Loki pauldrons from Thor: Ragnarok. 9-oz veg-tan leather, carved and painted by hand.Started these ages ago at the request of an acquaintance, but stalled out after getting the pieces carved & shaped, and they sat in my WIP bin for the better part of three years. Then I got a commission for them and I was like, Glory hallelujah, I can finally get these out of my house. It came out very tidy, and I’m rather pleased with it, even though the overall effect (green plastic/faux wood paneling/abstract wavy lines) feels kinda like a Holiday Inn built in the mid-2000s.The painting was a different technique from what I usually do – I did a black basecoat with the Pro Waterstain, as usual, but then used acrylic paint + glazing liquid to put a thin coat of color over it to get the green and brown. The brown bits were then dabbed with rub-n-buff in Spanish copper, and a resolene topcoat put over the whole thing to give it that extra luster. This, btw, was the reference pic of the actual costume I was working from:I’m probably not going to bother putting it up as a regular item in my shop, but I could be convinced to make it again.(Armory Rasa) -- source link
