Cthulhu Fhtagn! Visentini Edition.

 Italian artist Elisabetta Visentini brings us her take on the traditional Cthulhu idol.  

 

Mummified Head

 The talented Ugo Serrano returns to our pages with this nicely done mummified head.

 

The Necromancer

This wonderfully multi-layered necromancer costume is the work of Johannes Kaufmann.  Photography by Josef Kristof.

 

Great Cthulhu

This nicely done Cthulhu figure comes to us from artist Evan Tortorelli.  I really like the anatomical details on the head, in particular his take on the multiple eyes.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Sentinel Creatives Edition.

This nicely done Cthulhu idol comes to us from Sentinel Creatives.  It's one of the premiums in their current Kickstarter project.

 

The Spiralling Wand

 McCormick Wands returns to our pages with this beautiful spiralling wand. 

 

Byakhee

I'm a big advocate of journaling tabletop role-playing games.  An in-character narrative mixed with ephemera and documents is a great way to keep track of story details and create a truly memorable record of the character's adventures.  Delinyer Diek demonstrates just how cool that can be with this in-character illustration of a Byakhee.

 

The Thing in the Corner

How would you like to wake up to this grotesque creature growing on the ceiling of your room?  It comes to us from Russian artist Alexie Andreev.

 

Idol of Zara-Hem

In the Hellboy mythos the dark god Zara-Hem is one of the 369 spawn of the Ogdru Jahad.  Dale Bigford returns to our pages with this recreation of the idol worshipped by cultists in multiple runs of the comic.

 

Bask in the Light of the Great Old One

Japanese artist Akihito brings us this impressive Cthulhu lamp.  The quality of the sculpt is impeccable, and it's all the more impressive when backlit. 

 

Fear the Three Eyed Goat!

The three-eyed goat is a common incarnation of Baphomet.  Depending on your point of view, he's either a figure of occult wisdom or demonic influence.  As Patrick Magee demonstrates, that doesn't mean he can't also be amazingly cute.

 

The Favor of Mother Hydra

Jason McKittrick returns to our pages with this cool Innsmouth whaler pendant, a faux scrimshaw depiction of Mother Hydra.  Back when I lived in New Bedford, MA one of my favorite places to visit was the whaling museum.  This would be right at home in one of the artifact displays.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Keisuke Edition.

This beautiful Cthulhu idol comes to us from Japanese artist Yoneyama Keisuke.  Open up the image in a new tab and zoom in to get a real appreciation for the sheer level of detail.

 

The Necronomicon

 Colin Christian returns to our pages after a too long absence with this amazing Necronomicon.

 

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Seb Edition.

This nicely done Cthulhu idol comes to us from Seb of Seb's Customs.  Click through to see a full gallery showing the sculpt from multiple angles.

 

 

The Greatest Cthulhu

I believe we have a new title-holder for "Worlds Largest Cthulhu".  This massive sculpt from scenic artist Tamara Lujan easily beats the previous champion, the wall sculpture at the much missed Storm Crow Tavern in Vancouver.

 

 

Star Stone of Minar

I examined the thing in my hand. It was of course a star-stone, featureless, gray-green; the thing might easily have been a small, fossil starfish. Crow, too, gave his stone a thoughtful examination, then said: “So these are the star-stones of ancient Mnar.”

 “Yes,” Peaslee agreed. “Except you couldn’t call these stones exactly ancient. They are samples from Miskatonic’s kilns—but for all that, they’re just as powerful as the real things.”

I love when someone takes a shot at the more obscure props of the Mythos.  This recreation of the Star Stones from Brian Lumley's Titus Crow stories is from artist Uriel Bant.

 

Darkstar Armor

This is just amazing.  The artisans at Arm Street bring us their all steel (!) "Darkstar" LARP armor.

 

Vessel of Cthulhu

This clay vessel featuring Cthulhu comes to us from Morok Art Studio.  Pair it up with the sacrificial knife and you're all set for summoning the Old Ones.

 

 

 

Elder Sign Signet

 Talhalem brings us this beautiful polished silver signet ring bearing the Elder Sign.

 

The Monkey's Paw

"The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs was written in 1902 and is still one of the most effective horror stories ever set to paper.  John Pinkerton of the Monster Sandbox brings us the tale's titular artifact.  Remember, be careful what you wish for.

 

Altar of the Necronomicon

The talented George Tsougkouzidis returns to our pages with his latest piece, the Necronomicon Altar.  As always, his texture work is mind-boggling.
