Creator/JasonStieva, a tattoo artist, created a series of Gothic-themed {{sculptures}} with a prominent skeleton motif in 2014. They were crafted by assembling metal scraps, plastic miniatures, an assortment of knick-knacks, and carved wood, the color homogenized with a layer of beige paint.

The set also includes commission repetitive pieces such as skull chalices, gothic skull frames, skull sconces, and the "[=Triple6=]" skulls.

Pictures of the set--both finished and in various states of assemblage--can be found in Stieva's [[https://www.instagram.com/shallowgravestudios/ Shallow Grave Studios]] Instagram account.

* DemBones: The main visual {{motif}} is bones of all the sculptures, particularly, skulls. In "Shipping Leviathan -- Ark of Apocalypse", part of the ship's crew (as well as the scaffold) is made of human skeleton beings.

* FanArt: "Preacherman and the Union of Funk" is a big ''Franchise/StarWars'' fan sculpture made of plastic figures of several characters (including Yoda, Jabba, and C-3PO) on a carved framework.

* {{Gashadokuro}}: The figurehead of "Shipping Leviathan -- Ark of Apocalypse" is decorated with a pair of skeletons much larger than members of the SkeletonCrew. Given this sculpture's name, it's not a stretch to assume that these sailors (some of them belonging to historical armies) die from famine.

* GothicPunk: "Shipping Leviathan -- Ark of Apocalypse" was designed with Stieva's admiration for classic Gothic design with SteamPunk gears at the bottom that are implied to propel it (considering the ship is too big to row by hand and there are no sails).

The most well-known is "Leviathan", currently within the possession of a collector. It took 14 months to craft, weighs a whopping 200 pounds, measures 7 meters in length, 2.5 meters in width, and stands at a titanic 8 feet tall.

* DemBones: The main visual {{motif}} is bones, particularly, skulls. In "Leviathan", part of the ship's crew (as well as the scaffold) is made of human skeleton beings.
* FlyingDutchman: "Shipping Leviathan" is a giant decrepit monstrosity built from the ground up with a SkeletonMotif and manned by monsters.

* GothicPunk: "Leviathan" was designed with Stieva's admiration for classic Gothic design with SteamPunk gears at the bottom that are implied to propel it (considering the ship is too big to row by hand and there are no sails).

* SkeletonCrew: "Leviathan" is manned by a densely populated crew crowding every nook and cranny, varying from [[DemBones actual skeletons]] to AmbiguouslyHuman crew-mates in uniforms from different eras. Given the decrepit nature of the ship, this trope was the idea.
