Looking to RMT Replica Kraken Club(s)

[Feielle]

do you happen to have a link for this or pictures or anything?

Sure, but after this I'm not going to be endorsing any more of my competition!

Fev was the the one who built Lightning's Sword. She does some very fantastic work.

Here's her website, pretty sure she's as busy as I am these days. props & projects

Hmm if your demand is so high that you can't keep up why don't you take on an apprentice? I'm sure there's a lot they could do without the training and skills you have but they take a smaller cut of the sales. Awesome stuff btw, I would like to see both the Dafk Punk helms done.

[Headspace]

Oh god, Daft punk helmets.

Awesome.

[Not Kuno]

If I wanted it made stronger to hit stuff with, is that possible? I really want one, but I like hitting things with other things and I really don't want to break it.

I would if this were my actual job. Unfortunately its just a side hobby and a way to make some money in my free time. I don't really have enough net profit to pay or hire an apprentice.

That depends entirely on what you're hitting with it. If you're clubbing on watermelons and beer bottles, then one of my resin ones will hold up fine (although it would eventually scratch the hell out of the paint.) If you're looking to bash in a TV set or a block of ice, I can't really help you. Again, I make props - not full-on weapons.

Ghost_wheel22's club is finished. The weathering is a bit heavier on this one, and the colors I used to weather it with were a slightly warmer palette than my original. This gives the piece a more bronzed look, which I like:

Now for the bad news: due to a large order from... well, someone I had to sign a nondisclosure agreement in order to get the business with, I won't be taking any orders for July or August. Congrats to the 4 that slipped in under the wire, and my apologies to those that didn't! Hopefully these will be back and available again in September when my schedule clears up a bit.

Please note I am NOT canceling my current orders. Everyone who has issued me a deposit will get their club by the end of the month.

Those photos don't give full justice of how awesome those clubs look. I can't wait to try it on the first turtle I see!

[Feielle]

I will admit to a bit of photoshopping to make sure the pics show as well as possible. In the interest of full disclosure, here is the "grass" shot above, pre-photoshop. As you can see, I only really altered the color values slightly. Everything else is quite accurate.

Hahaha.

Super secret project requiring non-disclosure agreement papers... Sounds delightfully interesting. Does that mean once it's made you wont be able to put it on your blog? Or is it just during the creation phase?

[Mojo]

I won't be taking any orders for July or August.

Fuuuuuu.....

Eh, whatever, it'll be worth the wait. Good luck with your new project, post how it goes when you're done! (if you're allowed to)

[SamanosukeShiva]

i bet it's for a movie! psst psst MGS? haha..

[mootsfox]

Great work! You should be at cons. Anime fans will drop a lot of money in a weekend. Add some Pocky and other crap and you could be looking at $2,000 in a weekend.

[Kyreth]

And my dreams of having someone go as AV and then a number of Kraken DRKs appearing suddenly went up in smoke.

Walk outside the con. Set up cameras. Record epic.

[Tyche]

Someone made you sign a non-disclosure form for a large k-club order, or some other item?

[Feielle]

dude, if its a non-disclosure... I can't talk about it. Suffice to say the only thing that matters is that they have the money to sue the ever-loving shit out of me if I breach contract, so thats not happening.

[Purrrfect]

I has an idea... waiting to see if I'm right in the future lol.

lol, at first I thought the post was serious and I looked at the pic and had a wtf moment for a bit.

That is some awesome work you do man. Just so you know, if I win the lottery we're gonna talk about a relic set.

Well, a non-disclosure could cover anything or nothing. The way it was worded sounded like it was a large order of clubs, which is why I asked.

[Ghost_Wheel22]

SE has commissioned >9000 Kraken Clubs. They'll sell for $750 and include an exclusive in-game item.

Or it could be something completely unrelated to FFXI since he does awesome work in other genres.

[Feielle]

All of July's orders have been shipped out. I will be taking orders for more after the first week of September.

These are copies #4 and 5, Kriz and Mistmonster's clubs:

And to show a variation on the theme, this was a special build for a "Gigas" Kraken Club; an interpretation of what a weapon used by the Gigas on Qufim Island would look like after decades of neglect:
