Celtic LARP Spear

Sander Propworx returns to our pages with another one of their amazing foam LARP weapons.  This time it's a full-sized Celtic-themed spear.

 

 

A Light Shining in Darkness

Fallout: New Vegas is the greatest video game of all time thanks, in no small part, to the incredible worldbuilding.  That includes the detailed backstory for Joshua Graham, a one-time monster seeking redemption for his evil deeds.  His character arc is deeply dependent on being Mormon.  That extends to his signature weapon "A Light Shining in Darkness".  

"l1b3rtypr1m3" brings us his recreation of the gun, a custom .45 M1911 featuring snakeskin grips and engraved with the biblical passage John 1:5 ("The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it") in Greek.

 

 

Little Devil

Spooky Jack returns to our pages with this creepy little horned fetal skull.

 

Waterdeep Receipt

Stormageadon's girlfriend tasked him with creating handouts for her Dungeons and Dragons campaign.

It’s difficult to figure out what exactly the visual style of a city like Waterdeep would be. I know fantasy tends to live in the 16th century or so, but I figure mass printing is already out and about so I based most of my work off of 19th century invoices. Please let me know if you think this fits the vibe of Waterdeep or how I can improve the next handouts. 

The longest part of the project was just getting fonts to look right. Next up is a few leaflets for some kind of opera and some posters for a sea maiden’s festival. 

It was about five hours of meticulous work on Photoshop, and then printing it in high fidelity on handmade paper. 

He's on-target with his design process.  Faerun, and Waterdeep in particular, has canonically had printing press technology since the setting was first published.   At the same time, you can still find professional scribes copying tomes by hand.  That's the legacy of a world shaped by the need to give gamemasters a place where they could set any kind of adventure.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the deckled edge.  That's the hallmark of hand-laid, uncut paper, an artisan product.  Good for correspondence, but not the best fit for a pre-printed receipt.  

 

 

Great Cthulhu

Incredible depiction of Cthulhu and his minions from artist Vague Sadan.  Click through to see a complete gallery of pictures highlighting the amazing level of detail.

 

 

Dagon

This WIP look at an intriguing idol of Dagon comes to us from artist Jason Pfeifer.

 

 

 

Mummified Fairy Specimens

Umbratheca returns to our pages with this collection of mummified fairy specimens.  I really like their sculpting on these.  Most of the mounted fairies for sale these days are repurposed novelty toy skeletons.  Nothing wrong with that, but they look like...repurposed novelty toy skeletons.

 

The Wendigo

We've featured Wendigo masks before, but the latest from Francesco Sanseverino is easily one of the creepiest.  There's just so much wrong here, from the antlers jutting out from the eye sockets to the exposed rictus.

 

 

Daedric Dagger

This excellent recreation of the daedric dagger from Skyrim comes to us from Metal Made Crafts.  3D printed in resin and then hand painted.

 

 

Tools of the Trade

I just love this kind of stuff.  Slooth849 brings us a collection of props from their tabletop Dungeons and Dragons game.  The only thing I'm not crazy about is the futuristic grenade, which apparently is used by an artificer character.  

 

Not So Lucky Leprechaun

Caleb Volek of Outcast Props returns to our pages with this preserved leprechaun head.  Just the thing for that special someone on St. Patrick's Day.

 

Skull of the Third Eye

Another impressive piece from sculptor Ebrahel Lurci.  The skull adorned with the third eye is available in a variety of finishes.

 

Cthulhu in Ivory

This faux ivory Cthulhu idol comes to us from the talented Alberto Camargo.

 

Fallout: New Vegas Rose of Sharon Cassidy Necklace

Chris of "l1b3rtypr1m3" is a huge fan of the Fallout franchise, in particular Fallout: New Vegas.  Over the years he's amassed what's probably the largest collection of props based on the games, many of them crafted by his own hand.  His latest piece is one of those wonderfully obscure video game items I love- the necklace worn by "Whiskey" Rose of Sharon Cassidy.
