A Most Frightful Excerpt was my favorite part of this issue of QtR. I loved the style, and I loved the imagery. You've got some greatt stuff here, Gemathustra

. I hope we will see more.
Some of the images had obvious Cthulhu mythos influences... like the Kaiser Egel, while others were more subtle. I liked that particularly. Then there's Crabe Siegnor... who just reminds me so much of something that I have seen before, but cannot remember what exactly.
Can I ask you what inspired some of these pieces?
Kaiser Egel/Jonny Long Fingers actually started as a random doodle of coral polyps, but mutated into something else entirely.
Crabe Siegnor, or "Master Crab," was inspired by an egg-shaped monster a friend of mine drew for a Candyland-inspired comic he's plotting about.
I'll confess, Humpty Doodle, the "weird and strange monster that lairs beneath the bed," was inspired by a monster I saw in the YuGiOh card game.
Mistress Barjan, Madame Gansley, Lao Goei, and the Arotrin were inspired by various monsters from Final Fantasies 4 and 6 (Being Critic, Conjurer, Ghost, and Atma Weapon respectively)
And the Nyhilus was inspired by a trilobite, "
Terataspis" which meant "Monstrous Shield."
