Another Fantasy Feast

Wats6831 is back with more tabletop RPG inspired eats. This time around he treated his players to a speculative meal from the west coast of the Forgotten Realms. 

Waterdhavian oat loaf (handmade irish soda bread), fresh smoked ham shank, "dessert" pear, Corm Orp "mountain" bleu cheese served on butternut squash, imported Saerloon broccoflower (Romanesco), mixed garden vegetables (carrots and radishes), Misty Forest chestnuts.

The ham was amazing, as was the Irish soda bread. Cheese was disgusting moldy bleu cheese so much for fancy "cave aged" in the Caves of Faribault......smelled like something crawled in those caves and died on the cheese wheel this came from. Broccoflower thing was about how it sounded crisp and tasted like broccoli and cauliflower. Carrot is a carrot.

Crass Commercialism

I have some Miskatonic University swag up on Ebay.  That includes one of the black enamel MU keychains.

The Mask of Cthulhu

Artist Christophe Pizetta of Pizetta FX brings us this decaying Cthulhu..er.."DaOctopus" mask.  His gallery includes some in-progress shots of the project.

Cthulhu Fhtagn! Severa Edition.

This nicely done pair of Cthulhu idols come to us from artist Adam Severa.  The fact that it looks equally good in both finishes demonstrates the strength of the sculpt.

They Grow Up So Fast...

Artist Joe Dunaway brings us a trio of Audrey II's from the "Little Shop of Horrors".  There's some beautifully done detail work in each stage of development.

Orc Trail Ration

Wats6831 returns with his latest take on fantasy trail rations. This time around he serves up an orcish repast.

Orcs aren't known for their great cuisine. Orcs prefer foods that are readily available (whatever can be had by raiding), and portable with little preparation, though they have a few racial delicacies. Toughs strips of lean meat, bones scavenged from recent kills, and dark coarse bread make up the bulk of common orc rations.

Fire roasted rothe femur (marrow is a rare treat) [beef femur], Strips of dried meat (of unknown origin) [homemade goose jerky], foraged nuts, only edible by orcs....nut cracker tusks [brazil nuts], coarse black bread, made with whatever grains can be pillaged [black sesame bread], Pungent peppers [Habanero peppers stuffed with smoked fish and olives].

Brown Jenkin

Witnesses said it had long hair and the shape of a rat, but that its sharp-toothed, bearded face was evilly human while its paws were like tiny human hands. It took messages betwixt old Keziah and the devil, and was nursed on the witch’s blood—which it sucked like a vampire. Its voice was a kind of loathsome titter, and it could speak all languages.

-H.P. Lovecraft, The Dreams in the Witch House

Filmmaker Nick Hilligoss brings us this recreation of Brown Jenkin, one of Lovecraft's most disturbing creations.   The stop motion puppet is built up from latex over an aluminum armature.
