Aiming high... WIP

So good!, I'm really envious of your ability to stick with a project after so many hours.

I get really fed up with a project once I get around 40 hours in and find it hard to finish after.

Haha, yeah... it does get tiresome after a while. It all comes down to having a plan, and following it without deviation, and without compromise. It can be exhausting at times, but in the end - you're better off for it. :)

I've finally managed to finish sculpting and texturizing some of the surfaces.. oh, and put in a 0,03ct yellow diamond near the tip as well... ^_^

A bit more proper picture. I really like the activity in the meteorite iron. Beautiful stuff.

 

Have a good sunday everyone! :)

Hi everyone, I put some final touches on side B of this blade yesterday, and thought I'd share the result:

Perhaps some of you recognize the ship... ;)

 

I've now begun working on the sheath scales, as well as test-scales for the handle. I need to drill a big hole through the handle, and I am not risking 260 hours of work without a test, so I am preparing a replica of the handle with the exact same materials as the actual piece in order to see with 100% certainty how it will go. fingers crossed! :unsure::lol:

 

Have a nice weekend folks!

Firstly need to say this place is inspiring, from beginners to masters.

That said, @Alveprins I find your work particularly inspiring.
I have some personality flaws and location & budget limitations which means I never never hope to equal your art, but you make me want to try and lift my game.

Painting a perfect Mona Lisa seems easier to me than what you do!:lol: (I can't paint to save my life!)

That is very kind of you to say Sir! :) If you just improve one thing at a time - and always challenge yourself - eventually after a while when you look back at your previous work; you'll realize you've come along far! Just got to keep going at it. :)

“If you improve one thing at a time” those are words of wisdom…… I can’t say i recognize the ship……though I think it is a space farer……
