I had a look through some of my White-Wolf, Werewolf the Appocalpse books 'Freak Legion: A Players Guide to Formori', 'The Book of the Wyrm' and 'Blood Dimmed Tides.' All dealing with the ecologically currupt and bioharzard worthy, genetically altered Humans referred to in this game as Formors and the more purely evil creatures of the Wyrm and others dwelling at our oceans depths set in the 'World of Darkness' alternative to our own for some inspiration. However familar it may seem.
This creature was inspired by a toad-featured CEO Buisness man from the Formorian book. When I first saw the picture of this particlular monster. I thought it would have made a good Formorian leader or even Balor itself, though I have already tackled that one. I painted it without bothering to draw it using the Art-Rage software demo I have downloaded and come up with some thing that I now referr to as the Formorian TaxCollector. After using coulours that I thought appropiate. I assure you all that witout the modern trappings of a buisness man from our present time and the fact that my reterpretation has altered it some what to look more prim-evil. Somehting that swam out of the Northern seas or a swamp somewhere to go a raidng the tribes of the Danu villagers. It is now something that I could now almost call my own creation.
