Sieg's Leather Stuff (possibly NSFW)

Postby Sieglatan » Mon Oct 04, 2010 11:35 pm

Hail all!
After a good break from any real progress in leatherworking, thanks to moving across the state, getting Salamandastron back on its feet, etc. I'm finally getting back to the old knife and burner. I must have ten pounds of armor and flexible leather in bags, and a million billion rivets (nails and washers), so to ease back into the fold, I decided to make a frog for my favorite green/blue Blisdon.
Potentially NSFW if work sucks, and I'm better at this than I think I am...

Image
The main body, after burning, dying, and finishing. Made with scrap and nails, I'm using a really simple design, but hoping to add a sort of flare to it.

Image
The holding body, after cutting, but before anything else. Next to it, is the sword this is for.

Image
The holding body, after burning, before molding, next to the paper pattern. Here you can see the slightly NSFW theme- going for a female manticore (with a wry impish grin) theme, because manticores have been on my mind ever since hearing Myssori's "Orphan Song." I drew a small arrow on the top to remind myself of the orientation, as this will be worn on my left hip.

My next challenge will be to paint a convincing color gradient using only black, red, white, and gold leaf, but if I **** it up, its only scrap, and I can burn this one and make another.

I ended up using a watered down, non-VOC, scarlet dye for the skin tone, and then added small bits of non-VOC black dye to shade. If I had a warmer color, like yellow, then I could probably highlight better, but I just used opaque white eco-flo, instead. The gold coloration is gold leaf, and the entire thing is finished with Tandy's "Antique Finish" so its not glossy.

Detail of lower angle. Now to finish riveting!

Sorry Lady and Gentlemen, but the scabbard is a total ice queen. You have to take it out to dinner, like five times, before you can even tease the idea of sliding your * sword into it.
My big black armor chest that you were so fond of is still around, Ana :P

I've been getting some flak on fb as to why I made the nipples gold. For one thing, gold leaf over nipples IRL is freaking awesome. But more to the point, none of the gradient patterns with the colors I had really did the trick- they would make them look less like nipples and more like blotchy messes.

The thing is functionally done, and works very well- I just need to get my camera up and running~!

Thanks for the feedback, all!

Thanks everyone!- I'll post some pics of the completed scabbard with my new garb as soon as I can. I ultimately ditched the idea of the hand-and-a-half sword being used in the scabbard, as the long handle gets in the way too much for me to do much else. Instead, I use the rapier that I posted in the foamsmithing forum, and it works beautifully-

Anyways, I'm doing more leather projects, but I hate making so many new threads- Perhaps I can convince Derian to just rename this "Sieg's Stuff (possibly NSFW)" or something, so I can just post on this thread. meh-

Here are the knee cops to the greaves I've been working on. Fully articulated, and made from 16 oz formed/hardened leather.
Image

And the Greave pieces to go along with them. I decided to go with a lace-up design for the added adhesion to my shins. I still have yet to burn these- though I started with the one on the right...
Image

Here's the ultimate design work for the one on the right- I liked the corrupt abbot from "Conquest of the Longbow"- simultaneously jolly and sinister. I'll post so we can see how well I can translate that to the leather with a wood burner! Also, I have no idea what to write below the portrait on the banner...
Image

PS- before anyone points it out- the sharp spikey bits on the bottom of the knee cops will be flush with the greave piece, so they wont stick out dangerously~!

My next bit is going to be the gorget/pauldron combo that fits with my cuirass- I'm getting over wearing cheap-ass chainmail underneath everything. I also want to make a good armored codpiece, since getting hit there sort of sucks, and it ties my armor's design scheme together. I hope to also have a pair of articulated vambraces and fingered gauntlets done by January...

meh, I wish Stephen King's jaunting, or something like that was around so that I could attend some of these awesome Eastern events I've heard so much about. As for the teaching bit, I've been thinking of doing a few entries in the "how to build" section on the wiki, starting with how to make the ribbed, leather bound grips I have on most of my weapons, but I don't want to be too forward~

Yea dude, no one will have an issue with your tutorials. Hell i browse the good ones and steal bits and pieces of what i like to do what i do...Im not ashamed to admit i steal ideas from you and FB all the time because you two are * good at what you do. My under construction predator helmet thanks you btw. So please do post some tutorials. If they are complicated, put an (advanced) tag next to them and have at it. More people in this game would be improved greatly by following some of the things you do.

Finally finished with the Christmas shipping rush, I finally have some time to do some quick painting, before I rivet the knee cop to the greave proper...

Image

I admit that the details are hard to see with the smallish pic size, and the distort caused by the curved hardened leather- The leather is pre-coated with a liquid gesso that allows whatever I paint to flex, instead of crack, if the leather is ever bent. I still have to finish the figure's shading and detail, and then put some antique varnish layers over it, though I expect most of the wear to occur on the over-lying knee cop instead...

