So with con season pretty much over for me and all my new costumes for the year are done, I decided to work on other side projects that aren't costumes while working on various commissions (to keep me entertained, because working on only one thing at a time is boring)
I actually got this idea back when I moved into my old place few months ago, but am now finally deciding to do it.
I'm making the legendary symbol, but as a huge mantle to hang on my walls.
If there's enough interest for purchase, I might sell some afterwards, but until then, my beginnings of my mantle!
Printed out references (the skull one is for reference for the top of the shield, not like you'll technically see it under the elite's skull... But it makes me happy knowing I did it right) and scaled everything out. Top to bottom, each shield half is 26 inches.
Two halves cut out (minus the curvy bits, I'll do that with a dremel later when it's less wet outside, or I'm not lazy.) and scaled the swords. The sword with the markings is accurate and the one I'll be using, the other I quickly and roughly cut out just so I can see what it'll look like with two.
Sketch of the skull and place on there so I can see
And spent the last two days sculpting the main part of the skull. The eye are pretty even fyi, it's just the lighting. Next is to add some texture to make it realisticy as well as carve out the bullet hole in it's head. Maybe will fix up it's mouth part a little more.
Actually looking at the bulge of the skull.. I actually see something wrong with the shape... I'll fix that too.
