Illithid

Got so much on at the moment I have been very lax in posting, so I am going to try and do better. Here is a new mask we did for a French larp group. All latex with separate tenticles stuck on.
Hope you like

May try one later with faom tenticles as they will move more naturally.

Here is the skull knee plate option for the new armour. We intend to make a few different versions, such as lion, eagle as well as the skull and plain versions.

New armour

We are nearing completion on the new suit of armour. No name for it as yet but here are the fully articulated lower leg and knee pieces.

Skyrim Daedric sword

Finished this a little while ago. I was commissioned to make this sword from skyrim. It was a challenge as the sword need to look curved, but it has a straight core inside.
Made from plastizote foam and latex with a cast poly handle.

Steampunk helmet final

I have finished and painted up the prototype for the steampunk helm. See what you think. I am very pleased with how this came out.

WW1 Steampunk helm and face plate

This is the piece I am making for the competition we ran last year.

Moulded from the clay sculpt and cast out in fibre glass so I could get it sanded and detailed. This is almost ready for final moulding. I still have to make the breather/filter parts, but they will be made and moulded separately.

New website

Hi all. We now have a new website. Come visit at www.Dragon-armoury.com
I will still apdate the blog so see you soon.

Jay

Egyption style breast plate

This was a custom order I did. They came out pretty well I think.
Made from semi flexible impact resistant polyurethane.

New Troll sculpt

It took a while as it was hard to come up with a good design. There are far to many ideas as to what a troll looks like. This is what I eventually came up with.

Dragon armour new belt arrangment

The belt now buckles on the side for much more adjustment.

Prototype mechanical Digi leg

This is the first digi leg I have made using my new design. It works well, allowing me to crouch and walk without putting any pressure on the anckle. There are a couple of design mods that need to be done but on the whole I am pleased. I will add video when I have the second leg completed.

Hobgoblin

This is the first paint test for the hobgoblin mask.

Black knight armour

This new piece is to try out an idea I have had to make suits of armour with interchangable decorative additions. So the main suit will be reasonably plain and then you choose the style. On the lower leg piece I have done, the skull knee can be taken off and a new decoration put on. I will do the upper leg armour next and then make another knee decoration.

The skulls mouth opens and closes as you bend your knee. This was sculpted in clay, then rough cast and cleaned up.

Wood Automiton

This was a challange. I wanted it to look like it had been carved out of an old gnarled log with some of the uncarved log forming the face. I think the final sculpt worked. Although I had to stop the grain at the top of the face because it would have taken far more time than it was worth to sculpt all the end grain.

Hobgoblin

This started out as a troll but the finished sculpt ended up looking far to cunning and intelligent. So it has evolved into a hobgoblin.
Sometimes the clay leads you in a different direction and I find that it is better to go with it.
