It's warming my heart to see people still remembering this legendary series, especially such talented people. Raziel has been my favourite game character for decades now, and this bust is marvelous, straight up marvelous. I love the idea of his duality with normal and utlra-violet lighting. Bless your soul, LoreCraft, so it doesn't get caught by The Elder God.
"What madness is this? What pitiful form is this that I've come to inhabit?" Man I still get chills from all of that beautiful voice acting, they did an amazing job and I wish we'd get another one or at least a remake.
"I tried to capture this caracter with the paintjob as best as I could". Man, that decision of using luminiscent paint was genius! He's a wraith and boy that was smart, turn the black light on and the wraith comes out! Thank you for this.
Not possible. Modern gaming is immature and only focused on what sells. That is why I wish for them to never again touch the Legacy of Kain world. It is.. Pure, for now, even though they've made efforts to ruin it..
@@SuperGamefreak18 Although, to be fair, despite his looks Raziel turned out to be one heck of a protagonist in no less than three outstanding games. With that in mind, mangled or not, allowing for a remake might be worth while. Naturally, getting some of the old crew mixed with some serious fans of the games to work on it might produce the best end results. Equally obvious is to stay away from greedy and abusive companies like EA, Bethesda and the likes. Personally, I'd love to see these games remade and resurfaced.
As a gigantic fan of the series and Raziel being my favorite character of all time: this is the greatest sculpt of him I’ve ever seen. You definitely managed to capture every detail of him and I’m in love with this!! I’m shocked this doesn’t have more views because I would LOVE to see your sculpt of Kain!!
Hey man, thank you for such a thoughtful reply. I'd still like to make him someday. Just need either a big windfall or lots of community support to do the sculpt.
Man, thank you for this amazing sculpture! 🙏🏼❤️ It’s good to know that there’s still fans of “The Legacy of Kain” saga, because “as long as a single one of us stands, we are legion!”
Just look at the amazing detail that went into his face, just to cover it. Insane stuff. Pity you couldn’t reach the 500k. Us fans are still out there, that’s for sure.
This is amazing. Yes there is still some Legacy of Kain fans out there. If any series deserves a remake it's LoK. The closest thing we got to a new game was Nosgoth and that got shut down before it could even find a player base.
Please make Kain!!! You did a fantastic job on Raziel! I’m a huge fan of the Legacy Of Kain series, and I personally think they were probably the best video games ever made.
I've submitted to the will of the community. I will make Kain! Just give me some time though, lots to still before i get to him, so stick around! Other good sculpts on the way.
"tumbling... burning with white - hot fire ....i plunged into the depths of the abyss.... unspeakable pain, relentless agony...time ceased to exist..."
I've loved this series for more than twenty years. If anything is deserving of atleast an HD remake it's this series. Your work is awesome. Nice to know I'm not the only fan with fond memories of Nosgoth.
My husband's nickname is Raziel after this character =) I'm currently drawing the character for him and your video was very helpful to understand the character more ! I feel my drawing is ugly now though xP Your using of UV colors is genius =)
I actually cried at the sight of the finished product 😢 Raziel is by far one of my favorite characters in the history of my gaming journey. The LoK series as a whole meant so much to me (still holds a place in my heart)….. U are a genius in ur field, Sir…. It was my pleasure viewing this - thank you for sharing 💯🙏🏾☺️👏🏾👏🏾
The clans tell tales of kain deified but few know the real truth.😋 That monologue and that soundtrack at the start of soul reaver still gives me chills watching it today i still play it atleast once every 2 years the whole series just for nostalgia.
"Do you not feel with all your soul how we have become like gods? As such, are we not indivisible? As long as a single one of us stands, we are legion"
Thats some serious talent, my dude. He looks amazing and yea, plenty of fans out there. Great story, great game play. I tend to gravitate towards Kains story, as well as his character. Side note, the voice actor of Kain has been in Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, and Dragon Age. Im kind of fan. Good stuff, well done. Awesome talent.
I'm a huge LOK fan, just played the whole series through again from beginning to end. Petty amazed that this showed up in my recommended tbh. Amazing job on the Raziel, this is incredible!
After the great response from LoK fans like yourself, I've abandoned my requirement to make Kain and have decided to do it anyways! It will be a while though... Have a lot to do first.
Yes! Yes! Yes!!! Thank you! It is awsome! Love it a lot! It's just a very and very good job! And I love this game (gameplay, story, atmosphere, voices, music, characters, locations)!!! Everything is just great! And you sculpture is VERY GOOD!!!
Idk who you are but I saw this in my recommendations and saw it was barely uploaded and had to see it since it’s LOK I was like whaaaat!? A fellow fan? Still alive!? And subscribed. And liked. :D awesome.
