Nothing weird going on here, just a regular dude chilling out on his monolithic stone throne…

    Yea! This is awesome, perfectly imitating the Lovecraftian themes of the Beholder line. Love how his body is very chaotic, not truly taking a form. Awesome work.

      I also enjoy how you didn’t make him “octopus”- He isn’t enough like the slimy, less textured tentacles of the Abomination, and he really does invoke themes alot like the Eldrazi from MtG, or a different Lovecraftian horror deity. Cannot get over how well you delivered.

    This continues the trend with some of the icons in game, where many of the deities seem to be miming eating a sandwhich. (Seriously, S’hrim, Gholoth, Teok, etc- I’m eyeing you guys. DID YOU STEAL MY SANDWICH? WHAT IS YOUR DEVILISH GAME?)

    Reply
    • haha yes, especially S’hrim 🙂 It’s really just because I wanted to squeeze a shot of the hands into the little portrait square, but the end result is some very talented sandwich mimes for gods 🙂

    How about giving us a peak at the God of Fertility? I need to see the all mighty fish sitting on his briny throne. Hail Glub!

      Your obnoxious gargles and “blubs” will soon be cut out by the glorious cries of fish in their death throes, harvested by the lord of the abyss, Qaahl!

        Ha! Such talk from a weak follower of The Boneless One. Swimming fast won’t save you from the crushing power of Glub’s might! You Boneless One worshippers believe that you are superior because of your intelligence. What good is your brain when it’s spattered against the my club? Such is the foolishness of those who defy Glub!

          Your useless rhetoric does nothing for you, mindless thrall! Qaahl is the Oracle of the Void, the One Outside Reality, the chaotic god outside of the physical plane’s reach! He knows all and ends all! Your club is useless to the vast pool of knowledge that we seers posses! Our Beholders will disintegrate your bodies, layer by layer, until nothing remains but the faint heartbeat of a dying memory!

            (by the way, for lore significance, I believe that Qaahl is not inspired by an octopus- the lovecraftian deities like Azathoth- that’s why he seems more chaotic, not truly an “octopus”- this is supported by the fact in-game, his “patron” monster is the Lesser Beholder, not the Spinewyrm, as well as me, in these forums, talking about Qaahl as a more lovecraftian deity, and Barney responding in the same way. Now, back to the lore battle!)

          • Walrusman72

            Pathetic. Your Beholders will be gored upon the teeth of the Glubfish. Brittle wings will never save you once you are caught by a thrall of Glub! Go ahead and attack us with useless knowledge, see if it will help you once it has been incinerated. We are like an insidious disease dwelling all around you. Slow and malignant, multiplying until you have no choice but to bend to our will! Our war cries are more powerful than anything your Magi can ever utter forth. Glub shall peel back the Veil of Reality that the Boneless One is hiding behind and tear him from his pitiful throne! All his follower’s will see its blood filling the oceans and crashing upon the shores, and the fish shall feast upon its flesh. All Gods shall bow to the might of Glub! The Thane of Multiplicity, The Lord of the Strong, The Master of the Oceans, ! Bow you despicable shred of the Corrupted Watcher, bow to the All-Might Glub!

          • Addertongue (Jamais Namme or Xoac103)

            Hah! You think that pitiful tangle of words would scare us, with the might of Qaahl at our side (by the way, it is spelled Qaahl, though I doubt you, with the intelligence of a Glubfish, would know that :D)?! Your oceans have long been ruled by Aboleths that even the ‘mighty’ Glub did not sense! When Qaahl has seen enough and returned to the world as a general of the onslaught, the sky will rip and the earth will shatter! Your oceans shall freeze, becoming the prison that spells your end! The plane of reality will bend to Qaahl’s will, as abberations of chaos and evil fall from the sky in a rain of bloodshed! Your pitiful minds will rot and be taken as lowly peons of Qaahl, and the True Oracle will have his vengeance on the world that for so long has shunned him! Hail Qaahl, bringer of the end!

          • Addertongue (Jamais Namme or Xoac103)

            Indeed, the war will not be long. Qaahl has long since dwelled in the shadows, but when it strikes, it hits true! Us, ‘weak magi’ previously, will ascend to become powers greater than even you can ever hope to fathom! Your minds are weak, your will is easily bent- corruption will spread throughout your race as you will soon be reduced to grasping at shreds of sanity, your minds naught but engines of primordial rage! We won’t kill you- oh, no. That would be unsavory, and rather inefficient. No, you shall become engines of war to us, and we will use your armies to conquer your allies! Qaahl shall become the rightful ruler of the wretched material plane, easily dispersing the essence of the other deities. You shall be naught more than puppets to our strings, you despicable shred of bone, sinew and muscle! Long live the true oracle!

          • How can you hope to defeat glub? His armies squelch from the fetid pits, the oceans his breeding pit. You may turn us against each other, but how can you send insane that which holds no mind? Our angel are mindless beasts of destruction, obeying no master. And when Glub needs you destroyed, all we must do is open their cages in your direction. Glub shall crush their bodies once this small dispute has cleared up. It shall become clear that no scholar, hiding behind your books and knowledge, shall ever surpass the greatness, the squalor, and the might of our lord Glub! All hail the lord of multiplicity!

          • Addertongue (Jamais Namme or Xoac103)

            Hah! You think wretched beasts will stop the slow fall of your crumbling empire? Your “angels” may have no king, but that only solidifies the legitimacy of your fall! Your own men will turn the caged beasts towards you, whether by the reaction of your cruelty, the commandments of Qaahl, or the easy spy we’ve placed into your borders. You know naught that your empire is built on legs of sand, your followers no more loyal than intelligent. The oceans will rise and fall, as prophets have said for so long, but this time, more permanent! Glub will be forced to retreat into the depths once again, ruler of a toppled empire. The True Oracle shall rise!

          • Legs of sand? Hah! Such foolishness, coming from a follower of the squirming prophet. Our kingdom needs no castle, our army needs no ranks, and your destruction shall need no effort. Our reign is built on the solidity of the very ocean floor, and the shifting sands obey our every command. Legs of sand may sound weak to a fool like yourself, but if you cannot understand the simple fact that your god is dead, how can we expect any intelligence from you so called scholars? Your words are echoes of madness, a maze of broken knowledge and crumbling half-truths. Your masters library may contain all of the answers, but he is without a light.

    (Also, i’m well aware of the fact Qhaal is inspired by Lovecraftian Entities! Barney has said that both of them are lover’s of H.P.’s work. Still, Qhaal doesn’t look like one to have bones though. Let’s recommence this drama of wits and words!)

    Barney, I pray to you.
    Give us the picture of Glub. We must see him in all of his fishy glory!
