The Perfect Ending

These book-ends by Bart De Dobbelaer would make the perfect ends for any sci-fi book collection. In fact, Bart has me thinking that book-ends might be a fun new format to try building.

Bart has done his usual great jobs on these. The technical bits on the bottom have just the right amount of details to look interesting and clean at the same time. The contrast with the brightly colored organic tentacle shapes adds motion as visual interest for a scene that keeps me looking.

Bookends - Do not wake the Old One

Autumn in the Park

My favorite quote from H.P. Lovecraft inspired this surrealist work. The quote goes like this: “the blind cosmos grinds aimlessly on from nothing to something and from something back to nothing again, neither heeding nor knowing the wishes or existence of the minds that flicker for a second now and then in the darkness.”

You can buy this creation from Creations for Charity, and there’s only 5 days left before the store closes for this year!

Cthulhu Rises

Imagine Rigney says that he’s always wanted to build a LEGO Cthulhu — H.P. Lovecraft’s iconic god-monster. I think Imagine has captured Cthulhu’s tender visage especially well.

LEGO Cthulhu diorama

The BURPs don’t do much for me, but the Old One more than makes up for a lack of detail in the landscaping.

Mark conjures monsters from the beyond

I’m glad to see an addition to Mark Stafford‘s Cthulego series, which as implied by the name is a mix of Lovecraft and LEGO. This scene depicts some agents trying to reclaim a stolen artifact and is thwarted by demons from the beyond. So Mark, what the hell are those pink fairy things?

Paul Lee’s Cthulhu Terrain – Pumpkin Transport, aka CT-PT

Paul Lee steps into the Reasonably Clever Spooky Star Wars contest with this orange beast — the Cthulhu Terrain – Pumpkin Transport:

From concept through execution, Paul’s walker has “Winner” written all over it.

The Burrower Brickneath!

From Mark Stafford, a man who hardly needs an introduction. Click the image for more pictures, with descriptions, on MOCpages. Via, oh, pretty much everywhere.
