When I was a kid, one of my favorite books was Barlowe’s Guide to Extraterrestrials. I was endlessly fascinated by Wayne Douglas Barlowe’s paintings of alien species from science fiction novels, novellas and short stories.
Though I know most of them only through their pictures, I’ve read some of the source stories. Obviously that includes the Old Ones from H.P. Lovecraft’s At the Mountains of Madness. In tribute to my childhood fave – now grown somewhat loose-paged through age and use – I used Barlowe’s illustration as a color reference for this page from the Call of Cthulhu Coloring Book.
