@Hobbit I try! What I'm doing is not as taxing, I'm doing it like I'm a Bloodborne cover band!
@BrushNoir Oh thank you! But it's my fake handwriting. I did it through www.myscriptfont.com. My real handwriting is way worse. If I had a nice penmanship, I wouldn't need to make a font!
@Eyliana Oof.. not a good sign. Good eye. Thanks!
@crackedskull Interesting. I've been looking at the wrong thing (dog and horse anatomy). I will take your bug advice. Thanks!
@Amit God, a week is almost over and I haven't gotten to the meat and potatoes yet. To be quite honest, I spend more time looking at things than hitting the tablet. Thanks for the link!
@slash razor Haha! An unsuspecting adventurer near a conveniently placed pool of blood! What can possibly go wrong! Thanks for the comments!
@Jan True. I kinda went to the reverse engineering approach. To be honest, my studies can be mistaken for a half baked fan art! It's tricky to nail an original design for the game. Because you are right. There is a sense of randomness in a common theme. Take for example, the Great One design language. Amygdala looks like a character lifted off from Aliens. Celestial Emmisary looks like Mario's mushroom nightmare. Mergo's Wet Nurse design looks like a reaper. Probably the only common thing I can take away is the multiple limbs and the overtly grotesque but symmetrical nature of its design.
It reminds me of the comic book "Gantz". I could not quite pinpoint a distinct theme in its villain designs.
Honestly, I do get off from bouncing design theories with you. Your insight is informational as well as entertaining. The game never came across as Lovecraftian to me until you, Amit and somebody else in the CC mentioned it. Thanks! Hey man, shoot me a PM if you want to discuss this further, or type it up in the shout-box. You know I'm interested!

Update! The struggles in the composition that I only managed to get three out.
So I turned a bit to the environment study/design.

If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!
