Hail to the King

Jason McKittrick of the Cryptocurium continues his celebration of "The Doom That Came to July" with this nicely done statuette of the King in Yellow.  A limited number will be available in two different finishes starting tomorrow.

 

 

Hail to the King

Artist Yu Chung brings us this excellent King in Yellow statuette.  Check out his feed and you can see the entire process of it being digitally sculpted, sent out for 3D printing in resin, and the final paint job.   

 

Crafting the King in Yellow

Hail to the King, baby.

Over on YouTube, Greig Johnson has succumbed to the corrupting influence of the Yellow Sign.  Driven by forces unknown, he's crafted his very own King in Yellow from bits and bobs.  That includes everything from a miniature Marvel super-villain to repurposed jewelry and toy rats.  It's inspiring to see such a creative mind at work, and the resulting wall art is pretty cool.

Idol of Hastur

It's rare to come across a depiction of Hastur that doesn't embrace his King in Yellow form.  Turkish artist Ebrahel Lurci brings us his take on the Unspeakable One, complete with a nicely done presentation case.

 

 

Long Live the King

Hynoxolus brings us this wonderful King in Yellow costume from lost Carcosa on the shore of Lake Hali.  Every part of the whole, in particular the mask and crown, is perfectly crafted.

 

 

Hail to the King

Camilla: You, sir, should unmask.

Stranger: Indeed?

Cassilda: Indeed, it's time. We all have laid aside disguise but you.

Stranger: I wear no mask. 

Camilla: (Terrified, aside to Cassilda) No mask? No mask!

 - Robert W. Chambers, The King in Yellow

I have a deep and abiding fondness for those that dare to clothe themselves as the King in Yellow.  This take from KMK Designs is an absolute banger of a costume.  There's so much to like here.  The frayed and tattered robe, the embroidered glyphs, and that mask.  When you look at the closeup shot you realize the empty hood is actually a maw lined with dozens of human teeth. 

 

Hail to the King

Artist James Gardner brings us this wonderful theatrical poster for a production of "The King in Yellow".  Sadly, he doesn't appear to have it available for sale.

 

 

Hail to the King

There's so much to like about this amazing King In Yellow costume from Valerie Plouffe at Feral Workshop.  It features completely custom embroidery and a hand-applied ochre edge tinting that really brings out the details.  

 

Hail to the King

I love all the little details in this ancient mural of Hastur by Artist Jaehyeon Lee.

 

 

Hail to the King

Creadores A Sueldo returns to our pages with a tribute to the King in Yellow, featuring their new Pale Mask.

 

Hail to the King

This nicely done take on the King in Yellow comes to us from Golden Brush Studio.  It's been interesting to watch how depictions of the King have increasingly incorporated Horned God and Wendigo imagery over the last few years.  My gut feeling is it's the result of the first season of True Detective and a touch of Hannibal.

Idol of Hastur

The talented Morok Art Studio returns to our pages with this excellent Hastur idol.  Hail to the King!

Eldritch Grimoire

One of the biggest issues with creating a prop grimoire is the sheer amount of work it takes to do it right.  You not only have to create a the book itself, but all the artwork that fills the pages.  It's a daunting task, but one that Alexander Forbes Jolink was up to.  His eldritch grimoire is filled with fantastic artwork, including some excellent King in Yellow illustrations.  Click through the grimoire link to see a gallery of shots.

 

Hail to the Queen

Hastur manifests in many forms, as this Queen in Yellow costume from Photosaurus Fred demonstrates.

 

Have You Seen the Yellow Sign?

Jewelry artist Kelly Kotulak brings us this amulet bearing one of the numerous versions of Hastur's Yellow Sign.

 

Hail to the King

Curionomicon brings us this King in Yellow pendant, electroformed from copper.

Hail to the King

"Hounds & Jackals" bring us this cool King in Yellow robe and Pallid Mask.  I love the embroidery work.
