Altar of Cthulhu
This incredibly detailed "Cthulhu Gods Altar" comes to us from Greek artist George Tsougkouzidis. I'm iffy on the "skull with tentacles" take on Cthulhu, but the ornately detailed texture work is phenomenal.

Hail Cthulhu!
Jason McKittrick's latest Cthulhu idol is a beautiful piece. I believe it also makes him the most prolific Mythos artist in terms of Cthulhu idols. By my count this is his fifth take on the subject, following in the footsteps of his original sculpt and the Alhazred, Arkham, Chocolate, and Yuletide idols.

Cool, Clear Water
This nifty post-apocalyptic water dispenser comes to us from Nuclear Snail Studios. As the bar has been raised on LARP costumes and weapons I've noticed propmakers creating a lot more environmental props.

Dark Elf
This stunning dark elf costume comes to us from cosplayer Janjagi van Hunters. It took me a while to realize that the costume itself is surprisingly simple. It's the amazing makeup and judicious selection of coordinating jewelry that make it so effective. Photo by Tux Fotografie.

Dwemer Puzzle Cube
Valara Atran brings us her take on the Dwemer puzzle cube from Skyrim. Personally, I'm partial to the theory that this is what caused the disappearance of the Dwemer. Fiddle around with puzzle boxes long enough and you're sure to summon the Cenobites.

The Horror in Clay
This recreation of the infamous bas-relief from Lovecraft's "The Call of Cthulhu" comes to us from Russian artists From Beyond Dolls. I can't wait to see it cast up in resin.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Van Helsing Edition.
This be-tentacled Cthulhu sculpt comes to us from Van Helsing. One can only imagine the difficulties involved in fighting vampires that are also Cthulhu cultists.

Lighting Up Night City
I am fully on board the hype train for Cyberpunk 2077. I've been a huge fan of the tabletop game since the first edition in 1988. Back when the "world wide web" was a new thing I hand coded (!) one of the first fan pages for the game, "Morninman's Cyberpunk Archive". Some of my material from that ancient website would eventually end up getting published in the Chromebook series from R. Talsorian.
That personal history is one of the reasons this illuminated jacket from FUBAR props is so cool. It's a great recreation of the combat jacket from the video game's teaser trailer. Sweet fancy Moses, this makes me feel old. I remember when light emitting clothing was science fiction from the far future. Now it's a kit some guy put together in his home shop. Which, come to think of it, is pretty damn cyberpunk.

Idol of Cthulhu
This intriguing Cthulhu idol comes from the collection of the Museum of Cryptozoology and Occult Science. It's a subtle touch, but I really like the texture of the faux stone. It's the same kind of matte, micro pitted finish you find on carved alabaster figures from Egypt.
