Hope you like reading long descriptions. You have my condelences if you don't. :)
What it is and what it does

Daoloth (The Render of Veils or The Parter of Veils) dwells in dimensions beyond the three we know. His astrologer-priests are said to be able to see the past and the future and even how objects extend into and travel between different dimensions.

Daoloth's indescribable shape causes viewers to go mad at the sight of him; thus, he must be summoned in pitch-black darkness. If not held within some kind of magical containment, he continues to expand and expand—perhaps even at an infinite rate. Those enveloped by the god are transported to utterly bizarre and remote worlds, usually perishing as a result. Daoloth's worship is rare on earth.

One request that can be made to Daoloth, magically contained, is to view things as they really are, not as our veiled senses perceive them. The sight is more than one can bear.

Did H.P lovecraft really make this?
No, Daoloth isn't made by lovecraft himself BUT it is made by Ramsey Campbell who is one of the authors who continued to expand the Cthulhu Mythos and they continued to use the strongest kind of fear, the fear of the unknown.

How the guy who made it described it
[The image of Daoloth was not] shapeless, but so complex that the eye could recognize no describable shape. There were hemispheres and shining metal, coupled by long plastic rods. The rods were of a flat grey colour, so that he could not make out which were nearer; they merged into a flat mass from which protruded individual cylinders. As he looked at it, he had a curious feeling that eyes gleamed from between these rods; but wherever he glanced at the construction, he saw only the spaces between them.

How I made it
I didn't want it to be only one color like Ramsey described it, so there's gold and silver bits for metal. The purple and the light blue colors are plastic. I didn't want to use only the first layer to seem it had no spaces because it literally had no spaces. :/

I also made four eyes. A blue, a green, a maroon, and a yellow one.
