Designer Con pick up!
Been after one of these cracking looking guys for a while.
It’s a G3 by CN9Ki.

I have to wait to have it posted to me though as I wasn’t there in person.

Don't think I am going to paint mine red though. I know the on set version was red. But I like the idea of going greyscale, as it looks on screen in the show.

Watched two Halloween films. Both of which had a very similar sigil on or near a door.
The Crow and Night of the Demon.

A quick dig hasn't turned anything up as far as identifying them yet.

They may just be set dressing nonsense of course.

Anyone recognise either of them?

A still from the movie The Crow. Showing a girl going into a door in an abandoned building. There is a magical symbol painted on the wall next to the door. A still from the movie Night of the Demon. Showing a door with a magical symbol marked on it in chalk.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

This is how my work desk looks on a fairly typical day.
Working on new pieces for my upcoming online show.
No matter how large my work desk is, I always end up working in an area only a few inches across right down the front...!

He will be in my Online solo show in a couple of weeks.
