The Elder Things and Other Uncataloged Species

I was commissioned to design a decorative poster illustration based on the tale "At the Mountains of Madness" by the american horror author H.P. Lovecraft. The story is narrated by the character Dr. William Dyer, a geology professor who survived a failed research expedition in unexplored points of the South Pole in the year of 1930. Throughout the story the narrator faces the existence of nameless creatures whose conception, morphology and culture are beyond human comprehension.

The intent on this project was to explore how the discoveries made in this expedition would become public in the scientific community if Dr. William Dyer decided to publish an article 10 years after the events narrated in Lovecraft's story.
