@SketchesbyBoze When I was a kid my favorite movies were all 10 or 20 years old. Sure, I liked new stuff too, but lots of movies are timeless. I imagine there’s some value in familiarity. Kids who’ve never seen old movies aren’t going to have enough exposure to them to love them.

Not going to boost this account but this is a terrible way to approach life. This attitude is the reason kids are growing up never hearing of Robin Hood or King Arthur. They have been deprived of their inheritance. Resist the tyranny of the present moment.

@alxbates @Mrzarono I have that. It's a great piece. Very crisp. The image doesn't show how big it is though. You need to put a big old dude next to it to get a showcase of that size.

And last but not least - the centerpiece of the Ophidian Menace set: Vriss’thra, the Progenitor of All Serpentkind. Hand-sculpted by David Cauley, based on concept art by @Mrzarono , display model painted by Chris Walker. Hand-cast in resin here in the USA!

@Roland_THTG I will have the individual figures in my online store before the end of the month; the box set for everything all together within the next 6-8 weeks. Getting custom boxes printed is a whole thing in itself.

The last two members of the Ophidian Menace set - Zassek, the Fang of Ael-Karna (the guy with the legs), and, Xuss-Duhl the Primeval. Sculpted by David Soderquist and Matt Gubser, cast in metal. Both display models were painted by Chris Walker.

Two more servants of the Ophidian Menace - Xa-Hsthuul, a mis-born Arcanist, the twisted offspring of serpent and human, born with innate sorcerous abilities, & the Regurgitated, a prisoner swallowed, transformed, & vomited back out of the serpent’s belly, enslaved to her whims.

I am a middling artist at best, but at Gary Con I was asked to donate an illustration to a book that’s being printed to help with Ernie Gygax’s medical bills - proceeds will all go to his widow. Ernie was very kind to me, so I was happy to draw this axe for the book.

There are many gods in Bal-Sagoth but the greatest of all is Gol-goroth who sits forever in the temple of shadows. Robert E. Howard, The Gods of Bal Sagoth

I haven’t yet settled on names for these figures, but, since I’ve added Barbaric Splendor’s Ophidian Menace set to my range, here’s the first two: A Neanderthal servant-warrior, &, an Idol to the serpent as a fertility god. Both sculpted by David Cauley painted by Chris Walker.

When I offered Fables to DC Comics, I wanted to do the logo. I’d just began playing with a few ideas when DC shut me down emphatically. “Logos are done by PROFESSIONAL graphic designers,” says they. “You aren’t qualified.” They were so very corporate, with many policies.

Seeking some clue in Von Junzt's volume, I read again of the Temple of the Toad, of the strange pre-Indian people who worshipped there, and of the huge, tittering, tentacled, hoofed monstrosity that they worshipped. Robert E. Howard, The Thing on the Roof
