Sculpting Raziel - Soul Reaver, Legacy of Kain (UV Special) - Timelapse Sculpt and Airbrush Demo

Hello old friends,

   Back again with another sculpt!   I took a significant risk doing this, as I need to keep up momentum, and this character is getting old enough to become abit more obscure.   Would be a huge help if some of you fellas could repost this on appropriate Reddit forums, like /r/gaming.  They have this thing over there about self-promotion, so I can't do much, and I don't have time (always sculpting) to maintain their 10% only self-promo quota.  

   Anyways, let me know what you guys think!  Best!- N

Dude, I LOVED this game.  It was such a cool idea with creative concepts (switching back and forth between dimensions) and the character design and music kicked ass.  Raziel was a badass.  Very cool subject and excellent job.  You're very talented. Keep up the good work!

  Thank you, friend!  I will do the best I can with what's available to me, in the rational marketing sort of way :P   

      I just posted below, but wanted to reply to you specifically as well.  

  I got too few views on this video to get a return, but the people that have responded to it absolutely love it (real LoK fans).  So, I WILL make Kain at a future date as well, even though the view count didn't get where I wanted, just for the LoK fans out there that supported the work with their enthusiasm (it is infectious).

Amazing as fuck!   ..i'd almost forgotten how awesome these games were, (..and now wish i could play them) . In other more 'abscure games' I would love to see your take on a Shadow of Colossus sculpt, or Trico (The Last Guardian) ..but im sure you've already got your work cut out for you. Kudos.

  Aye man, thank you.  Have a lot ahead of me.  I want to do these more classic characters, but I am seeing they aren't as popular, i.e. difficulty gaining traction due to their obscurity.  I will make these sorts of things maybe 1 out of every 10 sculpts, just because I want to.  But until the channel is really on firm ground, I will have to watch it!   As much as I love this sculpt and how it looks, it performed the poorest in view count of all my sculpt vids so far.  I just have to remind myself that it isn't because it's bad - it's just because you need to connect with a larger audience - and the only way to do that is by appealing to what matters to them.  So... I guess I will be doing some Marvel and Star Wars characters soon!  :D

Absolutely!!! ..if you were to create a sculpture based on 'Shadow of Colossus'...(like i sugessted), it would only cater to a very select few...and there would possibly be only ONE fan that just goes head-over-heals over it (but presumeably, couldnt afford such a sculpt)  ... if you want to connect with a larger audience, do what is "popular" ...but do something that is popular that you like as well...because if you dont like what you're doing....the results will reflect your feelings towards it. .. that said: The Walking Dead is insanely popular...a bust of ANY of those characters will certainly sell for profit. (a Norman Reedus bust would be something to see for fans)  ..just my opinion though.     you do amazing work, and should definitely be compensated for your time and effort...i suggest that you go for THAT 1st, but also...don't  "sell out" ...get yourself into a comfy place that allows you the freedom to "play"...then, get nostalgic as fuck! ;)    ..& keep at it man, your work is inspiring ....regardless of *trademark*