Thanks, friend! More on the way! Will do Kain at some point, but may be a while. New sculpt up soon! Also, there's a petition and contact details in my description. Give them a shout and tell them you want the game remade/rebooted/remastered. Wouldn't hurt to send them my video either ;)
I was wondering how vids end up in the recommended section... my previous 2 videos did extremely well, and I checked the analytics and it showed that the majority of views came from "recommended"/"suggested" videos, whereas this one is only at 10% for that... which is likely why the viewcount is so low in comparison to Freddy and Pennywise. RUclips must have an algorithm I'm unaware of - but I am glad it appeared in you rec section. Gotta figure out how to get it categorized that way.
Yesterday I thought: Maybe I need Raziel as a figure and will print him with my 3D Printer, but the version you made is way cooler and I can see that you really enjoyed the work, which can be traced back to the games and you enjoying those as well :D Keep up the good work! I would have added nightglow as well xD
The LOK series is epic! Check it out and you did it such justice. It's hard to capture the feel of the game but I believe you have done it! I would love to see a human Raziel, he has such a majesty.
@@Iamthenoi I got stuck lol I think it's right after you get the axe if I remember correctly? I'm surrounded and no more hearts of darkness and low health. These hard to fight enemies got me trapped lol
@@lucid3944 definitely worth giving it another go. Fairly early on in SR1 it's really easy to have no idea where to go - enemies and any dialogue is a good clue. Abuse the weapons you can pick up in the early game as the combat (esp in 2020) is going to be dated AF. SR2 is much better, and Defiance better again. if you opt to watch rather than play i recommend TheElectronicBasement (TEB) playthrus as they get all the context and gloomy atmosphere from the environments leading up to the cutscenes. SR2 is where the story really starts fitting together
I found the details for Crystal Dynamics contact info. You guys can send them a message, ask them to make more LoK games! And please feel free to link them my video too! Would love it if they put it up on their twitter feed. Here's the contact link: crystald.com// - the bottom right has "contact us". If you want more LoK games, go ask them! Show them that we want more! And tell them what we want! Hire back Simon Templeman and Michael Bell (voices actors for Kain and Raziel).
Isn't LoK owned by Square Enix these days though? Crystal Dynamics developed LoK, yes, but it was Eidos Interactive (now absorbed by Square Enix) who were the publishers, so I believe they own the rights for LoK.
I've never clicked on a RUclips recommendation faster in my life. RUclips got it right too. Liked, fav'd, subbed. Raziel is still, to this day, my favorite character design-wise. Thanks a lot, also, I'd definitely buy this.
It's better if they didn't. I highly doubt they would have captured the original brilliance, sophisticated, theatrical dialogue, amazing voice acting and captivating story, all at once. I saw footage (probably most fans did) of unreleased Dead Sun - it would be an abomination and an affront to the legacy of those titles (flashing tits, f... bombs every few lines - so modern gaming).
Not to mention Voice actor for Elder god died (ah that Tony Jay voice). Also writing for this series is just like out of XV- XVI centry (in a good way). The way characters speak and act is like from old fable rather that something that is made today. May be if we would rewind time and got 3 milion copies of this game... may be we would get that last one and finish that story. The best way for it to work it should be rebooted completly. With good writing team and of corse CONSISTANT GAME PLAY. Preaty much just make it something akin to Devil may cry with some Zelda system, to reflect series as a whole. But looking at how Square Enix made Final Fantasy 7 reboot with all this padding.... I hope they just give rights to someone who cares about the series and just SE will let them do what they want instead of going with EA "we need to include more demographic to this game" devs "what casual, pro, homosexcuals, feminist..." EA "All of them"
@Murtons Well, in overall, you're right. I was referring to bad modern gaming. This Dead Sun I mentioned, while had quite interesting concept, it was poor when compared to original. I also do agree that this series needs a remake, a fully fledged one, with preferably all original cast onboard (without Tony Jay unfortunately). I highly doubt anyone else than Michael Bell or Simon Templeman would have captured the essence of their respective characters. But I have some doubts if it would be profitable enough to gain enough money to get the final we were always waiting for. Properly made it would definitely bring fans onboard. But with appropriate marketing, who knows... Sadly, I guess, we'll never know.
