go ahead! make some!
what's stopping you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
a serious lack of skill for one xD also, i have no idea how
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sounds more like a serious lack of attempt to me.
grab some plating and try. that's how I did it. (started out with cardboard for designing)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
maybe, a bit. mostly lack of time to attempt
but what kind of plating do you suggest. and what kind of tools? i don't really work with metal
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
that really depends on the look you're going for.
a regulair gauntlet is steel plate on a leather glove. but I don't like rust. so then there was aluminium which is cheap, easy to bend and work with, and lighweight. but it isn't strong. there is Stainless steel, but that is really hard to work with and pretty expensive.
you could also go for hard leather. or plastics even. the choice of your material results from your abilities, your desires, and what is available to you
and metalwork is something you can only experience first hand. get out what you have and see how far you can take that.

being the broke bum that i am, i'll have to make do with the materials available. wich in this case is stainles steel, suprisingly.
but maybe when i have time, i'll try (or when i get a job, buy material easier to work with)
since you seem to know joep you're probably familiar with my few exploits in metalcrafting. wich reminds me, he owes me money...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
seeing how he's bumming just as hard as you seem to be I think that money will take a while to accumulate.
and yes, I am familliar. I saw the axe and the army knives.

when selling things to joep that is a know fact. doesn't really matter since he is quite reliable when it comes to paying off his debts.
might just take him a while. i like to compare it to forgetting you put money in your jacket and finding it again next winter. the money was allways yours but it feels like a gift anyway ^^
not the sword? i was kind of proud of that thing..

reliable indeed.

Oh my glob, that would be fucking fantastic for an Asmodian Aion cosplay if you made one with silver.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you ^^
I'm not sure what an asmodian Aion looks like, but a silver claw always works wonders ^^
too bad silver is damn expensive.

Also, if you ever decided to open these for commission, I would happily buy in silver (or even better, a darker nickel). I used to work with jewlery, so the price charts are familiar to me.

Commissioning craftwork in silver...
Damn, you must have deep pockets XD
I appreciate the vote of confidence, but I will admit I have 0 work experience with silver. Being an engineer that dabbles in the arts and crafts for fun, silver is not a metal I see myself working with anytime soon.
I am however learning how to work with stainless steel, since that is the direction I wanted to go with this.
the gladiator shot looks pretty cool. those wings would be a pain to make/wear. but If the left and right hand are the same, it shouldn't be too hard to make. It looks to be a velvet black arm-glove with plates on the knuckles and fingertips. and those gnarly wrist blades of course ^^
I'm saving this to my local files for future inspiration ^^ thanks for that.

Silver really isn't as expensive as you make it seem, but yeah. Like I said, Nickel is definitely an option for the claws, which is why I'm asking.
Like.. seriously. I want those claws in nickel. lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD okay okay, I hear you
I'm sure we can find something to agree upon
but why nickel? I know lots of people are allergic to the stuff.
the way I see it, you want a metal that tarnishes black and shines with some luster to it.
in that case I would actually try silver first, on account I know nickel isn't workable. I'd have to get regular steel nickel plated
^^ again, I appreciate the interest..
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Remember, I told you I used to dabble in jewelry. :3
I like the dark shine of nickel, and I myself am not allergic so it's fine for me. I know it tarnishes easy, but in cases like these I have a nervous tick for taking care of my metals.
All in all, it is YOUR decision combined with how deep my pockets can go (if you were interested in giving it a shot)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha, I remember
I'm gonna do some figuring out, I'll probably get back on this in a few days. check some availability and do some sketching.
now look what you've done. I'm all interested now >.<

Wow that's just amazing! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ thank you very much
shape-wise it is indeed comfortable. I spent many hours getting the shapes just so that it is. (that was part of the design offsets)
though, being aluminium, it quickly sucks all the warmth out of your hands in cold weather 
thank you for the badge, and for sharing your foamwork. I saw your head-gear tutorial, which has given me a couple of ideas. the detailing on your finishing makes me jealous of your talent
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you for your answer, you made a very good job with this gauntlet
And thank you so much for your comment about my helmet ^^' I'm very proud of the result, it was sooooo hard for me xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I am happy with it's design, I am getting a lot of positive feedback on it. I am thinking of redesigning it in the future.
to be honest, it was the helmet tutorial I saw first, but the entire suit came out amazing. I hope you'll get a lot of well-deserved attention on in.

Thank you for your comment

^^ so do I.
I'm pretty sure I'll be seeing more of you then ^^

I can't wait to see this finnished! It reminds me a lot of my war-talon, 'though mine only covers one finger and is an actual weapon.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
you should put a shot of that in your scrapbook ^^
Mine could be a weapon, on the right hand of course.
as for how this is turning out, I'm seriously concsidering a reboot. Planning to switch to stainless steel, rivited to a leather glove. winters here are too cold to wear it this tight on the hand (alu conducts all bodywarmth out)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I can see how that would be a problem.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
indeed, so I have given in to the thought that a leather glove is essential to outdoor use. and since I am now 4 years beyond then, a lot of new options are available to me now

thanks a lot, that was the outset when I started designing this ^^
and thanks for the fave and watch as well

(lol heeft er verder geen verstand van
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ thank you.
(lol volgens mij is er niets om verstand van te hebben. knutselen met metaalplaat misschien, maar zonder dat kun je ook naar de vorm kijken

Thank you, and thank you also for wanting to feature it in your group, I feel honoured that you would want to show it.

No problem man. ^^
In fact if you'd like to join we'd be more than happy to have you.

sounds like a plan, I'll have more to show on this topic once I get the ol' engine running again.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, well let's hope the engine is up and running soon.
Best of luck to you, and i hope you enjoy our group. ^^
