I love the detailed light-colored on in the middle! You must have worked so hard on these. AMAZING WORK!

Those are AWESOME! How did you make yours? I only used card bored, did you use paper mache?

zerotimberwolf on November 15, 2009, 9:13:08 AM

I made a replica of Zabuza Mumochi's sword from Naruto, I was him for Halloween! :D

Rhain on July 17, 2008, 9:03:07 AM

Those are completely incredible! ^^

uchihagirl on June 3, 2008, 9:39:44 AM

these are all really amazing

and I already read the ultima instructions but I just wanted to know what program you used to get the pattern and how did you make the others

blind_stranger on June 3, 2008, 11:22:15 AM

Thank you for that compliment. ^_______^

I used Corel Photopaint 9, but don't think the techniques I used were unique to it. Just a line-tool, floating objects aka layers, and a digital image resizing feature that uses inches. (Don't resize the width, just proportionately resize the whole image based on the length from tip to tip--------it is therefore important that the image be oriented at 90-degrees vertical before you resize it)

Good lengths for just about any of the keyblades are upwards of 36 inches. The Oblivion I made is 32 inches, and it's a bit small... I think the Ultima and Way to the Dawn I made are even upwards of 45''. I don't remember exactly.

But, Ultima was actually the only one I used the line-tool for, since it is composed of layers. For the others, I just printed out the giant picture as it was and built on that with paper-mache, adding the details by hand according to regular, small reference pictures.

u kant kick anyones butt bcuz the first one is made of cardboard!!!!! look at the end of it!!!!! the jaggedy part!!!!!!

blind_stranger on May 31, 2008, 12:05:46 PM

Don't tell me you've never had a papercut from cardboard? lol

Finished, they are almost as hard as wood and weigh as much as real, steel swords. (2-3lbs) Thus, hard to weild one-handed, but sooooo worth it. XD

I'm glad you asked. :)

[url="http://making-ultima.blogspot.com/"]The Making of Ultima Weapon[/url] I made this site a long time ago, when I first started making Ultima here. Yes, this keyblade here is the same one as in ALL of those photographs!

Have fun. ;-)

PS: This is my other site, in case there are other things anyone else would like to know how to make. [url="http://nobodysbuddy.blogspot.com/]NobodysBuddy[/url]

Ah, I see... *sees that fanart-central is just being a wrong end of a frog and manipulating the urls on purpose, like so many other sites do nowdays....* *stare*

The urls by themselves are: making-ultima.blogspot.com and nobodysbuddy.blogspot.com

Sorry about that. ^__x

Did you make these? Because if so, they are wicked awesome!

blind_stranger on February 3, 2008, 5:15:21 AM

I wouldn't dare post them if I didn't. But, Oblivion thar is actually a re-post, because I made it 4 years ago and posted some pics way back that long ago. It's my #1-top submission so far, according to Fanart-Central's ranking system. Although, those pics were before it got a brand pank'n new paint job. :)

hobbit on February 5, 2008, 7:24:34 AM

Well, I commend your talent. All I can make myself is little rag dolls

ageshero on January 23, 2008, 5:02:14 PM

rad, and rader depending on their durability, i like the last on the far right

blind_stranger on January 23, 2008, 5:44:39 PM

Well, the black one you like is made of paper-mache, but it's exactly the same weight as my bokken, which is solid wood...
And the gold one on the left is a mixture of paper-mache-like substances, but weighs about as much as a real shinken I once handled... ("shinken" is Japanese, literally meaning "real sword"!!)
And they're all strong enough to support themselves when you swing em real fast. (Though, probably wouldn't survive much of an impact.)

...Did I mention that they're almost waterproof? =D

ageshero on January 23, 2008, 5:03:26 PM

and the black one. , i have no idea what use an ....unsharpend rod that looks like a key would bring but ehy, its cool

blind_stranger on January 23, 2008, 5:16:20 PM

Dude, have you even heard of Kingdom Hearts? 0.o
(...aka "KH")

You hit and break things with them of course! ^______^
