Headhunter's Trophy

Sculptor Mark Newman brings us this excellent shrunken head prop.  Amazing work on the skin texture, and the painted base really kicks it up a notch. 

 

 

Hail to the King

What happens when a progressive rock group embraces the King in Yellow?  Shadoko42 on Reddit brings us the answer with this selection of custom props for his Call of Cthulhu campaign.

As a long-time rock DJ I absolutely love this stuff.  There's a huge overlap between the history of rock and roll and the occult that can serve as very fertile ground for the Mythos.  Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin has made no secret of his fascination with Alistair Crowley.  That includes his purchase of Boleskin House, one of The Beast's former residences.  David Bowie was a serious believer in magic in addition to his fondness for science fiction, making him a particularly appropriate inspiration.

 

 

Unearthed

An amazing look at the artifacts uncovered by a team from Miskatonic University during a middle-east expedition in the 1930s.  Brought to us from Andrea Bonazzi's personal collection of Miskatonic ephemera.

 

 

Thrannox the Blue

Lion heads?  A stuffed bear?  Pshaw!  Real hunters have a dragon mounted on their wall.  The gifted Winton Afric brings us the head of Thrannox the Blue, the latest in his series of dragon specimens.

 

 

A World of Wands

McCormick Wands returns to our pages with a new selection of wands, this time in a slender, black and red style.  One of the things I love about wand collecting is the sheer variety of versions available.

 

 

Ancient Ritual Mask

This Lovecraft-inspired ancient ritual mask comes to us from artist Aleksandr Sivkov.  I really like how he's taken the basic form of tribal ancestor and spirit masks and given it a Giger-ish spin.

 

 

The Face of the King

Jason Soles of "Gods Below" has been producing Mythos artwork for years.  That includes the awesome cover for the D20 version of "Call of Cthulhu".  His latest is "The Face of the King" mask in cast bronze.
