8 Glass Jars

The first shots on an idea that got stuck in my head this morning. Inspired by Charles Dexter Ward's "Essentiale Saltes", I've been wanting to find a use for 8 glass vials I've had kicking around for eons. As I worked on the Bonewrack demon this morning, this little story crept in. The quick WIP shot first ampule is the Weeping Hag, a blind elder witch.

After a bit more detailing with sculpey, I'll switch to epoxy for seals & bindings and other decoration. This picture, for those with interest, is after the first bake using the ink/pigment-coloured sculpey. It's the first bake test of the idea being tested on Bonewrack. I'm slowly starting to get the odd 'aged' patina I've been trying for with this.

One small update for now- the simple & slightly stylized flames blocked in.

The Whisperer in Darkness

The Whisperer in Darkness is now in editing! I loved the silent film version of Call of Cthulhu, and the first 'talky' filmed in beautiful Mythoscope is looking good.

Artist Inspirations

While I generally have an insatiable appetite for all things Lovecraftian, artist Andrea Bonazzi serves a more than ample feast of mythos related talents here. I'm sure I've seen some pieces in the past, but had never found this site until now.

Clever montages like that above, well-wrought tablets & sculptures, and pipes that would tempt even a non-smoker to a bowl and brandy by the fire... All inspirational to any HPL fan!
