my DARKSIDERS sword

[buckettt]

Just wanted to share some pics of my chaos-eater sword from the video game DARKSIDERS.....I had started this project along time ago---and finally got some time to finish it this weekend .

above: cut out template from 2 pieces of MDF

above: after shaping blade I used paper mache (clay-like) for detail work...I really like this stuff --its soft/light, easy to shape, sticks to anything...and air dries rock hard.

above: after paint and clearcoat !

Thanks for looking !

what clay did you use? looks great! was the clay expensive?

 

[buckettt]

I used "creative paperclay" (black packaging) found at michael's crafts....I have never done sculpting before...but I really liked this stuff....soft/easy to shape (like play-doh) ..can be wet sponged for shaping/smoothness...( sorry I dont know sculpting terminalogy ) and dries fast...

I beat the crap out of a test piece trying to pry it off the wood with a screwdriver and was happy with its strength....(being that this is just going to hang on a wall)

Holy crap. That's amazing!

 

[Tarchinoko]

hmm sounds and looks like a great material! maybe a cheaper alternative to apoxie sculpt how did you get that texture on the sculpted parts? it looks so amazing!

 

[buckettt]

I made the texture by poking hundreds of little of holes in the clay....the center was painted satin black, and then dry brushed with some aged bronze paint..

 

[Shatterpoint25]

Very nice! I really like the detail.

I want to try that instead of using apoxie sculpt.
