    Light Staff IRL! (Prop Replica finished!)

    EDIT: Check below for the final product.

    If someone has some free time, I'd appreciate a quick favor.

    I have an upcoming build for another FFXI prop, however I have not played since late October, and currently my version of FFXI is not updated and not linked to any active credit card. Also, I used to play on 360, and I haven't had access to a modelviewer since my PC melted some time ago in June.

    If someone could fire up Altanaviewer and take some large, up-close shots of the head of a Light Staff (profile, front, top, and 3/4 view) and a couple of scale references (equipped on a female hume) I would really appreciate it. I'll be starting this project in the coming weeks and finding detailed references without my own modelviewer is proving rather difficult.

    Much appreciated in advance, and I'll be sure to keep you guys updated with the progress of the project if you're interested.

    Awesome work(as always lol). I love the shot of it being worn on your blog.

    How much do you typically get paid for those kinds of commissions if you don't mind my asking? Seems like a LOT of work (though this is me talking - my practical skills are absolutely abysmal) and given the quality of the craftsmanship you should hopefully get a lot for that!

    Mind blowingly awesome work (as well as the rest of everything on your blog).

    Also, how much would comissioning a functional Guy-Manuel helmet run someone?

    Holy shit that's amazing, definitely tops the Kraken Clubs. Which were also incredibly impressive.

    Not as much as you'd think, I'd wager. I don't really do this for the money, and if you felt like doing all the math I probably only made maybe $100 or so on this staff. Break that down to hourly pay and it starts getting kind of pathetic.

    Thing is, now I have a set of molds so I can make my OWN elemental staff (Aquilo's being my personal favorite) whenever I please, or even crank some out for my shellmates and friends. Maybe even make some more for the community if the bug bites, but no time for that currently.

    Unless you're rolling up with a briefcase full of crisp bills, it won't happen. Not to be a jackass or anything, but that god-forsaken project has taken me nearly a year and a half at this point and I have zero desire to spend that much time on a duplicate. Sorry!
