Perhaps you have seen this conceptual drawing.
Otherwise,this is the concept.
Made with Autodesk Skechbook Pro, Photoshop, Wacom Bamboo, and few Hours.
Y spend you like this:



"The dead came to life when they felt the voice of Shuub Niggurath ..."

looks cool, like the mouths on the back, makes the impression there's more than one demonic soul inhabiting that corpse.

Very cool.

I knew someone in highschool who had a similar style to yours. Reminescent of late 80s Iron Maiden covers (hence very apt in the context of Quake).

Oh also, did you use a texture or something for the dried-out ground?

All those mouths on their backs, are by the grace of Shuub Niggurath, and her sinister powers over dead matter ...
Shuub Niggurath was a deity of fertility, according to Lovecraft. But then, I have taken the liberty to interpret this to my taste.
Shuub Niggurath is the mother of all evil beings and creatures of Quake, but born of the deaths of the victims delivered to her ...
That's the concept I tried to create in the Zombies, for example.
Shuub Niggurath alters the dead and reality in its own dimension of shapes, unintended ...
