Assassin's Creed 2 "hidden blade" WIP

[Ramiel]

Just as a side project (to use my hands not to work on the computer...), I'm working on and off on this thing, and I'm halfway doing the gun + poison stinger plate that goes over the blade itself...
This is what I got so far...

The mockup of the template, to layout the proportions

My "virtual wirst" (almost an arm acctually!) to sculpt over it...

The sculpting process done (super sculpey)

Baked...

Primed with black...

I have to buy some metallic paint and then I'll paint this thing and I'll model the remaining parts, then I'll try to tackle the entire gauntlet (the leatherwork will be a PITA I'm sure...:unsure)

Well, let me know what do you think!

 

[Risu]

***** ******! The level of detail in your sculpt is amazing!

 

[punisher]

Wow, thats amazing...as usual :lol
I really like the detail in the feathers looking parts as well!

 

[Frank]

:eekthat's amazing:love

 

[LeMarchand]

Holy....Ramiel, that is ONE HELL OF A PIECE my friend. I so need a copy of that

 

[Vlair]

Wow...Just....Wow....thats gorgeous

 

[Miracleman]

OMG... :eek

That is truly incredible work, ever thought of making the belt buckle?

 

[Ramiel]

Marc, let me find someone who could help me with the molding and casting process and I'll make copies! (So far I still have never cast a copy of my works... :confused How weird is that?!?):lol

And thank you all!
I know I still have a lot to do, and finding the time isn't easy, but apparently I can sculpt fairly quickly (and I should have a some sort of addiction for detailed props... Don't ask me why!:lol)

@ Miracleman: Yes I thought of making the buckle Actually I thought of doing the entire costume Ezio is wearing at the beginning of the game (Giovanni's assassin outfit that Ezio discovers in the chest in the hidden room) it is a great costume

Thank you all again!:$

OMG!!!!!!!!!! frakkkkkkkK!!

This is one of the parts I've still got in the planning phases (still working on a lot of the base armor bits and such between other work)

But call me a prood (or stubborn, or whathaveyou), and don't want anything on my costumes that I haven't done 100% on my own ... If I would have someone else aid me in my personal AC2 project (or commission someone else for parts) man, this would be it!

regardless, i think in this case, at minumum, I would want one from you to at least frame, just to have something for a collection from those whov'e always respected as an illustrator(though I'd really want it signed by you as well )

thanks for setting the bar!

 

[Ramiel]

Fev, That's a HUGE compliment from you!
I was following your works on Cosplay.com and your blog, and I still think that your AC2 belt buckle and leatherwork done on your pieces is the top!
So, thank you very much!:thumbsup

very awesome work, can't wait to see the whole gauntlet together. Thats certainly something I'd want for my collection

 

[robo3687]

i approve of this post....lol...

and would buy a cast if any were ever done

 

[BlindSquirrel]

Duuuuude! That is some stunning sculpting there! I can't wait to see it painted! Well done!

 

[TheZeis]

Holy crap, that is just beautiful!

 

[hollywoodhardware]

Wow, that sure is an impressive sculpt! Can't wait to see it with the metallics, because the black takes away all the amazing detail.

The detail on that thing is amazing.

[jt001]

My God!!! That looks fantastic!!!!!

Dude, you never cease to amaze me.

For metallic paints, if you have an airbrush, go with Alclad2 paints! http://www.alclad2.com/

Totally wasn't expecting what I just saw, I was quite shocked Ramiel.
Outstanding work.
