The Lady of Innsmouth was created as an alternate view of the residents of Innsmouth as portrayed in H.P. Lovecraft’s The Shadow Over Innsmouth. In the original story the residents of Innsmouth are described as being ugly and fish-like with strange unblinking eyes. They are disliked and distrusted by outsiders mostly because they are different. I wanted to take that rough description and create how maybe one of the Innsmouth folk looked as she started transforming into her aquatic self before joining her family below Devil’s Reef. Beautiful and alien.
This final version of the Lady of Innsmouth is an 8½ inch tall bust in fully painted resin