It's time I sell this sculpture of Raziel. He is one of a kind, 1 of 1. I am needing to clear out my older air dry clay sculptures, so please email me at n.brown@lore-craft.com with fair offers. He's fragile and needs shipping insurance. Hope someone out there wants him and will give him a good home - N Update: The one and only original sculpture of this character, shown in the video, sold after 2 years of sitting in the garage. Oddly enough, I've received several requests for him since, and I am puzzled as to why they all came at the same time, but I had nothing for 2 years.... If enough people are keen to own one, I am capable of making a new, improved version of this character in platinum silicone, but it would be vastly more expensive and a difficult project - hard to justify doing again unless I had several people on board to buy one. If anyone is that serious about it, please email me and I can compile a list, and you can essentially crowd fund a recreation of this character in platsil gel 10, and the UV effect intact (with better hair this time too). There's also a Kain crowd funding pool on my website if anyone wants to get in on that (I bought his eyes, but you fellas need to chip in for the rest). Cheers guys, and thanks for all the recent interest in this video.
Why did YT recommended this to me only now? Amazing job! Truly trapped the essence of Raziel there... One thing missing would be a button which, upon pressing, would make Raziel say "I would choose oblivion over this existence!"
Man! You have no idea how much this made my day! Scrolling through construction videos and stumbled upon this! I am HUGE Soul Reaver fan and still play it every year or so. You are gifted and glad I came across you’re channel! Outstanding work on raziel and love how he looks different like in the spectral realm. Keep it up!
Thank you! Glad some of you guys like it. Was hoping I'd get a lot more views! I WANT to make Kain too, and Vorador, but I can't survive without getting expenses covered by the youtube revenues - need hundreds of thousands of views to get back what I put in on these. It forces me to do less of what I really WANT to do (of course I never do something I DON'T want to do at all, but there are things I want to do MORE, like Raziel, so I did!). Feel free to share the video around.
+Zeroes Angelo I hope so too. Please share it around. I did a tweet at Crystal Dynamics yesterday with it, but you know those bigger names get buried with tweets. If enough people retweet it at them, maybe they'll notice. We can always hope. They need to see there's still a viable fan base. This was my contribution to that cause.
I’m not one given to obsess over video games, but the opening dialogue to Soul Reaver 2 instantly enthralled me. So much so that I ended up naming an eight week old little black kitten that quite abruptly came into my life Raziel. He very nearly became Merlin but at the last, in a moment of inspiration it suddenly seemed divinely appropriate that he be named Raziel. That was over sixteen years ago, Raziel is now blind and diabetic and it’s tough to realize that I love this little cat as much as I’ve ever loved anything.
i hope one day i will be able to do that bc it takes more then power of will in terms of materialistic side but i am sure the wish is not enought i will work hard as i always do in order to not only provide help to my family but finally support ma wild imagination that is forcing it's way through, this is so incouraging for young begginer like me thanks
Absolutely adored this game when I was younger, I remember having a strong dislike for Kain for like 90% of the game lol, it's amazing to see Raziel getting some more love, i bet he'd look fantastic in some of your more up to date supplies and the like as well 😊
@Sunny_Frost aye! I'd love to revisit some of these characters I did back then. I've seriously upgraded materials and techniques. I've got Tar Man coming in the next couple days and I created a new teeth making technique that makes it possible to do Raziel even better.
Hello there lore craft I have been watching your videos for long time now and I can honestly say one of best I ever seen on youtube and I think you are master of creator and love watching your amazing skill of making those characters come to live and I remember opening sequence of legacy of kain soul reaver and it is still one my personal top ten games back in the day and seeing end product brilliant 😊
Thank you for reaching out and letting me know your thoughts. I appreciate reading the more thoughtful comments, and yours definitely qualifies. Best to you
This is just stunning. You absolutely nailed Raziel. Been a longtime fan, with Soul Reaver being my favorite of the series in both story and character. Please keep up the magnificent work and hope to possibly see another LoK character!
Raziel forever ! He looks great man . I felt like the game was never completed cause in blood omen Kain fights an older version of himself without the reaver blade and in soul reaver raziel is seen in a future scene with a red spirit blade known as the Kain blade so Kain and raziel eventually become one . Well I just thought that fans would like to know this truth also I heard yanos would have made a return as well but so many things happened that the story was just left unfinished.
They can finish it if they want to - but I think it's so far in the past that the whole series should be rebooted - but they should rehire Simon Templeman, Michael Bell, and Rene Aberjonois. Unfortunately the other key characters have left us.... but those 2 are still healthy and active. I tweeted the pics and video link to crystal dynamics the other day, so feel free to retweet it at them. Probably the only way to get their attention. I was really hoping the video would perform better, as that would be a good advertisement for them to encourage remaking the series... seems too few are familiar with the game now, but I am pleased to see those of you (like yourself) are really enthusiastic. Made it worth it. That and this statue looks absolutely incredible in person.
