Hellboy Hyberborean Amulet

Dale Bigford was kind enough to send over his latest project, recreating a Hyperborean protective amulet from the Hellboy comic series.


 The amulet made appearances in two separate storylines:

This curious Hyperborean demonic protection amulet has only turned up twice in the Hellboy universe but in vastly different times. The first appearance was in "The Abyss of Time" in which one is gifted to the stone age hero Gall Dennar by an insane old hermit living near demonically haunted Hyperborean ruins. The second appearance comes in 1985 in "The Whittier Legacy" where a mathematician learns he comes from a long line of sorcerers. He grave robs three of his ancestors corpses to conduct a ritual to commune with alien/demonic beings. However the now animated corpses inform Hellboy when he arrives that they always used these medallions for protection. The mathematician, not having one is posessed and transforms into a monster. Hellboy uses one of the medallions to drive the demon out, killing the mathematician. Fans have speculated about the medallions ever since.

Venerable Moth Priest

"The priests of the Ancestor Moth are devoted to veneration of those who came before us, for the wisdom of the ancestors can sing the future into the present. As such, we alone have the privilege of interpreting the Elder Scrolls." 

—Sister Terran Arminus 

 This excellent Moth Priest costume, complete with Elder Scroll, comes to us from Puschel Craft.

Functional Dwemer Gyro

This is pretty cool.  Kagr3nac of Etherium Props recreated the Dwemer Gyro from Skyrim in both a static *and* a fully functional version.  Even better, they've released the STL files so you can 3D print your own.

Filmmaker Bryan Moore commissioned artist Paul Komoda to create this maquette of a ghoul from H.P. Lovecraft's "Pickman's Model".  It's an impressive piece, capturing the horrific, canine nature of the eaters of the dead.

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

Phillip S. brings us this recreation of Lovecraft's Shining Trapezohedron.  I believe this is painted resin, in which case it's a phenomenal paint job.
