I would totally commission for a pair of these!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ thank you very much, I love em too, but it's not really done yet (in my eyes)
XD so what's stopping you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They still look really awesome
How much would it cost to commission a pair?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well that depends on the material I'll use, and the size.
these are aluminium, which are easier to make, but scratch easily. I could use steel but that'll be much harder for me, and that drives the price up as well.
I'll send you a note with a quote ^^ (don't relly like talking money in my gallery)

Okay, I'll look in my notes ^_^

Oh gosh. I love these! Very, very intricate!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
aww thanks, not that intricate nowadays. I plan to one day expand on this project, maybe even finish it on a good day
I'm good at starting a project, but a rut with finishing one. I keep finding things to try, and I keep losing time to do it in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
^^ thanks, need to get around to finish it someday
but so many other things just keep popping up. >.<

just a question, do you use the armour-archives webstie for making them, or is it completely self designed?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
have tried the armour archive, but could only find forward facing plating for gauntlets, and I wanted backwards facing plating. So yeah, designed each bit in cardboard and masking tape, then made then in aluminium plate.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nicely done, I'm trying to find time to make a gauntlet.
but first some casemodding, then some schoolwork, after that....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ah, the ancient Chinese riddle:
'many time is used, but where is the rest?'
-.-???
XD anyway, thank you for the fave, and let me know if you want any help or advice from me

Took one look at your page, scrolled halfway down the picture, and immediately scrolled back up and watched you. Fantastic work.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha, thank you for the praise. I try to do a bit of everything in hopes of becoming good enough at it to put up something decent. you're very good at drawing, and I stay by what I said about the coaster. great work, I hope you'll make more ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Looking very good. I will keep watch
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you ! ^^
A new update (hopefully the final one) is coming, soon I hope, but not likely >.<
Damn my aducation and the forthcoming lack of time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Nicely done! Wish I had found these when I was designing mine.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
^^ thanks, and thank you for the fave.
yeah, an example would have saved me a lot of time too. But hey now you can say it's 100% own creativity, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Wow that is really cool! Can you hold a knife handle wearing it? It looks like it moves pretty well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks ^^
yeah, that depends heavily on the knife. The PROP knife in my gallery has a very fat handle, which i did so i could use it whilst wearing the gauntlet, so that I can wield. though any other knife won't work too well.
Weapons are out of the question, they are just too heavy for the limited contact surface the gauntlet gives.
It moves perfect, I took the better half of a year to design it just so that it would.

Oh wow these look kick ass! I cant wait to see the end product. ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah they are huh? I am working on the third phase now. closing all the gaps with aluminum solder. after that it's wrist guard making and then it's finally complete.
It's been loads of fun ^^ oh and blood too
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
XD awesome! the blood would be a nice effect.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha, too bad it was real blood. my blood. and not intended either
ah well, that's what you get for working with metal
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol bummer, at least its authentic -_^
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha authentic pain yeah
either way I'd bleed willingly for it, and I believe it has strengthened my bond with it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol, right on! Just be a bit weary if it starts calling for souls to feed its hunger...actually nevermind, that would be pretty awesome >
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
no, it calls out for kitten, puppy and avocado smoothies

Wow nice work! Are you using a hing system or is each part independent? It reminds me a little of Sauron's glove only more dragon-esk. What gage(American standard) metal is it? It looks a little plain on the back of your hand compared to you fingers... Have you though about splitting it into 2 pieces(for more mobility) and having a third(or more) overlay the seem? Good stuff can not wait to see it more complete!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe, thanks. I got fed up with all gauntlet designs having the plating face forward. So I desided to engineer my own system. they are all loose rings, though when worn the tip and the second plate are connected by a string, this keeps the tips from wiggling off my fingers when I flex it.
the gage is about 1,5/32 of an inch (1mm thick)
Currently, I am working to seal up all the gaps and seams on the finger rings. after that I'll make a wrist and upper arm guard, after that I'll decorate both the palm guard and the arm guard with a second layer of 0,5 mm thick plate (0,7/32 of an inch)
(oh, and I wear a black glove underneath it now)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I read about the gloves. I understand about getting fed up with a piece. I work on a couple of different ones so that I always have options. You said you were casting the gaps closed? I solder and weld, I know about casting clay but not metal.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah my initial plan was to build a microwave foundry (yes it can be done, with the right crucible) and then use metal casting to fill the gaps and do a decoration at the same time. However, due to me not having an actual workshop with fireproofing and such, I toned my high expectations down a notch and soldered them shut.
oh and for clarity's sake. I did not make gauntlet's with the plates facing forward, I just saw a lot of them. And seriously, I dare anyone to find an older model gauntlet with the plates facing backwards like mine

^^ why thank you, I'm glad you like it.
It's been a fun project, and it's not done yet.
Oh and thank you for the watch
👍: 0 ⏩: 0

All you need is aluminum sheet from your local DIY store, a saw, and patience.
