Hail to the King

Artist Yu Chung brings us this excellent King in Yellow statuette.  Check out his feed and you can see the entire process of it being digitally sculpted, sent out for 3D printing in resin, and the final paint job.   

 

"None More Black" Handouts

Over on Reddit, Nelog has posted a collection of handouts for the "None More Black" adventure from Chaosium's "Doors to Darkness" scenario collection.  The investigators are tasked with finding out what's going on after a student at Miskatonic University dies after taking a dangerous black-market drug.  The original version was set in the classic era of the 1920s.  Nelog had the brilliant idea to run it as a "Delta Green" scenario, transplanting the action to 1980's Miami.  "Miami Vice" meets the Mythos?  Sign me up.

He was kind enough to make all of the documents he created for the game available over here on Google Docs. 

 

Merchant Mask and Armor

I've been a fan of artist Tomàs Barceló for some time, as his past appearances here on the blog can attest.  Head over to his ArtStation page and you can see this mask and armor set he created for himself when he's appearing at shows.  He has a real gift for creating pieces that feel like artifacts from the past.

 

 

Reproducing Vintage Documents

Dean Adelaide of Cthulhu Reborn is no stranger to these pages.  Over the years he has become one of the go-to resources for all kinds of prop documents and handouts for Mythos gaming.  He's distilled some of that experience into an excellent post providing detailed, step by step instructions for creating your own vintage prop documents. 

"Over time I have developed quite a selection of techniques for using digital tools — designed to make crisp and precise artworks — to make things that are not at all crisp or precise. I thought that folks might be interested in seeing how different techniques can come together to make something like the example above look old … so here’s a quick run-through of how I approach creating designs like this.

Although the techniques I mention below make particular reference to features in Adobe Illustrator (my tool of choice), I’m sure that most if not all of them are also available in other drawing packages. BTW: for all images shown on this page, you can click to see larger versions."

The Mythos Papers

 "In November 1927 several floods ravaged the state of Vermont. Once the waters settled, some strange stories appeared about bodies found floating in some of the rivers after the flooding. The number of stories was such that even the press picked up several of these testimonies. A group of experts from the University of Miskatonic came to the region to study what was true in them, being the present document part of the field notebook of one of the professors." 

Artist Ion Ander has an ongoing project illustrating creatures from the Mythos in the form of notebook pages.  His entry for the Mi-Go is one of the best takes on the Fungi from Yuggoth I've seen.
