Elder Thing Star Stone

"Have found peculiar soapstone fragment about six inches across and an inch and a half thick, wholly unlike any visible local formation. Greenish, but no evidences to place its period. Has curious smoothness and regularity. Shaped like five-pointed star with tips broken off, and signs of other cleavage at inward angles and in centre of surface. Small, smooth depression in centre of unbroken surface. Arouses much curiosity as to source and weathering. Probably some freak of water action. Carroll, with magnifier, thinks he can make out additional markings of geologic significance. Groups of tiny dots in regular patterns. Dogs growing uneasy as we work, and seem to hate this soapstone."

 - H. P. Lovecraft, "At the Mountains of Madness"

 The talented Joe Broers returns to our pages with this excellent take on an Elder Thing star stone.

Living Reliquary

I'm not sure if this is really cool, or incredibly creepy.  Ugo Serrano returns to our pages with this custom made reliquary.  What makes it unusual is that the bone fragment was surgically removed from someone that's still alive.

Mummified Fairy

I really like the sculpting on this mummified fairy specimen from Crawly Curios.  A lot of these are just dollar store skeletons with a skin coat of paper mache or latex.  There's nothing wrong with that, but actually taking the time to model anatomical details like ears, eyelids, and lips is so much more convincing.

The Great Old One

This Cthulhu bust from Grant Cross is a good demonstration of translating a digital sculpt into a high quality 3D print.  There's a huge price differential between resin and filament printers, but the results speak for themselves.

The Great Grimoire

Stick N Rope returns to our pages with another wonderfully weathered grimoire.  The pictures really don't convey just how big this book is- a sprawling 16.5 by 18 inches.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Marquez Edition.

Over the least few years Alberto Camargo Marquez has been creating some really interesting variations on the traditional Cthulhu idol.  His latest effort continues that trend with a multi-limbed Cthulhu on a pillar-style base.
