Description

I just realized the other day that I never presented my Vincent's gauntlet properly. 8( So um... ta-dah?

It's made in three parts (palm, arm and that... er.. thing that goes over the elbow) using a black leather glove and craft foam. I bent the parts using heat (I get many questions regarding this, so here's a tutorial I used for help: [link] ), glued it together and painted it with gesso and golden and black acrylics. I used some gold-bronze paste to give the shine a bit extra boost, too and finally applied varnish to seal the paint.

Honestly, I can't believe how much I enjoyed making that thing. Sure, it was frustrating from time to time when I didn't quite know what I was doing (it was my first time using craft foam and heat together) , but I think that in the end it turned out just fine. :3 I know it's not perfectly smooth everywhere (especially not under the finger parts), but personally I prefer it this way - I think it gives off a bit more authentic look.
