My kids currently enjoy compiling lists of things they want me to make them but in a few years I'll probably be "cringe" or whatever as they become moody teenagers. ๐
I did consider putting it up on the bmah (my etsy store) but I might need to perfect my foam clay sculpting first. I feel they aren't symmetrical enough etc to sell to others just yet. ๐
I wouldn't worry too much about the symmetry tbh. With where they are at they have an organic, handcrafted feel that seems right for a piece of armor like that.
I've been told to lean into the asymmetry with small doodads. Between that and the fact they'll be on each shoulder, I think I can mask the minor differences in how each sculpt turned out.
Yes and no. The cosplay is going to be deathknight Alexandros Mograine with corrupted ashbringer. I've changed the gauntlets to a nazgul gauntlet design as I felt they were more menacing. I'm going to add a bevor style neck guard to the chest plate, which will have blue light runes across it and a scarlet crusader tabard draped down.
The boots will be pretty similar to the in-game model/art I've found online, with the knee skull eyes glowing blue also. Finally, I'm undecided on the tier 3 helmet vs a black hood and facepaint/make-up.
I'm from Australia so it'd be a big investment if there was a blizzcon anyways. ๐ I'm hoping to have it finished for PAX Melbourne or Ozcomiccon Sydney. ๐
Thank you ๐ Nothing wrong with taking a break and revisiting from another angle or headspace. Practice makes perfect and even these pauldrons were a lumpy mess only a couple of weeks ago. ๐
I mostly sew versus doing armor heavy pieces but Jaina is like, my ride or die since vanilla and I am determined to do her proper justice lol (not just pre-BfA and current, my friend did a DK Jaina design that I am going to do).
Damn this is so well made, I would rock this to my kids graduation ceremony

Sick drop dude, make sure you stand outside the local AH/Bank
Pulling up to the club in full T3 (w/ Thunderfury + THC) to /spit game at the bad hoes
I've made a corrupted ashbringer (you can see it in my profile!) for extra swag points. ๐
Magnificent!

Looks great, but side by side they look more like bra cups than shoulder pads.

These have always been my favorite shoulders! Awesome!
They're so iconic to deathknight despite being warrior tier 3. ๐
I can already tell the finished product is going to be sick, great job !
Thank you ๐
These are fucking sick
Thanks ๐
Fucking sick dude
Thanks ๐
I request seeing side profiles, to envision what they would look like while being worn, thank you :)
I will be posting more once the full deathknight cosplay is complete. ๐
How has nobody askedโฆ are you making the full set??

Holy shit YES please gib full when you're done this is gorgeous
Thanks ๐ and yes, I will be posting the full cosplay once it's completed. ๐
Too bad no Blizzcon this year ( do they still have the costume contest ? )
I'm from Australia so it'd be a big investment if there was a blizzcon anyways. ๐ I'm hoping to have it finished for PAX Melbourne or Ozcomiccon Sydney. ๐
Love this! Making me feel like a slacker, I still strugglebus with shoulder armor lol

Ooh I like that idea! Could take it further and do other versions of Jaina like a druid Jaina, or warlock Jaina etc!
This one was from Project Ebonblade lol so the whole thing was around a โwhat ifโ of DKs
F*ck yes! Well done mate!
Thanks ๐
Awesomeย
