Book: Gaster Tome 'E.O.S.'

Thoughts: This is intended as a practice work to see how various materials handle being involved as a book construction.

The surface cameo turned up rather lighter than intended, and is actually decently approximates a patina of age and grime, though my faux-techniques require plenty of refinement. The dark ink and paint in the eye sockets, gaping grin, and skull fractures actually contain a limited amount of bone dust, malachite, and lapis lazuli in it's content... The stone cuttings actually originate from the original stone of this: lucratanexarii.deviantart.com/…    And this: lucratanexarii.deviantart.com/…

The stones above are a three-way reference. One is to the bottom-most, enigmatic triangles of the Delta Rune, with the downward inner one made more substantial, while the darker left and lighter right are their own clear references. The lengthened central segment also brings the thought of the Sword of Damocles, though that is of lesser significance. Greater to it's meaning is the notion of monoliths and gates, Rubicons of passing, and remnants of older things.

Though not easily visible, the spine has calligraphic, stylized characters 'E.O.S.' a deliberately unclear reference, though initially intended as "End of Sequence."

The endpages, not shown, are from some old scrolls I had created some years ago, their enigmatic words written sinistral, and left to reflect on past and present.


Abyss, wordless, in a touch of force and voice of ages.
