Barbarian update! 🔥

Okay we've got a big update this time!

I decided to go ahead and make my July video topic the matching weapons for this build, and I'm trying to go all out!

I'm working on an Ax and a flail to match ✨ I might make a little handheld plume of fire magic too if I have time!

I also decided to make the weapons magma/lava themed! The cracky texture of magma actually really helped with printing the ax head file (which I purchased from Honorecreations on Etsy ) because it meant I could slice it into super jagged bits for printing and when I reassemble it should help give me some cool lighting effects!

Speaking of lighting, I printed most of the ax head in hollowed out translucent PLA so I can stick LEDs inside 😛

I also wanted to challenge myself to learn a little more 3D work since I've been using so many community made models on this project, so I also picked up Nomad 3D last week and tried playing around with it a bit. I actually ADORE this program. It's very intuitive and I was able to sculpt a little decorative dragon for the ax in about a day!

Since I was on a roll, I also sculpted a gnarly hollowed out flail because I'm planning on sticking some LEDs inside that...and I also mayyy be building a few mini smoke machines for these props ✨

The smoke machines are still a WIP, hopefully I can pull it off, fingers crossed!

I also included a few other project updates here! I'm almost done painting my tail, I added a fur skirt to balance the silhouette, and I'm also almost done with the shin armor pieces!

This project has gone a whole journey but I feel like I'm finally nearing the end 😅

Okay more updates to come ✨

Also let me know if you want me to drop the 3D files I made as Patreon exclusives! They're a bit messy but they might come in handy for some of y'all!
