The Bloodborne characters in the Spoiler are phenomenal. Is that a self-painted Cara-head? Great work (as always)!!!
   

Yeah you guess it right, I dismantled the Inn room to use the walls for the hallway. (I have another diorama Wall part in the making, that will appear later on) 
And also correct on the cara head, self painted and rooted.

Thank you very much Diana!

Personally, I'd skip the pop culture movie jokes, the severed head in the box was surprisingly disturbing in a positive way, but the moment was weakened by the joke. A bit like those Marvel movies that can't maintain tension for too long and crack a joke
in dire situations to release it, sacrificing a chance for good drama for a cheap laugh. But that might just be me, taking toy puppet photo stories too seriously.

I think you are correct, the pop culture thing doesn't really fit the horror mood I'm going for - even though I had some fun things in mind just by thinking abour the story and the possible connections, but in the photographed scenes they come over as super out of place. I think you are right and I will skip them in the future.

Yeah all these old men in the inn, what is going on

Thank you Mark, glad you like it. 

Love this! Your dios are always so wonderfully atmospheric!

Gorgeous follow up. Your architectural and diorama achievements are usually impressive enough by themselves, but the excellent photography and all the detailed work on the characters makes it twice as amazing. The tiefling and the severed head are remarkably well done, as is that vampirical? makeover of Cara. The whole spoiler image is just superb. I'm with Ovy -- don't mix in modern popular culture references.

Those are great! the dark elf head in the chest was a nice touch! Will we se more of their adventure?

I get so excited to see an update to this storyline! And as always, very entertaining and visually pleasing to look at!
