Father of Serpents

The gifted Jason McKittrick returns to our pages with this Idol of Yig from the Miskatonic University collection.

Orc Shaman

This incredible orc shaman costume comes to us from German LARPer nebelmotte.  I can't even imagine the hours of work that went into the layers of costume elements and auxiliary props.  Thanks to Moritz Jendral for the photos.

LARP Combat Knives

At this point it's safe to say that LARP weaponry is essentially indistinguishable from the real thing.  These amazingly realistic combat knives come to us from the extremely talented Steelgohst.  The weathering is just fantastic.

Cthulhu in Copper

These nicely done copper Cthulhu pendants come to us from Curionomicon.

Tentacled Thing

The gifted Karen Main returns to our pages with this horrid little creature.  And by "horrid" I mean "awesome".

For the Horde!

This beautiful orcish weapon and armor set was inspired by Grommash Hellscream from the World of Warcraft MMO.  It's a collaborative effort between Artisans d'Azure (belt, harness, leatherwork, makeup) and Nemesis Workshop (latex and foam pieces). Photography by Karim Photography.

Vanquish Fantasy Font

The Vanquish fantasy font comes to us from Designer Jean-Pierre S. Sullivan.  It features wonderfully flowing calligraphic glyphs and is available free for personal use under a Creative Commons license.  Just follow the link and click on the "Download" button in the upper right hand corner to download the TTF file.

Carnivora

I wasn't surprised to learn there's a huge community of crafters that specialize in making polymer clay flowers.  They're cute, but not really my thing.  What did raise an eyebrow was the work of DarkWonderLand by Melavia, who specializes in "alternative floristics" like this creeptastic bloom.  

Idol of Tsathoggua

"In that secret cave in the bowels of Voormithadreth abides from eldermost eons the god Tsathoggua. You shall know Tsathoggua by his great girth and his batlike furriness and the look of a sleepy black toad which he has eternally. He will rise not from his place, even in the ravening of hunger, but will wait in divine slothfulness for the sacrifice."

The talented Jason McKittrick returns to our pages with this well done idol of Clark Ashton Smith's Tsathoggua.

Miskatonic Antarctic Expedition Notes

Ion Ander brings us this intriguing excerpt from the journal of Professor Lake, one of the leaders of the ill-fated Miskatonic University expedition to the antarctic.

Giant Cthulhu Idol

I think this is the largest Cthulhu idol we've ever featured here on Propnomicon.  Choose Cthulhu brings us this gigantic sculpt, created as a promotional item for their Cthulhu game book.

Aged Bottle

El Dodo Albino returns to our pages with a look at his aging process for an apothecary bottle.  The only additional suggestion I would have is using colored powdered grout in place of talcum powder.  It's available in dozens of different shades and adds a really dusty, grungy feel to props.

Wand Permit Application

Michael R. Maranda created this outstanding wand permit application for a "Fantastic Beasts" LARP event. 

Under the Sign of the Dragon

Artist Martin Quarz brings us this Warhammer-inspired chaos dragon banner sigil. 

Viking Pouch

This beautiful leather pouch comes to us from Canadian artist Cheyenne Williams.  Featuring hand-tooled viking knotwork designs finished with buffed beeswax.

The Innsmouth Look

Professional makeup artist Javier Aliaga brings us his take on a fully mutated Innsmouth cultist.  I can't wait to see the final appliance.

The Signs

Marika Schirmacher returns to our pages with this collection of amulets bearing the magical sigils from the Witcher video game series.

Classical Brass

Anyone can have a pocket, but for the really important stuff you need a machined brass Personal Transport Canister.  This wonderfully fiddly brass container comes to us from Adventure Depot. 

The Great Old One

This fun little Cthulhu bust comes to us from sculptor Willie Cowper.

Blade of Cthulhu

This nicely done Cthulhu dagger comes to us from propmaker Johan Waxin.

Wand of Polymorph

El Dodo Albino returns to our pages after a long absence with his take on the Wand of Polymorph from the latest edition of Dungeons and Dragons.  I love seeing iconic pen and paper items turned into physical props.

Feed Me, Seymour!

