an aspect of Dream of the Endless humanity was NEVER meant to know. Let alone try and comprehend.

The King has arrived, but he’s not here for long… once the pin sells out, he’s gone for good! If you’re interested, why not head over to our shop to pick up your own?

"But he held her close and strong, whispering words of honest love and passion, and when she sobbed-- "Not that-- not that--I have promised! You must--you must know--I am--not--worthy--" In the purity of his own heart her words were, to him, meaningless then, meaningless for ever after."

Robert W. Chambers, The Street of Our Lady of the Fields

A drawing of the King In Yellow c:

I drew his robe like a stage curtain and his crown is made from broken glass pens to lean into the "victims are primarily artists" thing. The folds were a bit of a pain, but I'm glad I took the time with them because I'm happy with how the robes ended up.

Cosmic horror hits different in the digital age because The Yellow Sign would become a total meme. It would be the new pepe. Every comments section would be like "this loser hasn't even seen the yellow sign 🙄"
