Dragonbone Sword

The next Elder Scrolls game is still years away, but we still have Skyrim.  Metalmade Crafts returns to our pages with this excellent recreation of the Dragonbone sword.

 

 

The Head of Mimir

"Me? I'm the greatest ambassador to the Gods, the Giants, and all the creatures of the Nine Realms. I know every corner of these lands, every language spoken, every war waged, every deal struck. They call me… Mimir! --smartest man alive, and I have the answer to your every question."

Parts N Crafts brings us one of the coolest video game props I've seen in a while- the head of Mimir, god of wisdom, from the latter-day God of War games.

 

 

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Dossier

Nuke Bear Craft is a huge fan of the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. post-apocalyptic game franchise.  He's not only recreated a slew of props from the game, but taken part in multiple airsoft sims set in the same universe.  That was the reason for this awesome dossier, complete with photographs, intelligence reports, and medical readouts. 

 

Honningbrew Mead Bottle

Fifteen years after The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim was released the community is still making amazing props.  Hero Wares and Supplies brings us this Honningbrew Mead bottle, inspired by one of the best side quests in the game. 

 

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle Paper Props

Over on Reddit, SkipperShinema has posted a great selection of paper props from the Indiana Jones and the Great Circle video game.  You can tell how much the developers loved Indy by the sheer amount of faux ephemera they created for the project.

 

 

Soulframe Props

Artist Andrei Pék brings us his growing collection of Soulframe props, including a Witan dagger, Wevetseed, Dracs and Regatta board.

 

 

Keening

This almost perfect recreation of Keening, the magical dagger/tonal tool from Skyrim, comes to us from Yugi-Wow.

 

 

Alduin's Wall

This 22" recreation of Alduin's Wall from Skyrim comes to us from Silverrend Props.  It looks like it will work out to one inch for every year between the release of Skyrim and the next Elder Scrolls game.  <rimshot> 

 

Dashing Through the Snow

 Metal Made Crafts brings us this nicely done set of Daedric armor from Skyrim. 

 

STALKER Props

Excellent Sheckles brings us a collection of props from the STALKER video game series.  It includes the gauss rifle, veles anomaly detector, and the "bear" detector.  Some excellent craftsmanship on display.

 

 

The Sleeper

This impressive collection of props from the Morrowind video game comes to us from Silverrend Props.  It includes the game's skooma pipe, ash statue, and a variety of artifacts from House Telvanni.  They'll all be appearing in a "The Sleeper" a Morrowind fan film.  Click through for an extensive gallery of the collection.

 

 

Helm of Eredin

Artist Olyksandr Hyrtsai brings us the Helm of Eredin, leader of the Wild Hunt in the Witcher III video game.  Click through for a full gallery on Reddit.  In the comments you'll find a link to a video documenting the helm's creation, from the lamination of the oak planks through the painstaking process of shaping the final sculpt with power tools.

 

 

Skooma Pipe

"The finest skooma, the sweetest moon sugar. At a fair price, of course." 

Silverrend Props brings us one of the more obscure items from the Elder Scrolls series- the skooma pipe.  It only appears in Morrowind.  Since that game the lore has redefined skooma as a drink or, particularly for Khajit, a food additive. 

 

The Tools of Kagrenac

This is one of those wonderfully niche, over the top projects I absolutely adore.  Ethereum Props brings us their complete collection of the Tools of Kagrenac from the Elder Scrolls games.  If you're not familiar with the lore, The Unofficial Elder Scrolls wiki has a great rundown of each artifact in the set.  It's absolutely wild stuff. 

Kagrenac's Tools are the legendary artifacts crafted by the Dwemer Tonal Architect Lord Kagrenac. Each tool served a specific purpose to siphon the power of the Heart of Lorkhan, via tonal manipulation of the laws of nature.

Wraithguard: The gauntlet Wraithguard was created to safely wield the weapon tools, Sunder and Keening. Wielding the weapons without the gauntlet will often lead to the instant death of the wielder. Wraithguard also functions to empower the abilities of Keening and Sunder. Accounts of its appearance vary, but it typically looks like a gauntlet made of a material comparable to brass.

Keening: The short blade Keening (also referred to as the Ethos Knife) was created to flay and focus the power that the hammer Sunder produced. In song, it is described as a dagger made of the sound of the shadow of the moons.

Sunder: Sunder was created to produce a specific amount of power from the Heart. When struck by Sunder, the Heart would release godlike power. It is described as a hammer of divine mass.

 

 

 

Oblivion Pendant

Valara Atran returns to our pages with another Elder Scrolls inspired prop.  This time it's an Oblivion Gate Pendant, complete with a spinning sigil stone mounted in the center.

 

 

House Telvanni Amulet

"The wizard-lords of House Telvanni have traditionally isolated themselves, pursuing wisdom and mastery in solitude. But certain ambitious wizard-lords, their retainers, and clients have entered wholeheartedly into the competition to control and exploit Vvardenfell's land and resources, building towers and bases all along the eastern coast. According to Telvanni principles, the powerful define the standards of virtue..."

— Great Houses of Morrowind

This amulet of House Telvanni from the Elder Scrolls videogame series comes to us from Silverrend Props.

 

 

The Gates of Oblivion

Silverrend Props brings us this tableaux of props from the newly remastered The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.  That includes a wanted poster for the infamous Gray Fox, advertisement for the Imperial City's arena, Septim coin, and some very cool reproductions of the Varla and Welkynd stones.

 

 

A Light Shining in Darkness

Fallout: New Vegas is the greatest video game of all time thanks, in no small part, to the incredible worldbuilding.  That includes the detailed backstory for Joshua Graham, a one-time monster seeking redemption for his evil deeds.  His character arc is deeply dependent on being Mormon.  That extends to his signature weapon "A Light Shining in Darkness".  

"l1b3rtypr1m3" brings us his recreation of the gun, a custom .45 M1911 featuring snakeskin grips and engraved with the biblical passage John 1:5 ("The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it") in Greek.

 

 

Daedric Dagger

This excellent recreation of the daedric dagger from Skyrim comes to us from Metal Made Crafts.  3D printed in resin and then hand painted.

 

 

Fallout: New Vegas Rose of Sharon Cassidy Necklace

Chris of "l1b3rtypr1m3" is a huge fan of the Fallout franchise, in particular Fallout: New Vegas.  Over the years he's amassed what's probably the largest collection of props based on the games, many of them crafted by his own hand.  His latest piece is one of those wonderfully obscure video game items I love- the necklace worn by "Whiskey" Rose of Sharon Cassidy.
