Just messing around,...

The "Hell Glaive". Looks more like something out of Turok then Blade,... but still, IT'S HOT! You see,... I want a glaive that cover up as much of the reservoirs as possible but doesn't,... this is why the blade is very much thin and see through. I dont know for sure that I will use this exact design becuase I still want to tinker with it, explore the possiblies. I have to go to the studio to do that. I need the reservoirs right in fron of me. This blade has to be able to be mounted to the brackets.
Here is the actual Hell Glaive that I'm going to use. I think it looks better then the one in the pic above.
Going to trace now. I need two "clean" copies.
Clean copies. Clean meaning thin lines. When I draw I usually draw over the same line several times as I make make curves. It thickens the lines. When I copy I draw a very much thinner lines over the thicker line but I use the thicker line to see the perfect round shape.
Cutting away some of the paper.
Glued to the aluminum.
Now im going to etch the image onto the aluminum because I know this paper isnt going to stay attached.
Quick tip: When doing something like this,... its very important that you make sure the image is straight! If its not the mounting holes wont line up! To make sure its straight,... just us a ruler and line it up with a few points on the image. Choose something on one side and then line up the ruler to that same point on the other side. The ruler should pass through the very center of the image. Try different points to verify.
You see how its dead center.
All etched. You have to make sure you etcher makes through the paper to the aluminum. Would be s@#$%^ to lift the paper and there be no marks:/
Drilled,...
Fresh off the scrollsaw.
Filed and sanded baby!!! SICK!!!!!
Makes me want to kick some vampire arse!!! Hell Blade,...
Going to look crazy cool. OMG its going to be the S@#$.
So if you dont know already. I know some do,... tribal art is what I do. It's where I got my name. I posted some of my work online a long time ago. Some still remember. Tribal art comes very easy to me. I have tons of tribal images I have made through out the years. Anyways,... I have to work tonight,... tomorrow I have off so I'll be in the studio working on this.
