I suck at art.

Post by Ibuix »

But I really like woodwork. I've decided to undertake a project making replicas of different swords from video games and movies.

I started with my favorite video game of all time, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It's the Master Sword.

I used nothing but a hacksaw, handsaw, jigsaw, and a file for literally everything else. Since I didn't have a laithe, it looks really sloppy around the handle and shit, and it took me about 30 hours to finish edging even one side of the blade. Since this is going on a rack, I just left the other side unedged so it would stand easier on the rack. Anyway, I also suck at painting, and with my limited supplies and a $30 budget, here it is.

Blade is 38 inches. Since I'm 6'3", it's tailor made for me.

Looks alright, but if I may:

- It's cut very unevenly on the sides of the blade. Might I ask how you cut it? Or if you didn't cut it, how you got it like that?
- The paint job isn't that stellar. I know what you're thinking. "I suck at painting." But taking it slowly and using a template can go a long ways. I assume you might be using acrylic paint, if not spraypaint. Drawing out your design with pencil will let you keep a general design while simultaneously covering the template

But it's not bad.

You do have a big toe .-. But the sword does look nice. You could use that talent and make people pay you stuff and you can make them stuff.

YOU KNOW WHAT I TAKE PRIDE IN MY BIG TOE DAMMIT.

But thank you, I've considered the idea once I buy some more tools, so that's definitely something I can look toward doing in the future!

Well... you know what they say about guys with big toes Image

And if you're into cosplay stuff, you could promote your work by walking around at cons and people learning about you, etc. Good luck though, I've always wanted to try making weapons, they're pretty cool..
