Picasa is being a bitch about direct linking, sorry. If this link doesn't work lemme know.

Starts life much like Wingart does, as a Freehand file ~> Illustrator file ~> CNC plasma cutter ~> 2mm mild steel sheet ~> much bashing with a ball pein hammer in a swage block, some MIG welding and viola.

Incidentally, this is unfinished, more pics to come when it's all finished. I was just very impressed with how well it came up, so I'm keen to share.

Feedback questions and appraisal welcome ! :)

    SB, stop failing at permissions :p Link us to the gallery itself, rather than the image.
  • ChaosedChaosed Ranger
    I got told it is ' forbidden ' for me to use there oh so special soft ware.

    I didn't want to see your tentacle porn anyway. ( NOTE: that last bit is a lie. )

    Pretty damn cool. I like it. 2mm, that's approximately 14 ga. pretty heavy for hand-hammered work. I gotta think that is a fairly heafty piece of art.

    Forbidden tentacles, sounds kinky.
    But I can't see them...
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    that should have fixed it

    Picasa isnt my normal host, Im attempting to hide it from the recipient of the finished work
  • sataicallistasataicallista High Priestess of Squeee!
    I see it now, nice! :)
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Ah, now I can see the tentacle goodness.
    Very well done! Making organic symmetry isnt the easiest thing to do, but that looks awesome. I would like some closeup pics of the suction cups and the backside please. :)

    If I had the money.. ;)
  • ChaosedChaosed Ranger
    Wow tentacle goodness.

    I'm no longer forbidden! :D
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Ten-tacular!

    *ducks*
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    gallery is updated with finished work shots
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Looks great.

    Also looks like a boss from a console RPG. :p
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Yeah, that looks pretty hard!

    Cool idea, and nicely done. Fairly simple swords doesnt draw too much attention from the centerpiece.

    May I ask if its inspired by House Greyjoy perhaps? :)
  • ChaosedChaosed Ranger
    Wow that pic with a sword in each tentacle reminds me of my sister!
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    Freejack - Are your arms painted on ? :P 2mm is as thin as buggery

    Messiah - no direct influence involved, direct from my warped mind..:)
  • samuelksamuelk The Unstoppable Mr. 'K'
    Very nice, SB. Great work.
  • JackNJackN <font color=#99FF99>Lightwave Alien</font>

    How are you man? :)

    More precisely 14 gauge is thick enough it would be hard to hand hammer the steel with any precision.

    " as thin as buggery " makes no sense in American slang. Also it paints strange pictures in my mind. Keep it up, thanks. ;)
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    It makes perfect sense to me. :)
  • shadow boxershadow boxer The Finger Painter & Master Ranter
    eh.... I have no problems swinging a 30oz hammer at it all day with mm precision.. as I said... your arms must be painted on...:P
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Hell, I'm American and I caught it ;)

    Well you are the blacksmith...I'm just the guy who screws around with spreadsheets all day...

    Ok I know what it means, but as thin as? What, so it can sneak in and no one will ever know it was there?

    Fox New update; Ninja buggers, so thin you may never know they were there.

    On a side note sense that word isn't taboo in America. My brother called my dad ' the old bugger ' for several years until he moved out.
