A cover for the upcoming number 10 of "Studi Lovecraftiani" [link] , an Italian publication about HPL. This picture was a lot of fun to do, 'cause I had the opportunity to paint both Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard in the same piece. As HPL is probably fighting or calling from the deep some ancestral horror, Robert Howard is using the sword of one of his better known characters, Conan, to send the horrible serpent people back to hell. ;)
Having read some of the letters that HPL & REH used to send to each other I think they could have had some fun in seeing themselves depicted this way... Or at least is what I sincerely hope. This work is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Howard Phillips Lovecraft and Robert Ervin Howard.

Man this is excellent! It think it's cool how you used a couple of colors a lot. Brown, green, red and blue. It works incredibly well. This is another one to belong to your top works.

This kicks so much ass! Strong composition, beautiful colors and fantastic homage! I'm sure both of them would be proud of this piece. Also, I really liked the story, and congratulations for the publication, Matteo! :+fav:
