Soon

The sword will be ready soon.

But for now it’s not there, and I have much more better - it is a drawing of a sword :D

Process

Nazgul sword at work. I'm recording the process of working on it, so at the end of the work I plan to make a time-lapse video

Perfectionism

I apologize for not posting anything for a long time.

The emotional problems of my past caught up with me.

I want to make high-quality 3D models.

In this regard, I want to talk about perfectionism - is it evil or good (spoiler: everything is good in moderation, of course).

I have been striving for this quality in my 3D models from the very beginning. What I model has become more thoughtful, detailed and practical (sometimes even unnecessary, it se...

Promised additions

Work is underway, I will definitely make all the additions to the dagger that I promised ^_^

Life is a series of desires

I want to talk about desires.

What is it to begin with? In my understanding, this is a goal that I want to realize. To do this, you can find, master, invent and use different tools.

Desires change over time. The reason may be the environment, people, a changing view of reality.

And as soon as one desire is fulfilled, a second one, or several at once, is almost always formed. They can be structured and prioritized.

Even before I started doing 3D mo...

Aragorn's Elven Dagger

three-piece dagger 

I didn’t have time to make the accessories (I warned you about this), I’ll do it later in the month ^_^

Do I need to post the combined version for printing in one piece?

Current progress

It is very likely that I will complete this dagger by September 10th.

Sheath, buckles and wall mount will be available later in the month.

I want it to be possible to make this dagger from more than just plastic. So, there will be an option for those who want to print the parts separately. Or CNC cut. Or cast from metal (I was inspired by Michael for this idea. Thank you! ^_^).

Rest

I haven't written anything about myself for a long time. It took me a long time to figure out what to write. So I write about what worries me right now =)

Rest

It’s simple at first glance: if you worked during the day, then in the evening you need to rest in order to wake up rested and rejuvenated by the next day. This is how it should work.

In my case it works differently.

I, like all people, rest at the end of th...

Work on the next model has begun

Technically, I started yesterday. I will try very hard to release this dagger by September 10 (so far without scabbard and buckles), but I'm not sure that I will have time.

I am making this dagger with a time-lapse recording, so there will be a video towards the end of the work. I tried to take into account past experience, and it should turn out better ^_^

3d Age Gondorian Infantry Shield

Also, tomorrow I will be removing the 2nd Age Gondorian Shield from the free access for the Patrons (I was supposed to do it today, but I forgot to announce it). So have time to download the files if you plan to print it in the future;)

Tomorrow

a new shield will be posted ;)

New Instagram

I made a difficult decision - to switch to a new Instagram account. Some features are not available to me on my old account.

I will still read messages in the old account and I will still have access to it, but in it I will only make stories with links to new posts on the new account.

On my Instagram, I don't have access to the ability to run ads and the recommendation system. I've tried many ...

The visual part is ready

It remains to make a beautiful puzzle out of this shield ;)

I started doing it

I like this shield. This will be awesome =)

Plans for this month

My intentions are ambitious.

This month I want to make 2 models. First 3d Age Gondorian infantry shield. And also, in my opinion, I will have time and energy to make also Aragorn's elven dagger

A month of work in 12 minutes.

Sorry I disappeared for a while. It turned out that I needed a couple of days of rest and an internet detox. Now I'm back to normal and I'm ready to show you a time-lapse of working with spears.

I already realized that the number of frames per second is clearly not enough for a completely comfortable viewing, and next time I will do better =)

Do you have any other time lapse wishes?

Fountain Guard Spear + Gondorian Soldier Spear

Files are already available, check, print, enjoy ;)

Fountain Guard Spear

Gondorian Soldier Spear

Initially, I wanted to make only the fountain guard spear, but in the process I realized that they are quite similar, so I ended up wanting to make the gondorian soldier spear as wel...

Tomorrow!

I'll post 2 spears =)

And tomorrow the Sword of Gondor will no longer be available on a subscription basis. Hurry up to download if you haven't already ;)

Final soon!

I started making elements of aging =)

There will be 2 versions of each spear ;)

My work computer

Ask about what interests you! I'll try to write about it later =)

I have a laptop. I used to have a computer, but during the emigration I had to leave it.

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-11400H

Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU

Graphic tablet: WACOM BAMBOO ONE CTF-430

Of course I want a new, big tablet, but WACOM tablets are truly immortal. He is probably about 10 years old. And yet my tablet performs its function perfectly, ...

2 Spears ;)

Almost ready.

Also, give some more feedback about the figurines please =)

I have an idea

I recently looked at the announcement of the Fontaine Guard figurine on the WETA website. By the way, I can't find it now. And I came up with an idea...

A little background. Once upon a time, I made a couple of small figurines. It was Megumin from Konosuba and Naked Black Hanekawa from Monogatari (yes, I made an NSFW figure, but I didn’t post it anywhere, because I didn’t finish it, and I didn’t have an incentive to improve this direction, so I won’t show it to you :-P because I...

Render

I made a render of the finished part of the spear =)

Gondorian Ifantry Sword

I try to make it look nice =)

This model is currently available for free for Patrons in the Patreon Store until the release of Fountain Guard Spear. So if you are thinking of printing this sword for yourself in the future, do not forget to save the files to yourself =)

Here is the sword in the Patreon shop

All parts of the sword should be printed separately and then glue...

Few fixes

Since the last post, one of the Patrons has shared the best reference of this part of the spear. I fixed that part =)

Thank you Zalkegeroth!

Hello!

I am very happy to welcome new Patrons!

Thank you very much for your trust! I hope you enjoy the results of my work, just as I enjoy!

I'm very curious, write how you heard about my work ^_^

Work is in full swing

I finally figured out how to make this part of the spear. I don't have many references, and the one in the screenshot is probably the best one. It seems I did this part authentically, what do you think?

Sound background

(random photo from google)

I work at home, I determine my own schedule and the effectiveness of my work depends very much on my mood. When I'm sad, it's very hard for me to start working. And one of the best ways to create the right mood is through sound.

Before, I worked under any kind of music. But in the beginning was South Park xD

I just turned on some season and worked. But he was distracting, because I constantly unconsciously wanted to see what w...

Smoother

Details are being added.

I adjusted the size of the spear to the real one and the stick will be about 30mm in diameter. I will make the wooden surface of the shaft. How to make it better? A printed tube with an inner diameter of 25+0.8mm or something else?

All the same, the shaft will be about 2 meters long xD

About eating an elephant piece by piece

I love complex projects.

One of the hardest helmets for me was Malenia's (Blade of Miquella, if you know what I mean...). I saw the trailer and just fell in love with this helmet. When I started working on it (suddenly) it turned out to be very layered. Literally. I tried to take on everything at once to do it entirely.


The work went on for a very long time, there were many alterations, since the design of this helmet is quite complex, all the details are connected to each o...
