[Art] The Gallery

[Caliana]

Artistic and want to show off your creations? Post them here!

[Dasch]

Does creations include things I have crafted? (as opposed to drawn?)

[Tastyvixen]

I would say anything you yourself would consider art you can put here as long as you are teh one that made it. hehe

[Mawerick]

I already posted something over here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=908

[Dasch]

I'm not an artist, I can't draw cool pictures, but I make stuff. If this doesn't classify as art, feel free to remove

This is made of LD45 foam, latex, and poster paints (for use at LARP events)


And a 'Volley Gun' made for a Steampunk LARP (Yeah, I LARP a lot, most of what I make is for LARPs)


As I said, if this isn't art then please remove

[Cherri]

Those are awesome! I definitely think costuming counts.

[Tastyvixen]

you had me at "latex"

and yes, I would say that falls under art..... mmmmm latex

[Caliana]

Does creations include things I have crafted? (as opposed to drawn?)

I specifically used "creations" for that very reason. If you made it and want to show it off to GSP crew and listeners, go right ahead. If you play League of Legends, think of this as art/item submission section the Summoner Showcase series on youtube.

Very cool stuff, Dasch!

[Lostclevage]

Being as i don't larp, How strong is that sheild? Is it only taking like the misc bean bag hit or something or is it taking thwacking. Either way I thought it was Steel at first glance.

Also is the detail carved into it, or did you cut it out of a sheet than glue it ontop?

Also that volley gun looks like it would make quite the melee weapon

[Dasch]

The shield is about 2" thick foam similar to the foam that camping mats are made of, glued in 3 layers. If a real weapon were to hit it, it would probably bend and flex and come apart, or be heavily cut up, but it regualarly takes a beating from LARP weapons.
The Volley Gun is darned heavy - there's about £60 worth of off cut piping and assorted plumbing bits in there, so if it hit someone it would hurt. (The trigger is off an old wheel lock pistol, and the Stock is from an old rifle, the front furniture I had to made myself from a scrap of wood in the shed.

Just a few of the Papercraft items ive made..

[Duddits]

[Dasch]

Very cool. I have a pepakura mask in the making, so I have a vague idea how much work went in to that building construction. Kudos.

[Duddits]

I Have a 1 in 1 Terminator head ill post later when im at home lot of work went in to it and still need to detail it after the paint went on

[Lostclevage]

wewt more pics of the paper craft, I never got into custom model building.

Love the mini Gibson Flying V

[Duddits]

a lot more detail needs to go in to this but is on the way.

[Lykeios]

Not one of my best but needed a new desktop background... the fish were creeping me out...

[Dasch]

As well as Shields for LARP I've made other stuff too:
Belt Pouches:


armour and swords:

No prizes for guessing the inspiration of this armour set (this is the first stage - it now has thigh and shin armour, a and forearm mounted crossbow

To match with the shield (they were made for the same group / faction as the shield) I also etched the logo in to two segments of the armour
