The Mi-Go, the Official Lovecraftian Monster of Vermont

Personally I always feel wings of the Migou should stray away from being too much like earthly insects, while insects are technically now known to be nested in Crustacea, I feel it goes away frrom the initial impression Lovecraft wanted to give.

The Yeti version by Kurt is amazing.

Also Note from the artist

My brother just reposted this video of a ladybird beetle taking flight in slow motion. Seeing this video might have changed everything about how I constructed my Mi-Go. I’ve been photographing insects for years and I didn’t know that their wings unfolded like cellophane sheets!

Also the author’s note about molting makes me think

I think the ideal Mi-Go would be a combination of this and ernojhasz’s

I feel this version’s torso evokes something more a “crab” than a lobster, like something in the middle of

carcinisation (or carcinization). (Look it up, its really weird, turns out crabs are actually multiple different unrelated groups of crustaceans that evolved a similar bodyplan.)

Ah apologies about the dead end thought about molting: I was thinking how migo might be able to fake their own deaths.