The Monster Sandbox brings us their take on Audrey II from "The Little Shop of Horrors".

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Wiland Edition.

Nat Wiland brings us this Cthulhu idol complete with presentation case.

Toothsome

Karen Main returns to our pages with this cyclopean monstrosity.  Just the thing for that special someone this holiday season.

Idol of Dagon

The gifted Joe Broers returns to our pages with this excellent stone Dagon idol.  He's been one of the most consistent Mythos artists of the last decade.

Heavy Metal

In honor of Fallout 76, Wasteland Weber brings us the factory made helmet from the Power Armor edition of the game and his custom-made classic version.

Mo' Money

This collection of reproduction cash for a period LARP comes to us from the talented Michael R. Maranda.

Great Cthulhu

Artist Ricardo Orozco brings us this nicely done Cthulhu bust.  Not to be judgemental, but I think the table drape detracts from the cosmic horror.  Heh.

Mummified Monstrousity

This misshapen mummified skeleton comes to us from The Freak.

Warhammer

Sander Propworx returns to our pages with this amazing LARP warhammer. Just look at the detail in that closeup shot. It's a far cry from the cheesy boffer weapons of the 90s.

The Weaver

We are surrounded by threads of life-force connecting each and every one of us.  Manipulating those strands is the purview of the Weavers, an ancient race of creatures much sought after as familiars and servants.  At considerable personal risk Alice Tochylovska was able to capture this specimen.

Into the Shadows

Dr. Christian Lehmann is preparing for a trip to a very dark place.  Namely the 1942: The Shadow Army LARP.  I love prop display shots like this.

For the Horde!

This amazing orc warrior costume comes to us from Chris Vernel.  He's working on a Warcraft fan film, and based on his gallery the project isn't skimping on props and costumes.   Image courtesy of Lenwe Photo.

The Schattenjaeger Talisman

The talented Marika Schirmacher returns to our pages with this recreation of the Schattenjaeger Talisman from the Gabriel Knight video game series.

Mummified Faerie Specimen

TheOnlyWolf100 brings us this desiccated specimen of Fæta Gesælig Fraxinus. The leaf wings are a nice touch.

Cthulhu Pendant

This cool Cthulhu pendant, hand struck in copper, is the work of French artist Curionomicon. 

Tome of Gondor

This beautiful tome bearing the white tree of Gondor comes to us from the gifted Alex Libris.  Hand bound in tooled leather with custom brass hardware.

The Black Imp

Say what you will about the practitioners of the dark arts, but they really do have the best familiars.  Nightmerriment brings us this black imp, always ready with a whispered bit of knowledge and mischievous intent.

Cthulhu Necklace

This pewter-finish Cthulhu necklace comes to us from the talented Axel Torvenius.  I love this sculpt.

Cult of Cthulhu Priestess

The appropriately named KultCthulhu brings us this very well done Cthulhu cult priestess.

Deep One Brooch

No one really knows just how many artifacts were seized during the infamous raid on Innsmouth.  Nat Wiland brings us one such item, a Deep One brooch from the Arkham Natural History Museum collection. 

Gorgon Specimen Chest

Dayne Hodson returns to our pages with this fun little Gorgon Specimen Chest.  It includes a post-petrifaction fragment of the titular creature, a pair of trophy fangs, blood sample, and an amputated tongue. 

Mythos Down Under

Itters Russ brings us her character from the Call of Cthulhu event at this weekend's Pax Australia convention.  Photography courtesy of Steamkittens.

The Scarecrow

As Nick Derosa demonstrates, scarecrows aren't just for scaring off crows.  I love the textures on this.

Dragon Skeleton

This nicely done dragon skeleton comes to us from artist Rivalmit.  It does a great job of recreating the look of a real wire-articulated mount.

Master of Mandrakes

Italian artist Wizoor, the acknowledged Master of Mandrakes, brings us this potted mandrake.  One can only imagine what a home gardener has to go through when it needs to be re-potted.

Northman LARP Armor

Arthammer Workshop brings us this finely crafted set of Northman LARP armor. 

Skyrim Arsenal

The appropriately named Arsynal Props returns to our pages with this collection of daggers from Skyrim.
