Commission: White Mage
Finished the FFXI White Mage Artifact commission. First off I'd like to note that the customer asked for several alterations which is why it may not look quite like the original design. He wanted the flaps to be shorter so thus I had to make the designs on those parts smaller to fit. He also didn't want the hat, shoes, or gloves. And he wanted the pants to be more like sweatpants with the leg warmers sewn directly on.
He has a really small waist according to his measurements so the belt there is actually only pinned on as it won't fit on my dressform. A little nervous about that as I'm worried either his measurement may have been off a little or if I made the belt too tight even though I added a whole bunch of extra inches to it. :/ I have leftover material to the side in case I have to make him a new one. Already prepared for that.
I know I got it slightly wrong there with the fact the front panel should be a little higher up as the edges aren't supposed to show like that at the top but I somehow got my calculations wrong when making it. n_n; The customer doesn't seem to mind though at least.
And the pants + leg warmers
Also I meant to post this a while back but forgot to. I finally got a chance to play around with resin.
Without paint
With paint. Wasn't sure if I liked how the spray paint looked on them at first. Has almost a rust ish look to it but its been growing on me so I think I'll keep it that way.
And yup these are my new pieces for the front "clasps" on Chopin. I'm remaking a lot of the bling on him as they just weren't sturdy enough. This will definitely be a lot sturdier than the original pieces and plus they look better. XD Not sure how I'm remaking the other pieces yet since these are the only ones that require multiples so it seems a waste to make molds for stuff that will only be made once but ehhh can't think of better ways to make them. Mainly the back piece details and the little dangly bling piece on the top. Though I think I'll just make the clasp that goes over the cravat out of sculpe as that's in a spot where I don't have to worry about it and I want to finally make that part. Also fixing the chain on the clock so its a bit more accurate. Finished the top hat a while ago. So little by little fixing this thing up.
