Dune fanart- my imagining of one of the Spacing Guild navigators, in the mental process of folding space.

Or it might be a Deep One. . . the line between the two seems rather fine, what with both having been human, and aren't anymore, and more like fish. Except Herbert goes and out-HPL's HPL there what with the whole moving through strange voids of spacetime with the mind and then folding it. I'm pretty sure Deep Ones just went down to worship their master Dagon, and didn't get Elder thing abilities conferred.

He's lovely, especially his skinny legs and fin-hair.

I much prefer Frank Herbert's original idea of Steersmen, as opposed to David Lynch's floating flesh lump.. although the skinned hamster look is sort of cute in a way. :boing:

Thanks!

Yeah, I'm not sure where Lynch managed to interpret the flesh lumps from- they have their charm, but, I think seeing some traces of humanity lingering helps to convey their rather Lovecraftian background. *g*

This is almost exactly how I imagined the navigators, only with much less of the supernatural detail and colouring (my brain is clearly not as fantastic as yours...). I love it!

it's been like 6 or 7 years since I read that book, and that was only because I was writing it.

Thanks for the comment! =) I really like drawing navigators for some reason, and have always wondered how the Lynch movie version managed to turn them into hydrocephalic slugs. XD

I saw the film before I'd read the book, so the first time I got to a description of a navigator I had to spend ten minutes trying to work out how the ones in the film fitted to it. It confused my poor brain... :giggle:

It was definitely a very interpretive film. =D If I'd read the book first, I'd probably have hated the movie, but I also saw the film first, and it broke my brain when I actually read it. XD I like the book better, but, still was a fun film.
