Mark of the Raven

Designer Ugo Serrano returns to our pages with this nicely done raven fetish.  Carved from antler with an inset garnet eye.

 

 

The Ryman Cthulhu

Todd Van Bronkhorst was kind enough to send over some shots of the James Ryman Cthulhu idol from Nemesis Now.  I've featured the sculpt before, but wasn't aware it was now commercially available.  It's a gorgeous piece, despite some oddness with the paint ops on the eyes.  What blew my mind was the fact the 12" figure was available for around $50.  That's an absolute steal for a figure like this.  With a repaint it would be an absolutely perfect prop.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Tvaristika Edition.

The stars are right, and the torrent of new Cthulhu idols continues.  The latest is this version from Russian artist Tvaristika, pictured below in two different finishes.

 

 

 

Making a Drinking Horn

For Tutorial Tuesday, Dark Horse Workshop brings us this instructional video on how to finish a drinking horn.  Suitable cow horns are dirt cheap on Ebay, and you can have a great tabletop or LARP accessory with a minimum of effort.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Pincel Edition.

 The springtime flurry of Cthulhu idols continues with this multi-eyed sculpt from artist Martillo Pincel.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Lurci Edition.

Spring is in the air, and with it a noticeable uptick in Mythos artworks.  The latest is this cool Cthulhu idol from artist Ebrahel Lurci. After all these years it's a joy to discover a new, unique take on the Great Old One.

 

Egyptian Artifact

It's been far too long since we last featured artist James Ewing of the Ewing Workshop.  His latest project is this commissioned Egyptian artifact, crafted from brass, copper, and steel with four inset crystals.  It's a wonderful piece, but I have to admit I actually like the patinated version more than the polished one.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Verhoeven Edition.

The talented Maarten Verhoeven returns to our pages with his latest Cthulhu idol.   Absolutely gorgeous work.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Sass Edition.

Artist Mike Sass brings us this prototype 3D print of a new Cthulhu idol.  I can't wait to see the finished paint job.

 

 

Dagon Rises

"With only a slight churning to mark its rise to the surface, the thing slid into view above the dark waters. Vast, Polyphemus-like, and loathsome, it darted like a stupendous monster of nightmares to the monolith, about which it flung its gigantic scaly arms, the while it bowed its hideous head and gave vent to certain measured sounds."

- "Dagon", H. P. Lovecraft

That terrifying moment in Lovecraft's story is captured by this new Dagon statuette from Morok Art Studio.

 

 

Great Cthulhu

Ed Brilliant brings us this excellent Cthulhu bust.  It's absolutely amazing how good desktop 3D printing has become.  I'm still seeing a lot of items with the horrible striations produced by hot melt machines, but the fidelity of resin printers has seriously blurred the line between digital and physical sculpts.

 

Primitive Cthulhu

It appears it's the week for Cthulhu-themed Kickstarter premiums.  The latest is this trio of items from Bryan Fyffe, featuring a primitive Cthulhu idol, presentation bag, and metal token.

 

The King in Yellow

This nicely done King in Yellow plaque and accompanying presentation box come to us from Hastur Tarot.  They're premium rewards in Kickstarter for, surprisingly enough, a Hastur-themed tarot deck.

 

Mythos Adventure Gear

I absolutely adore this tableaux from Una Bruja en Terramar.  The collection of props and ephemera is like a snapshot halfway through an RPG scenario. 

 

The Innsmouth Look

How cool is this?  Spookers Haunted Attractions brings us one of the denizens of their Innsmouth-themed show.  The amazing makeup was designed by Richard Redlefsen.

 

For the Well Equipped Wizard

 McCormack Wands returns to our pages with this beautifully well-crafted trio of wizard's wands. 

 

Wasteland Warrior

This "Bonesaw Raider" post-apocalyptic LARP costume comes to us from Leif-Erik.  Click through for a full gallery with a detailed look at each piece of the ensemble.

 

Letters, We Get Letters...

I don't think this is a joke, since it's from the same email address as someone that was looking to commission some Harry Potter props a few years ago.

Dear Sir,

Having returned as a penitent to the Catholic Church, I write both to denounce your website as full of evil, Harry Potter as full of devilry and the wickedness of magic and to implore you to do penance likewise in the Holy Church.

Incidentally, my <redacted name> relation was more distant, a lie of false intimacy and another sin.

<redacted name>, the worst of sinners.

As some of you are aware, I'm an ordained minister.  My enthusiastic embrace of fleshly delights in my younger days is long past, but rest assured I'm as much a sinner as anyone, .  That said, I believe having a Harry Potter wand is the least of the debits in my spiritual ledger.  

If I am informed otherwise, hopefully many, many years from now, I will do my utmost to update you.

Long Live the King

The talented Israel Botelho returns with his latest grimoire page.  This time, the featured subject is Hastur's King in Yellow avatar.

 

Helm of the Horned Rat

Creadores a sueldo returns to our pages with this Warhammer-inspired Helm of the Horned Rat.

 

Hail to the King

 This beautiful tooled leather embossment of the King in Yellow comes to us from artist Valeriya Tarko.

 

 

Swearing Gnome

I'm continually amazed at Alice Tochylovska's creativity and craftsmanship.  Her latest work is this bound, two-headed swearing gnome specimen.  Click through to see her extensive gallery and the creature's detailed lore.

 

Have You Seen the Sign?

This Derleth-style Elder Sign embossment comes to us from artist Danny Cabaña.  It's one side of a Mythos themed box he's working on, with updates on his Instagram account.
