Unaussprechlichen Kulten

April 18, 2017/ Tommy

For those that don't know, the Unaussprechlichen Kulten is a fictional book from Robert E. Howard's short stories, and was later referenced by H.P. Lovecraft, so you know it's got some dark mojo. It was built by Vitreolum as a companion piece to his Necronomicon. That's the beginning of a pretty bleak, but damn cool library.

Alien

August 25, 2016/ Tommy

Builder and dark artist mihaimariusmihu is back with another hauntingly beautiful MOC. This alien bust looks right out of the sketchbook of H.R. Giger, with disturbingly lovely biomechanical details and flowing forms. It doesn't look so as much build as it does carved, giving it an otherworldly but gorgeous aesthetic.
