Yog-Sothoth

"It was an All-in-One and One-in-All of limitless being and self—not merely a thing of one Space-Time continuum, but allied to the ultimate animating essence of existence’s whole unbounded sweep—the last, utter sweep which has no confines and which outreaches fancy and mathematics alike. It was perhaps that which certain secret cults of earth have whispered of as YOG-SOTHOTH, and which has been a deity under other names; that which the crustaceans of Yuggoth worship as the Beyond-One, and which the vaporous brains of the spiral nebulae know by an untranslatable Sign—yet in a flash the Carter-facet realised how slight and fractional all these conceptions are."

The All-in-One and One-in-All (at least how I came to imagine it). Designwise I took huge inspiration from the world of quantum physics, trying to comprehend how a being that would exist based on those laws would look like. Yog-Sothoth sits at the center of what makes our reality - everything comes and goes together within it, which is represented by the tentacle-like appendages that lead away from the core structure at the center, which consists of countless orbs. Little easter egg for chemistry nerds: the number of glowing colored orbs at the center, which maybe could be described as Yog's "body", equals the number of elements found in the periodic system. Additionally, the non-colored orbs represents elements unknown to mankind, maybe even to our universe. The yellow glowing swirls that carry multiple smaller orbs could be described as minions of Yog-Sothoth, which, once collected enough dimensional mass (orbs) will 'bury' themselves beneath Yog-Sotoths surface and become new Shub Niggurths, who, in turn, will breed new universes in all kinds of shapes and forms. The emerging orbs from beneath the surface, represent universes that have 'died' and are coming back to the plane of Yog-Sothoth to gather new dimensional mass, so they will eventually become new universes, as the circle continues.