This is keeping in the same color/thematic scheme of the rest of my armor, what with the fire and brimstone and all. The figure is dressed in the vestments of a cardinal bishop, and, as stated before, is slightly based off of the corrupt abbot from Conquest of the Longbow. I plan on wearing sabatons over these, so I hope the ultimate look will be flames contained is iron black, like some form of infernal furnace or something...

Coming off from a cold, and left with some leftover fiberglass core and leather, I made this set in a few hours~!
Blade length = 12.25" so its pretty close to a min length legal blue~~!

Image

Image

I went for a sort of an elf aesthetic, mainly to try out some new Kelly Green Fiebing's dye I just got, and to practice a woodsy theme before I start on my realm's belt sashes (which I might make out of rivets and thin leather...). I might wear this with my garb though it conflicts with my general motif/character. I remember a drawing in the third edition D$D "Tome of Evil" book that had an armored human with a shaved head, and half of his lower lip ripped off nonchalantly pushing an elf corpse off of his sword with his boot that I really liked, so maybe I'll go with that sort of mentaility- that the dagger set is an elven war trophy.

For some reason, I am really partial to the whole humans killing elves thing. Drenched in symbolism~

Thanks Kraesh!

Demi- gauntlet for my left hand- clam shell design fashioned around some welding gloves. Honestly, I began it as a practice warm-up for the fingered gauntlet for my right hand.

Image

Image

The thumb piece works amazingly well, both in terms of mobility and preventing my thumb from being snapped by a glaive swing. The fingers are mobile enough to grip ****, buckle armor, type, etc. Overall, I'm pleased with how this throwaway project turned out. I think I'm going to give it a red color with a tarnished gold border.

First stages for a project for a Gen Ed class- its due Tuesday, so we'll see how I do under pressure!

Haven't updated this in a while...

Here's the completion of the puppet- I felt it was half-assed, and I really don't like the entire thing together, but my prof liked it sufficiently enough. The neck and jaw were fully articulated with the wrist and index finger. Ultimately, I might cut the head off of the thing and adorn a banner with it or something.

Belt quiver for an aspiring archer in our realm- Mostly leather with a faux wolf fur trim for looks, and to protect the fletching.

Image

My current project- a new fighting mask with an articulated jaw. I'm giving this one a lot more padding than previous ones, so hopefully it won't look too bulky. I'm also going to try to veer away from the Uruk-hai look that it has at the moment. I'm sure they have enough petitioners, posers, etc. as it is.

Lolz- more stuff!

This is an armor belt/ tasset set that Krow of Anduril commissioned from me-
The leather is hardened 12 oz belly leather, for the most part, with the front and rear anchors being 16 oz. A good portion of the steel rivets are hinged, and the hip plates slide on top of one another, so there's a fairly high degree of mobility. The tail feathers are modeled after the ones on Rooster's armor~!

Thanks again for the awesome pics, Krow!

Its been a while- life, etc. Here's a few small projects I've been amusing myself with.

Image

Murder Mask I made for Bear of Sword Coast- Nothing too fancy, but I liked how the colors turned out- the greens are a bit better looking in person. I did this as a service as a slave at CXV. Thanks again, Bear!

Image

Armor grade hat (yes, they had those- usually a normal hat with a steel helm hidden underneath- http://www.*.com/rareenglishciv ... crete.aspx)- and an armor mask I'm making for Rooster of Anduril.

Image

Another angle showing the death moth painted on the front by Hailey of Anduril and the two tarot cards I happened to find by themselves on a walk.

Image

Image

Leather 12 gauge shotgun shell side carry for the stock of my Remington Model 31. A great way to use up some scrap belly leather! I'm thinking of either burning a design on the other side, or stitching on a bit of soft elk leather to function as a cheek plate. We'll see~

Until next time, thanks for the comments!

Prize sash Maelstrom of Anduril asked me to make to commemorate his victory at the red tourney at Battle of the Ring II back in January 2010. The eyes are plastic gems set into the fabric.
Not leather, I know, but I liked how it turned out.

Armored mask made for Rooster of Anduril

Fighting mask I made for myself- kind of a vengeful nature spirit look- All of the lines were carved, not burned, which is new for me, but I like how it turned out. Excellent peripheral vision with the bowed out eye slits. Combat tested and Sieg approved.

I really really really like this last one. Do you find that when strapping the mask on, it hits your nose a lot?

Awesome work as always, but that last one is just creepy....reminds me of the Mouth of Sauron: Image

Thank you all!

I Dapped a square of foam on the interior of the mask where the bridge of my nose sits, so my nose isn't too crushed. I usually either form the leather to allow for the nose, or make it different pieces, but I wanted to keep the flat motif for this one.

I thought that too when I finished it- it was tempting to answer every command of the field marshal with "who here in the rout has the authority to treat with me?" but the reference would probably be lost.
