The Necronomicon, Christian Edition.

Colin Christian returns to our pages with this massive recreation of the Necronomicon.  Featuring a custom sculpted and cast resin cover.

 

The Shining Trapezohedron

Of the Shining Trapezohedron he speaks often, calling it a window on all time and space, and tracing its history from the days it was fashioned on dark Yuggoth, before ever the Old Ones brought it to earth. It was treasured and placed in its curious box by the crinoid things of Antarctica, salvaged from their ruins by the serpent-men of Valusia, and peered at aeons later in Lemuria by the first human beings. It crossed strange lands and stranger seas, and sank with Atlantis before a Minoan fisher meshed it in his net and sold it to swarthy merchants from nighted Khem. The Pharaoh Nephren-Ka built around it a temple with a windowless crypt, and did that which caused his name to be stricken from all monuments and records. Then it slept in the ruins of that evil fane which the priests and the new Pharaoh destroyed, till the delver’s spade once more brought it forth to curse mankind.

 - H.P. Lovecraft, "The Haunter of the Dark"

The Real Schlitzie brings us this recreation of the accursed Shining Trapezohedron.  For a doom-bringing alien artifact it looks pretty cool.

 

Two Heads Are Better Than One

This sideshow-style two-headed fetus gaff comes to us from artist Dawn McRatterson.  The classic photographs are a nice touch.

 

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Krotik Edition.

 This miniature Cthulhu idol comes to us from horror artist Popin Krotik.

 

Happy Hobbits

Photographer Cajsa Li brings us this teaser for the "Rosamunda's Testament" LARP.  The hobbit-themed event is being held in Berghem, Sweden.  To be honest, desperate battles against the forces of evil are all well and good, but I'm at the age where doing hobbity things all weekend long sounds like a great time.

 

Monstrance

Ugo Serrano returns to our pages with this very nice prop monstrance.  It's a beautiful example of craftsmanship and an amusing meta item considering the...questionable... nature of actual monstrances.

 

Hammer of the Odinson

Wyrdcor is back with this wonderful Hammer of Thor pendant, hand-forged from iron.

 

Tome of Akatosh

This beautiful tome bearing the symbol of Akatosh from the "Skyrim" video game comes to us from Alex Libris.  

 

Mother Hydra

The talented Joe Broers returns to our pages with this excellent idol of Mother Hydra.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Burlingham Edition.

This notably octopoidal Cthulhu idol comes to us from artist Danny Burlingham.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Marquez Edition.

Alberto Camargo Marquez returns to our pages with this nicely done Cthulhu idol.

 

Consult the Runes!

The talented Arend Smith returns to our pages with this nifty elder futhark rune skull.

 

Bigfoot

 Professional effects artist Patrick Magee returns to our pages with this phenomenal sasquatch costume.

 

 

Mythos Canopic Jars

Canopic jars were used by the ancient Egyptians during the mummification process to store and preserve the viscera of their owner for the afterlife. They were commonly either carved from limestone or were made of pottery.- Wikipedia entry for Canopic Jars

BoneMaster brings us this collection of canopic jars, replacing the heads of the Egyptian gods with the Great Old Ones of the Mythos. 

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Sqooex Edition.

Digital artist Romphoe Sqooex brings us this amazing Cthulhu idol.  It really leans into the alien nature of the great old one while paying respects to Lovecraft's original sketch.  Click through for a full 360 degree gallery of the sculpt.

 

Great Cthulhu

I'm going to mark this day on my calendar.  This is one of the best Cthulhu sculpts I've ever seen, and it's made of...cardboard.  The appropriately named Taiwanese artist Cardboardnose specializes in large scale paper art, and he's really knocked it out of the park with this piece. 

 

The Black Pharaoh

Obscuriat Walser is teasing their upcoming Mythos prop set and adventure.  It features some outstanding ephemera and a very nice boxed tablet of Nyarlathotep.  Click through to see the full gallery of items on their Instagram page.

 

 

It Glows

Despite my senior citizen status, when it comes to things that light up I'm like a 5-year old.  Hence the little squee I gave out when I saw these glowing crystal pendants from Spanish prop creators Creadores a sueldo.

 

Kingsport Cthulhu

Joe Broers is one of the best Mythos artists, and he's been on an absolute tear lately.  His latest is this nicely done "Kingsport Cthulhu" idol.  It's a great sculpt, and I really like his approach to the head.
