would you mind telling me the tools you used and where you got the leather for all of your vambraces?

raw leather from the closest leather/shoe repair guy.
The sturdy leather is called a vegetal leather( from standard cow skin), it's raw, you need to tint and oil it(i use mink oil).
The soft leather is just classic mineral leather, the one they use for bags & stuff, thinner, already treated & tint (mainly cow skin again)
the stitches are done with waxed treads so they stick together one tied.
you only need very basic tool: leather needles, leather pick to pierce the holes before sewing and various punches to punch holes for the rivets, and of course a good anvil(oldschool shoemaker anvil is the best...but very hard to find)

thanks to you all I only have good comments! I don't care that much about the pageviews.
DA is like everything else, you have to post eye-catchy stuff to be popular,most of the time it has nothing to do with the actual quality of the work.
so...yeah.. Thanks again!

hi i was just wondering did you name yourself after the iced earth song slave to the dark? or is it just a coincidence?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SlaveToTheDark In reply to hanzman89 [2007-02-12 05:47:09 +0000 UTC]
it's somehow a convergence/accumulation of coincidences.
- spawn, Iced Earth ( which is not a band that I respect but I did enjoy that album for a while )
And also because my art is slave to darkness in it's very language, like I find easier to convey ideas through darkness...so...yeah I didn't really think abbout it, it came forth naturaly
p.s. i hope you make any sense from this blabering...hehe

Ay! si j'avais une forge je forgerais aussi...ca a l'air d'un putain de trippe. Nice job en passant, tout particulièrement pour les 2 épées un peu rouillé/antique. J'ai toujours eu un faible pour les pièces qui raconte un histoire plutôt que de s'appuyer sur un apparat ludique.
