I could deal with the first, but the next two, brrr! I lost some SAN right there. Still trying to decide which one is creepier; undead skeleton with candy, or mutated blue man in a tutu.

The Bone Sorcerer as he will appear in the game session I am running after work this evening. Decided to upgrade his armor with a partial salvaged space suit and a Shub-Spawn bound to his club in the spirit of the Elric stories. (With demon bound weapons.)

Inspiration for the space suit helmet/tube comes from "Strange Ascension" by Dubisch on DeviantART.

Been looking for minis that would work for Carcosa, and I found this stuff:
www.onelldesign.com/store/
callgrim.com/shop/
spymonkeycreations.ecrater.com/
banimon.com/shop-html/
www.481universe.com/?page_id=77

I would start a game up in my town just so I could put these things together for each character.

Here are a few more photos. The first three aren't related to Carcosa, but the next ones are views of the Unanswerable Obliteration (ruler of the Green Man village in Hex 0904) and a couple of drawings I made and fixed with Paint. I realize my drawings aren't pretty, but I think they can give my players a feel of the setting, and beauty is usually alien to Carcosa anyway.

That soundtrack would indeed fit Carcosa. Not sure I'd use it during live play, however, as my players may find the sounds distracting. Then again, they said they want to see why I find Carcosa different, so I may use it in conjunction with the pictures posted here and in other places.
