The grimnoir of mystical tomes, filled to the brim with knowledge men were not meant to know. Its supposedly made from human skin and can bring the dead back to life. So naturally I had to make myself a couple of book covers. It totally does not have anything to do with an upcoming convention called Regncon and the impartial cosplay competition I will hold there. Its a pun on the state of the weather in west Norway during autumn, essentially a lot of rain. Not that the bad weather is anything out of the usual for us up here. The only difference is the blistering wind that bites into the bones. That being said, wearing a cape and posing against the wind is very fun, especially when its so strong that you can lean against the wind. Anyhow I decided to make a couple of note book covers. Since I had to put the guitar on hold. The current progress includes a lot of paint strokes. basically the solution for my white lines is to glue on a white painted plastic sheet cut to size. I have a brand to build and I will succeed, feel free to help me with that.
The theme of Regncon this year is Cute and Scary, which makes tomes the perfect price. They're kinda low cost, but with the work that goes into them makes the quality and the cost increases. For the face I mixed up a batter of troll dough and brought a wooden tool, in order to mold the face into shape. Once I heat treated it for a bit, with a heat gun I added a layer of liquid latex. (I should really just put them in the oven or something.)Works wonderful, but smells horrible and adds a bit of skin like quality to the surface. Plus it protects somewhat against humidity. Followed by a coat of brown paint. Now I just need a lot of time for the dough to dry and new brushes.
