"The hounds of tindolos, sometimes referred to as "strikers" Are large Alien beasts, I myself have never had the pleasure of seeing one and all descriptions I've gotten from the three known survivors very considerably. Likely due to contact with eldrich in general.

I love this, it just barely evokes the shape of a hound while being completely alien

Alien entities that are capable of time travel by going into angles? That sounds like something from Doctor Who.Β

This is an excellent rendition of such an abstract monster. well done. Will the Hounds of Tindalos expansion ever be realesed separately from the kickstarter ? I have no credit card, so I wouldn't be able to participate in the kickstarter.

Yes it will. I will have extra copies. I'm still planning on doing the kickstarter soon but no timetable. Work gets in the way

One of the better versions of the Hounds I have seen. Too many artists actually make them look dog-like; this, I think, is incorrect. They are canine only in that they _hunt_, not because they look like them. I like your version quite a bit. Alternatively, given their alien and not-quite-completely-solid nature, their form might be "formed" by the mental image of the prey, filtered through the Hound's alien psyche, forming a blasphemous creature that could be considered "dog-like" only in it's vaguest sense.

Thanks! I always appreciate when people notice the time I took to research and really put thought into the design.

Stunning work; the Hounds of Tindalos are such an interesting, deeply frightening kind of monster (imagine being afraid of corners & angles...), and I like your take on them. This one reminds me of a shoggoth.

"They are lean and athirst! All the evil in the universe was concentrated in their lean, hungry bodies. Or had they bodies? I saw them only for a moment, I cannot be certain."

Well, if I wasn't afraid of corners and angles before, I am now... Honestly, if this is what a mortal mind can think of when it comes to Hounds, how much more terrifying can the unthinkably REAL ones be?
That aside, I like this look for the hounds. It has less of an actual canine feel beyond the moving on four feet. The more, ah--penetrating design gives it an very unpleasant feeling to look at and frankly this is definitely a design that I would use to describe the creatures in any game I would run. Excellent job!
