Curious devices, forbidden artifacts, mysterious creatures, and intriguing documents.
Very nice work.Any indication of what creature the bone, or ivory, came from?
Seeing things like this, makes me want to get a fake bone from skullsunlimited or somewhere like that, and try scrimshawing and such.Propnomicon, why do you have to post so many awesome things that provide so many ideas and give so much inspiration?wait.... dont stop. in the name of all things ancient and forgotten, don't stop. dont ever stop.
Hey, creator here. This isn't actually any kind of ivory or bone, fake or otherwise. It's a painted resin cast from a Sculpey sculpture. Fooled ya, didn't I? ;PGot a "Dagon" version in the works as well.
@ SavageGoldfish,Figured it was something like that, what I meant was . . . what type of creature is is supposed to be from?Did you intend for it to come from something exotic? Or is it supposed to represent "regular" bone or ivory?Excellent work. ;)
I was just aiming for it to be a regular old sperm whale tooth. Something certain unsavory sailors might carve. I've seen places you can buy cast sperm whale teeth, for a slightly more "authentic" feel, I guess, than a lump of clay.
@Savage GoldfishWhy bother? Your work looks great! Hope to see more of it!
Very nice work.
