Of the three I actually like the empty test tube the most. It's a simpler prop in a technical sense, but it adds something to the story established by the other two. That's not a trivial accomplishment.

Specimens
"Zelemihr" brings us this collection of specimens from a secret Miskatonic expedition to the Antarctic in the late 1800s.

Oh much better than the ones I came up with. I went a bit overboard on dirtying up the glass.

would be super impressive.
Hrm.
I might have to go over to the craft store later this week to look for test tubes and a wooden box.
I love the ageing on the paper labels, it's bang on.

ReplyDeleteIt's LOOSE!
ReplyDeleteJason: Similar. But hey, thats where I got the idea for mine.

@Phil- You got your idea from mine too? Cool!
ReplyDeleteJason: And a good idea it was too! Thanks for the inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI guess thats the problem when you're just starting out. You see so many cool ideas and techniques that you want to try them out yourself and you're a bit afraid to deviate too far from the original idea for fear of screwing it up. Thats especially if you're on a limited income like me and worry about wasting materials.
I freely admit that I've borrowed ideas from Prop, and MRX Designs, and I'm grateful that neither has been offended.
