Dark Souls: More progress on my Lord’s Blade Ciaran cosplay. I’ve got the templates for the body armor done! I’ll probably finish up the leggings and such later on… [need more paper…]
…But I’m worried about the Tracer…. /glares at the resin curing
S’posed to be hardened by now, but it’s still elastic… Worst case scenario, I won’t have a blade. XD;;
Wheee!
I know this goes around a lot, but I see it all too often, and frankly sometimes it just jerks my gherkin.
People - there’s a reason some artists don’t like putting their stuff online. And there’s a reason why some artists put obnoxious watermarks on their illustrations. I try not to, but sometimes I think I should…
How to solve this? Firstly, don’t modify the artists’ work! it’s terribly disrespectful… Oh, and the other big thing - Source the art.
[I’m pointing this to a particular tag because it’s where I see my stuff mostly get used in…]
Now I’m going to go back to work…
Dark Souls: Oh, he is definitely quite marvelous.
Dark Souls: Progress! Mask elements are done, and the molds for the gold tracer, The mask needs 24 hours of drying, then I can sand, paint, and lacquer it up… make it so shiny and smooooth! XD
The blades mold’ll have to cure for maybe two or three days before I can pour in the resin… with how hot it’s been lately maybe I’ll be able to cast them before the week is over! Yeeee hawwww….
Posting more progress as I get them done! :D
Also thank you all for your kind words! To answer some of the questions I have been getting… 1:) Yes, I will be sitting at the Artists Alley @ Anime Next 2013 dressed as Ciaran. 2:) No, I am not part of any Dark Souls cosplay group. 3:) Yes, I am pretty sure I can look the part… I’m tiny. [5’2’ baybee!] 4:) Yes, I am going to learn a little sword dancing. Channeling my inner-Arya… :D
Dark Souls/Cosplay: Oh guess what? Yeah, I’m working on a Ciaran cosplay. Booyah. ♥
Here’s my model for the Gold Tracer. It’ll be cast into a mold and then I’ll make the blade out of poured shiny golden resin, and the hilt’ll be made w/ sculpting clay.
I’m so into this. Hehehehehehee…
I’ll post progress shots as I work on the costume! Wish me luck guys!
Dark Souls: Oh hey there Anor Londo Archer! You ready to kill me again? Well… take your best shot! [spoiler - they kill me.]
Karniz’s Many Deaths in Dark Souls is updated with FOUR new pages!!! Remember, as always subscribe to the Orange Guidance Stone [mailing list] to receive a mailed update as well as an exclusive sketch not shown anywhere!
Thank you for reading~
Dark Souls: Erhm… awhile back I opened up requests. One thing that was requested was Giant Dad… [I don’t know much about this character.] But yeah, felt he would suit this scene very well. XD;;
Dark Souls: Fuck yes! My Dark Souls 4 Knights of Gwyn shirt came in! It looks great…
(Gotta make the image a little brighter tho… Mwahahaa)
but fuck you American apparel! a XL is ridiculously snug on me…
Dark Souls: Sneak peek of something I’m working on… Huhuhuhu…
[also, mmmm nipple. ♥]
Dark Souls: So here’s why I didn’t do a shield design for Dark Souls 2, as many people have asked/beckoned/begged/pushed me to do… I’d want a shield that slowly spews Phalanx’s from Demon’s Souls into the battlefield - where they’ll eventually throw javelin’s into the back of your skull.
A girl can dream right?
Dark Souls: So, I need someone to talk me out of doing this Ciaran costume…
(I’m too old to be thinking of cosplay… Hehehe…)
Still, it would be neat to be at an Artist Alley dressed in a cool costume. XD
Dark Souls: Boogie Ciaran and Dancing Ornstein. No, it’s not the NPC’s having a good time - this is my friend and I dancing after he gave me the Lord’s Blade set. ♥
Speaking of Dark Souls… Karniz’s Many Deaths in Dark Souls got an update~ Two new pages, start here!
Now if you don’t mind me, I got some dwarves to be drawin’…
Dark Souls: [Screenshot, not my art, obviously. XD] I-I-It has happened!!!
Clickieclickieclickie!!! :D
[Note: No Ciaran was harmed in the playthrough of Karniz. I just… I just CAN’T. But an illustration was exchanged for the armor set you see here. And no, I will not always trade art for “digital items”, what kind of woman do you think I am?! XD;;]
Sankyuuuuu my lovely Dancing Ornstein/Kyuzudomo/Chubbybunny~ ♥
Dark Souls: So guess where Karniz is now… ?
[Thanks Steam user, Kafeigintou for building up my anticipation only to have it CRUSHED.. .or in my case, IMPALED! ♥]
Seems I’m going to need LOTS of help. If you want a shot at being seen in my comic [in future pages…] - team up with me and give me a reason to draw it... XD;;
BTW my Steam username is “Karniz”. And I’m SL 78!
[I’m thinking I may be a bit too low for this…]
[ten minutes has passed…]
OH HEY! Drawing inaccuracy After being donkey-kicked I realized it’s a fuckin’ MANTICORE. Reminder to work from screenshots and not memory next time. Forgive me folks. ^w^;;
IRL Comic: After just working… working, working - work work work work - so much on art-ing, I decided I should just RELAX. Sooooooo I’m going to play myself some Dark Souls. ♥
