Description
Hello!Please concider this one as a Work In Progress!
I went to a cosplay convention last weekend as Cloud from FFVII:AC. Then a few days before the convention. I had this great idea of making a 1:1 size cardboard print of the sword so I could wear on my back!
I became really busy and had to hurry this project if I were to catch my train to take me to the convention the day before!
I unfortunately couldn't complete the whole sword before I had to go so I simply cropped the bottom part for now.
Anyways, I'm happy how it turned out compared to the time spendt ^^
I will upload more pictures of the cardboard of the sword and probably of me wearing costume along with it
But that will have to wait for a couple of weeks, till I have returned from my vacation!
Have a nice summer!

Looks Great! A few months ago, i asked you if i could use your keyblade deviation as a background to a KH Tribute I was working on (which turned out great!) and i am here once again to ask if i can use this in a FFVII Tribute im trying to make? Also did you ever finish the whole sword? Thanks!

This is probably the single most stunning piece of art I've ever seen on this site.
If this is still a work in progress, I can *not* wait to see the finished product.

hehe Thank you for the kind words ^^
I'm not sure if I'm really going to finish it someday, as I only did half of the sword to my cosplay a year ago But still, I'm happy to hear you appreciate what you see

You're welcome. :3
Yes, I know how it is having to leave your work unfinished; I had been working on mine at my grandpa's house, in his woodshop, but the property is being sold, and so I have no means with which to complete it. ):
I do appreciate it, very much so; your sword renders and this here actually helped me decide how I would define certain details on my own.
I hope you don't mind that I did that, do you?

Ah I see. Well things always changes around us. Either for the better good or not.
I'm happy to help out. I cannot say my render is accurate and true to the one used in the movie, since they had many different versions of the sword, and mine became a mix of them.
Anyways, my art is here to be to help, so you got my approval! Good luck!

Shaiath In reply to mogcaiz [2010-02-17 20:55:51 +0000 UTC]
Exactly my view on life, there. Though, I wish I could have done more; I didn't even finish the First Tsurugi.
No one's sword can be truly accurate for that exact reason, but as I said, I did the main outline, your swords helped me keep it all in perspective, and with the small details.
I took certain liberties of my own, though, so it would be truly my sword.
I'm so glad to have your approval.
If I had a blog, this would SO go in it. :3

Wow, I like this.
I'm a fan of Cloud (FFVII), and not to mention, "Cloud" is my nickname
I'm gonna attempt something like this is the near future... hopefully it will be atleast half as good, lol.

I feel bad, but sometimes I can't keep up with everything and everyone.
I saw you got a DD!!!! Congratulations I've always wondered when your work was going to get one
That's a good policy (:

Yes, I know! But you are one of the better ones to respond for sure!
Thank you! This is actually my second DD! I feel satisfied about this work! The first one shouldnt recieve a DD in my opinion >.<;
Have you received DDs before?

Catiris In reply to mogcaiz [2009-07-03 06:05:42 +0000 UTC]
C,: aw, that's nice of you.
Oh yeah! I can't remember if I was watching you when you got the first one. But I think you deserve them both! You say you are a level 1 3D artist, but I think you are much higher!!
Nope. I'm not sure if I'm ready, in my opinion. If someone else thought I was, I'd be flattered. I think it would be nice to have some attention and actually get enough of an audience to feel like you had reliable feedback, but I don't want a piece that I don't think represents my talent to be featured.
Someday I would like to!

Photoshop, textures and 3D. Blended together for a couple of days. Follow the reference pictures closely as you do and it will turn out for the better or worse in the end

xD The I forgot to say that this model is from 2006. So the model is very simple and bad I spendt lots of time texturing it though.
How you doing man?

Sha-X-doW In reply to mogcaiz [2009-06-26 07:52:07 +0000 UTC]
Lol, I still wanna know ... What I want to know exactly is how you combined all the pieces together, I can model them piece by piece.
Well, i'm doing great man, Remember the interview I did, they liked me. Now I just need to do few tests and show my skills. Thanks man, how about you?
*p.s do you know about the 50trillion particle render?It's possible now!

mogcaiz In reply to Sha-X-doW [2009-06-27 15:51:52 +0000 UTC]
Oh... hmm.. I had to go back and fort and remodel each model over and over again I guess ^^: It was a long time ago. I wrote a journal for a few years ago about how much I hated that sword for being such a pain in the ass! Lack of reference pictures and different versions of the sword made it hard to recreate. :c
Oooh! So you got a foot inside! Awesome! You will do well! Good 3D artists get far!
What kind of job position?
Im having a blast over here as you can guess California is such a great place for vacation!
>_> 50 mil particle render?
