Great design, great sculpt and some snazzy weather effects there Zarono! The rime coated mane and brows of some eldritch scion that swoops from out the dark and feels not frost nor fear.
Aye, what is an arctic chill to a thing that has crossed the cold dark voids between the stars.
And is this entity the real explanation for a certain recently de-classified mystery resembling the Dyatlov Pass incident?
"...I want to know where I came from and why and what relation I hold to the rest of the universe."

Is this AI assisted concept art? If so what is your take on it?
Thanks VK! Yep, I made the basic figure with ai (stable diffusion) and then added better details of the hands and face by in photoshop. I've been tinkering with ai recently and it is extremely fun, it's kind of random sometimes you get great results that are inspirational and sometimes hilariously stupid ones. I know a lot of people are worried about the copyright issues and I have dealt with that issue for years, but for now the way I see it the cat is out of the bag with ai so enjoy it. I don't think ai is going to replace human artists outright, but it is going to allow people to be creative in new ways because it only produces from human direction. Side note it's especially good for concept work, here's a work in progress version of Niord from Valley of the Worm (as seen in a 1980's fantasy movie), if I ever get around to working on it I'll add more details like scars from the Sabertooth fight and maybe some weird ruins.
Crom Ya looks kind of like a beefed up Keneau Reeves and Njord a tad like Dolph Lundgren.
Thanks! Spot on with Niord, you can't get anymore Aesir than Dolph. Crom-Ya's face was based on Charles Bronson but now that you mention he does bare a strong Keanu resemblance. Here's another recent one, "a photo from the 1968 film The Servants of Yig" not a real movie of course but I would have the dvd if it was.

Was Servants of Yig an Eddie Romero movie or am I thinking of the similar 1975 Pam Grier vehicle Slaves of the Cobra Queen?

Eddie Romero movie filmed in Mexico though, apprently there was some caves there that the producers demanded as a location.
The Servants of Yig was one of actor Clint McKane's few leading roles.. McKane was a stuntman and was also a producer of several low budget action/horrror films, left the movie business in the late 70's and was never heard from again. Oscure movie trivia: McKane had red hair but dyed it black whenever he was to appear on film.

That still looks like it's from when McKane played a heavy on the 1965 tv series Keva Dunes, a short lived "girl detective" show starring Shelly Fabares.
What is your take on the oft repeated rumors that McKane was murdered by indigenous people in the Amazon while scouting locations for a "comeback" movie?

Rumors of McKane's death were greatly exaggerated, I have a feeling he's still around today and dyeing his hair a different color, That pic of McKane is from "Warlords of Lemuria" another film he produced and starred in as Captain Rolf Arden, it's a scene early in the film where archeologist Cassilda Van Kirk (played by british actress Tiffy Harrow) shows Captain Arden a statue of a Lemurian goddess to convince him to undertake the dangerous voyage into the Sargasso Sea.

I seem to remember a minor kerfuffle when Shock Theater accidentally showed Warlords of Lemuria uncut on local television.
