The Festival

New Chris Trefz artwork based on the Weird Fiction Story, "The Festival", by the master of horror and creator of Cthulhu, HP Lovecraft.

The narrator explains that he is part of a long lineage of people and every one-hundred years, a family member must venture forth to this place to take part in an ancient festival tied to Yuletide (which coincides with Christmas Eve).

The narrator soon realizes the town conceals a terrifying secret beneath its surface, as does his family lineage.

This illustration combines the modern design of Godzilla with the charm and spirit of classic Japanese films, bringing to life an exciting clash of titans in the depths of the ocean. The Artwork Description In this pencil drawing, which I later scanned and digitally colored, Godzilla takes center stage as he grapples with a colossal octopus lurking beneath the ocean's surface.
