Mask of Cthulhu

This well done Cthulhu mask comes to us from Russian artist Anton Avdeev.  Just the thing for those monthly cultist meetups.

Mummified

I know Nick Derosa didn't dig up a corpse, but the level of detail on this mummified body did make the thought cross my mind.  

The Horned Mask

Francesco Sanseverino returns to our pages with this creepy horned skull mask.  And by "creepy" I mean "awesome".

Lieutenant Vogel

This beautiful shot of Imperial Lieutenant Klaus Vogel comes to us from photographer OrangeRoom.  He was a character in the Russian "Warhammer: Black Fire Pass" LARP game.

Bloody Blades

It's hard to believe these Blood Obsidian Katanas from Dragon Armory are made from LARP safe foam. 

Great Cthulhu

The talented SueZ QQ returns to our pages with this nicely done Cthulhu bust.  Click through for a full gallery and details on how to order a resin casting.

Tools of the Trade

Epic Armoury brings us this nifty wizard's wand and spellbook.

Pentagram Grimoire

This wonderful hand bound leather grimoire comes to us from El Artesano del Rey.

Blade of the Hunter

This incredible hand forged Dwarven Hunter knife comes to us from Romanian artist Csizmar Szilard.

Ashes to Ashes

I'm appalled that Burned Raven Tales would make this vial of vampire ashes available to the general public.  One drop of blood, just one, and you have a full blown outbreak of vampirism on your hands. 

Mother Hydra

Jason McKittrick's latest piece is this beautiful idol of Mother Hydra. 

The Great Grimoire

Alex Libris brings us this massive magical tome, yet another example of his amazing craftsmanship.

Cthulhu Cultist Assassin Daggers

It's always nice to see new work from Joe Broers.  His latest is a trio of Cthulhu cultist assassin daggers, complete with embossed sheaths and faux woodblock print.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Marin Edition.

The talented Victor Marin returns to our pages with this excellent shot of his primitive-style Cthulhu idol.

Dwarven Shield

PropCorn returns to our pages with this well done dwarven shield, crafted from LARP safe foam.

I Did Nazi This Coming...

Over ten years ago I posted a video to YouTube entitled "Nazi Reanimation Propaganda Film".  It was a recut of the faux propaganda film from the 2008 movie "Outpost", one of the better entries in the Nazi Zombie sub-genre of walking dead pictures.  This is what you'll see if you go to see that video today:

Here's the email I received explaining why:

Sincerely,
The YouTube Team

The only rationale I can think of is that the video shows a Nazi flag and troops in SS uniforms.  I understand that those are troubling images, but that's all they are.  Images.  I can authoritatively state that reanimated Nazi soldiers from WW II are not about to rise up and establish the Eternal Fourth Reich.  On the other hand, I would pay good money to see a big-budget miniseries based on that exact premise.

From the Mountains of Madness

Jennifer brings us this look at the excellent Elder Thing artifact from artist Nat Wiland.

The Miskatonic Papers

What really happened to the Miskatonic University Tunguska expedition?  We'll find out when Todd Thyberg releases "The Miskatonic Papers".  He's been posting a steady stream of prop documents and artifacts from the project.  I'm looking forward to the final product.

Necro Skull

Sweet Jebus, this Necro Skull would make an amazing game artifact.  Derek Rosengrant is the artist responsible for the beautiful patinated brass finish, while the talented Dom Qwek sculpted the original piece.
