Headhunter's Trophy

Sculptor Mark Newman brings us this excellent shrunken head prop.  Amazing work on the skin texture, and the painted base really kicks it up a notch. 

 

 

Hail to the King

What happens when a progressive rock group embraces the King in Yellow?  Shadoko42 on Reddit brings us the answer with this selection of custom props for his Call of Cthulhu campaign.

As a long-time rock DJ I absolutely love this stuff.  There's a huge overlap between the history of rock and roll and the occult that can serve as very fertile ground for the Mythos.  Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin has made no secret of his fascination with Alistair Crowley.  That includes his purchase of Boleskin House, one of The Beast's former residences.  David Bowie was a serious believer in magic in addition to his fondness for science fiction, making him a particularly appropriate inspiration.

 

 

Unearthed

An amazing look at the artifacts uncovered by a team from Miskatonic University during a middle-east expedition in the 1930s.  Brought to us from Andrea Bonazzi's personal collection of Miskatonic ephemera.

 

 

Thrannox the Blue

Lion heads?  A stuffed bear?  Pshaw!  Real hunters have a dragon mounted on their wall.  The gifted Winton Afric brings us the head of Thrannox the Blue, the latest in his series of dragon specimens.

 

 

A World of Wands

McCormick Wands returns to our pages with a new selection of wands, this time in a slender, black and red style.  One of the things I love about wand collecting is the sheer variety of versions available.

 

 

Ancient Ritual Mask

This Lovecraft-inspired ancient ritual mask comes to us from artist Aleksandr Sivkov.  I really like how he's taken the basic form of tribal ancestor and spirit masks and given it a Giger-ish spin.

 

 

The Face of the King

Jason Soles of "Gods Below" has been producing Mythos artwork for years.  That includes the awesome cover for the D20 version of "Call of Cthulhu".  His latest is "The Face of the King" mask in cast bronze. 

 

 

Pulp Cthulhu Props

Sweet fancy Moses, these are gorgeous.  Over on Reddit, Djonas3 has posted a gallery of the paper props he created for a Pulp Cthulhu campaign based on the Arkham Horror "Scarlet Keys" expansion.  Click through to check out the full collection.  

In the comments they mention something that genuinely blew my mind- manila folders aren't available in Europe.   The covers for his suspect reports had to be created from cardstock. 

 

Throw the Runes

Tyler McCormick returns to our pages with these nifty hand-forged runes.  There's something to be said for a divinatory tool that has enough heft to serve as a weapon. 

 

Heads Up

Tom Kuebler returns to our pages with this collection of traditional gaff-style shrunken heads.  The woven headbands are a nice touch.

 

 

Hail to the King

Artist James Gardner brings us this wonderful theatrical poster for a production of "The King in Yellow".  Sadly, he doesn't appear to have it available for sale.

 

 

Not of This Earth

It's been a while since we've featured a full-blown prop set like this one from Creafae.  It not only features a nicely done Grey alien-style fetal specimen, but a slew of supporting documents and props. 

 That includes photographs, slides, and supplementary references for the included scientific report. 

The report itself is a wonderful piece of work describing the recovery of the specimen(s) and the resulting autopsy.  Some wonderful worldbuilding is on display here.  Click through on the link above to see the complete gallery.

 

House Telvanni Amulet

"The wizard-lords of House Telvanni have traditionally isolated themselves, pursuing wisdom and mastery in solitude. But certain ambitious wizard-lords, their retainers, and clients have entered wholeheartedly into the competition to control and exploit Vvardenfell's land and resources, building towers and bases all along the eastern coast. According to Telvanni principles, the powerful define the standards of virtue..."

— Great Houses of Morrowind

This amulet of House Telvanni from the Elder Scrolls videogame series comes to us from Silverrend Props.

 

 

Worn and Weathered Tome

This massive beast of a tome comes to use from the talented Sladjana Vukelic.  She has a very unique style of construction and weathering that I absolutely adore. 

 

Idol of an Ancient God

Morok Art Studio returns to our pages with this intriguing idol.  It depicts Hassara, a primal steppe god created by author E. Lear. 

 

Eye of the Faun

Inspired by "Pan's Labyrinth", Mats Labyrinth brings us this faun pendant inset with a domed smoky quartz.
