Mi-go

[Krysset80]

Fenris Mi-go made with all the parts and the autopsy table. Like how they came out even tho taking pics always seem to make the paintjob look worse.

Very nice, liking the colours that you've picked there.

Like the green brains. Mi-go and Dark Young are my favorite Lovecraft beasts.

Wow, forgot almost about them until I started to look at the model line. Time to go back and reread some books!!!

I like the table one, be a nice scenery item or objective.

Thanks all, I tried to stay close to the colors in the story tho think they were discribed as pink crablike creatures.

Those are very nice Krysset80. Mi-Go are one of my favorites as well.

Nicely done - I'm actually reading Whisperer in Darkness right now and the pinky tone seems right. I think he says their cranium changes hue as they communicate with one another, so anything could work there really.

Great work.

I suppose it's not news to a lot of you but I'm always intrigued that "mi-go" is an alternative term for our old pal, the yeti. I wonder what really happened to Mallory and Hunt?

And once again, a really neat piece of work.

It surprises me too, as so far as I can tell Lovecraft didn't call them Mi-go either, he just drew a comparison between his invented creatures in the Vermont hills and the real world legends of abominable snowmen in the Himalayas. I guess later generations of writers applied the name to them.

I knew that snowmen were called mi-go in Nepal from that Tintin comic before I read any of Lovecraft stuff. Tho tbh I dident find out Lovecrafts creatures were called Mi-go untill I got hold of some cards for a game. Remind me, do he ever name them in any story?

Actually, they have many names in Lovecraft's writtings, mainly as they're refered as stuff of legends all over the world, giving many names in regard to the culture they've been in contact with (from Celts to Tibetans through american natives). The name of 'mi-go' is attached to them by further Mythos contributors, not Lovecraft himself. Yet he placed the reference in the 'whisperer in darkness' short story, not naming them 'mi-go', but saying they're connected to the tibetan legend of Mi-go.
I guess the name was exotic enought to be retaken as a generic name for the race of extraterrestrial beings. Remember it was the 30s, and the same source of inspiration in philosophy, cultural features and sprirtual beliefs were highly (mis)used.
