What a time to be alive.
It was partly human, beyond a doubt, with very man-like hands and head, and the goatish, chinless face had the stamp of the Whateleys upon it.

This incredible sculpt of Wilbur Whately from Lovecraft's "The Dunwich Horror" comes to us from professional motion picture makeup artist and designer Joel Harlow. I'd love to see this maquette translated into a CGI creature.
MonsterLabs Studios is back with this excellent recreation of a traditional tsanta, or shrunken head. What really sells this is the pore work on the skin.
"Then down the wide lane betwixt the two columns a lone figure strode; a tall, slim figure with the young face of an antique Pharaoh, gay with prismatic robes and crowned with a golden pshent that glowed with inherent light.

This is a first. Dolan Carag returns to our pages with this WIP Cthulhu mask crafted from real bone and horn.
This massive hydrocephalic skull specimen comes to us from professional artist Tom Kuebler. You really need to open the full sized pictures in another tab to appreciate the level of detail. The second picture in particular gives you a great look at a small, but telling part of the sculpt- the deformation of the skull sutures created by the massive cranial vault.
