H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos is a shared universe far larger and more terrifying than that of humanity, where ancient, malevolent beings known as the Great Old Ones slumber in the depths of space or time. After Lovecraft's death, the Mythos has been expanded and developed by many authors, including August Derleth, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard. These and many other authors have helped to flesh out the Mythos into a rich and complex Dark Universe.

Zdzisław Beksiński (February 24, 1929 – February 21, 2005) was a prominent Polish painter, photographer, and sculptor, renowned for his work in dystopian surrealism. Born in Sanok, Poland, he initially studied architecture at the Kraków Polytechnic, graduating in 1952. Despite his formal education, Beksiński had no traditional training in art and began his artistic career in the mid-1950s, focusing on painting, photography, and sculpture

That first image is used as inspiration for a pretty crazy Lovecraftian movie from a couple years ago. It’s called the The Empty Man.

I'm pretty sure it's AI. Just look at the hands

It is more likely that the AI has learned to draw crazy hands from Beksiński, rather than the other way around. 😂
