The Pustulant Grimoire

Professional bookbinder Mille Cuirs returns to our pages with his icky "Le Grimoire Pustulant".

 

The Year of the Snake

Yesterday was the lunar new year, officially ushering in the year of the snake.  Jason McKittrick has just the thing to mark the occasion, his talisman of Yig, Lord of Serpents.

Idol of Baphomet

Morok Art Studio returns to our pages with their Giger-inspired Baphomet statue.  It's a great sculpt, and the rust/gunmetal finish looks awesome.

 

 

Amulet of the Nerevar

For years, Valara Atran has been re-creating some of the most obscure props from the Elder Scrolls series.  Her latest is this amulet bearing the Moon and Star sigil of the Nerevar from Morrowind.

 

 

Carved Agate Cthulhu

Allie Evers was kind enough to send over this wonderful Cthulhu idol sculpted from a solid block of moss agate.  It was commissioned from Skullis.com, which normally specializes in carved crystal skulls.

 

 

Fallout Consumables

Ammnra Creations brings us this tutorial on creating a variety of consumable items from the Fallout video game series.  The best part is right at the start, where he demonstrates how to use drinking party IV bags to recreate RadAway, blood packs, and irradiated blood.  After that he crafts a stimpak, Jet inhaler, and fusion core.  Spoiler alert: that section basically consists of "I 3D printed the parts and put them together".

That's become an increasing common theme in propmaking.  Don't get me wrong, there's certainly nothing wrong with that approach.  The results are absolutely authentic since they're adapted from the actual game models.  That said, I'm a devotee of the ol' skool "bash found parts together" method of prop creation.  3D printing seems to remove the creativity from that process and turn it into an exercise in kit assembly.  Your mileage may vary, obviously.

 

Ritual Dagger

Spanish artist Creadores a sueldo brings us this creepy ritual dagger.  Made from foam and LARP-safe.
