It took me a long time to work out what to do with Simon's beautiful sculpt: there are just so many ways you could interpret it...

Dear Hobbyists,
The solstice is only hours away and with that the conclusion of this little endeavor. It is time to have a look at the entries that you can win.
How to that, check the page „PARTICIPATE“ right there————>
The first project that shall be shown here, is my own.
More after the jump!

the beginning is near
I have been approached by several people wishing to obtain a cast of the statue aswell. We have discussed this and have decided to make the casts available.
But you can not simply "buy" a cast. We don't want to generate money for ourselves with this project. If you want to have a cast you need to do the following:
1. Donate 20$ to one of the organizations we support with this event.
2. While you are donating anyway, why not add a bit for a raffle ticket aswell? For every additional 5$ you get a ticket for the raffle.
2. Send the confirmation of the donation (or a screenshot of it) until the 21.12.2021 with the topic "Cast" to solstice28@gmx.net
3. The shipping costs will depend on where you are located. Check www.dhl.com to get an idea what shipping costs (I am sending the casts from germany).
If you have any further questions, shoot us an email.

The veil is lifted
Dear Hobbyists!
Hydra here, and in the name of the #solstice28 artists, I would like to welcome you to this project. For quite some time the participants have teased you all with their posts on Instagram and now the time has come to finally show what this teasing is all about.
In spring 2021 Wilhelminiatures posted a sculpture of a Cthulhu Idol on Instagram. As I am a great fan of the Cthulhu Mythos, I instantly felt the call of the old one to give this task a try myself.
Cthulhu Idol by Wilhelminiatures |
Then, just like R‘lyeh itself, the drive to finish this project, vanished. And the unfinished sculpture along with the silicone mold slumbered in the depths of a box.
Then, in the spring of 2021, @ibrewtiny started the amazing Slugwizard Spring Competition Competition, the main focus of which was to model a slugwizard to generate money for the charity organisation Bail-Out Project . Combining the hobby and charity work is nothing new, but the slugwizards reminded me of how lucky I was to be in a place where all I had to complain about was model prices, releases, and “when was the last time I had a pot of super glue last longer than two hobby sessions?”.
At that point I had the strong urge to create a charity event myself.And that’s when I remembered my unfinished Cthulhu idol.
The next big step was to gather the courage to approach the artists with my idea. All of them have their very own and unique style and have been a massive inspiration to me over these past years. And I hoped we could find a way to work together to inspire others to donate while also creating some cool art.
And since nothing is fun without a deadline, how about taking the next big mystic date available? the 21.12.2021 is not also a great looking date, but it is also solstice, the longest night of the year. And I bet that there is more than one cult having dark prophecies about that night and clandestine agents of forgotten gods work towards sinster goals to wake their evil masters for their eon old sleep.
If you now want to have the cance of obtaining a faboulus piece of dark art AND want to do something good at the same time, follow this link PARTICIPATE
Speaking of cool art, here is a list of the artists that participate, so that you can get an idea of what we’re creating: ARTISTS
Until 21.12.2021 you can follow our progress on our Instagram accounts and once a piece is finished, it will also be displayed in the GALLERY
