Gug by nJoo Gug by nJoo
Illo for Pathfinder 11 :)

"a hairy, 20-foot-tall giant with two burly forearms sprouting from each arm; a powerful, muscular body; and a mouth that splits its face vertically.
It has bulbous pink eyes, yellow teeth, a long powerful inhuman tongue, and appendages covered in coarse black fur. This thing lives deep underground, an should look like its never seen the sun. It looks hungry."

Maan... I once saw an accident where the guy fell from the third floor, and his had was opened EXACTLY like this... with eyes opened and everything...

... brings back bad memories. T___T

But hey, what a great character concept! I really liked the details and the colours, keep up the great work!

It's a creature from H.P. Lovecraft's "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" written in 1927... well before Quake :P

Very faithful rendition I might add! Nice work.

Um... cuz it was an illustration done for the DnD magazine Pathfinder, I have no clue where it's from ;P was given the description and ref. I doubt it orginated from Quake, if anything it's a similar creature maybe

it is exactly the same creature, same name, appearance... check this quake 1 addon here:
[link]

the addon is few years old, hard to say what was first, Quoth addon or the DnD Pathfinder illustration. the monster is very lovecraftian though (the mouth etc) so it fits perfectly to the world of Quake.

Ah then i think the add-on used an existing fantasy character, I don't know the detail for these fantasy stuff, but was from old DnD, because I was given a reference that was from 6-7 years ago I think and to do a new drawing of it ;) I'm sure the hardcore dnd ppl would know the history of Gug better hehe

I will have to ask the Quoth creator about Gug's origin, he will tell us.

Gugs originated in H. P. Lovecraft's "Dreamland" stories, especially "Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath".

Agree! Way too many artists make their versions of this monster's mouth too lurid. Sadly I've seen a couple different gugs with "button noses"
