Sigil of the Three Lobed Burning Eye

This was originally done as a banner symbol for a friend's tabletop army, but it's equally useful as a sigil for padding out all sorts of mythos tomes and such.  Open it up in another tab for the full sized version.

Fetal Development

Inspired by "The Devil's Backbone", the artists at Sinister Rouge produced this creepy little preserved fetus prop.   It's a nice sculpt, but it's the translucence of the body that really makes it work.

Steampunk Spacesuit

I've been pretty open, if not strident, about my disdain for what I call "steamjunk". Sadly, far too many steampunk aficionados seem to think that gluing gears to something or epoxying a bunch of brass junk together is the height of the genre's artistic achievement. It's embarrassing how prevalent the mentality has become.

Then I stumble across something like this steampunk spacesuit and my cold, bitter heart warms up to the possibilities of retro-futurism once again. The picture was taken at the Gaslight Gathering 3. I haven't been able to track down the artist yet, but as soon as I do it will be my pleasure to give proper credit for a job very well done.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Today I saw the first Halloween product displays of the year. Say what you will about "Christmas Creep", but I'm totally cool with early August being the start of the Halloween season.

The Honeybee Mk 1

Strangeness & Charm brings us the Honeybee Mk 1, a leather and brass steampunk mask.