When has the young kain ever met the older kain that has never happen maybe in the dark prophecy that was a possibility to have happen the concept art hints at that but that game was cancelled and in the games actually released that has never happen i'm sorry man but your miss remembering alot of things
LoreCraft well just to let you know square enix currently owns the rights to the legacy of kain series they bought edios 2009 and that same year they started development on a new legacy of kain game witch would be called legacy of kain dead sun with a single player mode and an online multiplayer mode you could actually find a 32 min demo on youtube of it it was going to be on ps3 ps4 windows and the xbox360 but it was cancelled in 2012 but the multiplayer mode survived and be came its own game called nosgoth it was a free to play game 4v4 it had an open beta from 2015 to 2016 witch i played it was an ok game so thats where we stand right now but there are still some fan games in development that look really good i highly recommend you look up soul reverent a fan made soul reaver remake currently in the works and it looks amazing and as far as i could see it's the closes thing we got at the moment for a new legacy of kain game and some of their 3d models should help you with your kain sculpture
In blood omen Kain gets to mobieous new time line near the end of the game then he fights warriors from different time periods and then mobieous says something like and times yet to come and there is a vampire that looks exactly like Kain that you fight against so I figured this was a future Kain from a different time line . I thought maybe since raziel had the Kain reaver at the last vision in the time chamber then somehow kain and raziel had become one ... And that's the story that remained untold .how did I come to this conclusion I just finished replaying the legacy of Kain series and blood omen was last so my memory is fresh on this one . But you are free to believe whatever you want. I wasn't trying to troll you man I was basing it on what I noticed and what many had forgotten .but don't take my word for it go re-explore nosgoth and find out for your self maybe you find something I haven't found . Have fun man☺
O O !!!!!!! OOOOOOMMMMFFFFFFF G ! WICKED !!! You have done a wicked job, if I was a rich fool I'd be harassing you to buy it from you =] Raziel is one of my youth's favorite all time. You are right, the game and story was quite nice, maybe overrated a bit for our time (some might say but not me) but you have revived the sweet memories like a dormant phoenix inside. Thank you very much for sharing and again, good job, you have done a superb work. XD
I am an aspiring artist. I have recently begun taking college classes, and I intended to go into animation. However, this video alone has convinced me to rethink that and consider sculpture. Legacy of Kain has always been a huge influence and inspiration on my creative style, and this video was incredible. Subscribed, liked, and I love you man! Not only happy to see another artist, but happy as hell to know Legacy of Kain fans are still passionate and active out there!
Please! For god sakes, you must do Kain as well! I found this by pure accident last week and have no idea how I got by without it now. Kain would truly be amazing to see, highly hope you do it. Not gonna lie, one of the Ninja turtles would be truly wonderful as well. Not a scary face, no, but certainly unique in terms of sculptury
KAIN UPDATE: Some sculpture targets I'd like to do, and some of you would like me to do, are very expensive to create, but not "trendy" enough to pay for their creation from adsense alone (it could cost upwards of a thousand to make one, and the Raziel video hasn't even generated 200$). To that end, for those that REALLY want to see Kain be sculpted, you can contribute to the crowd funded Money Pool to fund the cost of his creation: paypal.me/pools/c/8a5SB1jXRa I really want to make him, but I am now trying to use the best materials available (platinum silicone, etc). If you guys like the work, feel free to chip in. Once it's funded, I'll get on it. Top contributors will get a shoutout in the video (if we get there). Also, I have Patreon, which helps with operating costs, for anyone wanting to help out in a more consistent sense. I am all alone doing this in my apartment, my operating costs are enormous, and I could do a lot more with more patronage on Patreon. If I could hire out help with the video edits, for example, or even get an assistant, I could double my output. Patreon: www.patreon.com/LoreCrafter
I'm a huge fan of LOK, but especially Soul Rever! The fact that you covered the material and spectral plane was very cool. For bringing my favorite video game character to life, you earned a subscriber!
This is incredible!! The LoK games mean so much to me and it is just AMAZING to see other fans creating such beautiful, inspired tributes to the series. I'm astounded by your talent, patience and dedication. YOU ARE WORTHY.
Another spot on sculpt! I am amazed that you were able to paint lit with just UV. Whenever I draw, I usually have two fluorescent lights and a magnifying glass. By the way, how long does it take for your sculpts to dry before you can paint them?
The drying stage is what takes the most time, unfortunately. Days, sometimes 5 days or even longer, depending on size and thickness. It really slows everything down. But the painting i dry rapid with the blow dryer :D and thanks for the kind words!
This is absolutely awesome!! And not to be THAT guy...but the only thing I have to say that isn't praise, is the hair was styled different? Even w that said this is beautiful! 😅
Great work! I loved watching it shape up into Raziel. In general the LoK franchise has one of the best written dialogue in any franchise I've ever played. Simon Templeman, Tony Jay, Michael Bell gave performances that should honestly be the envy of any franchise out there, video game or otherwise.
God, while doing my yearly run through with the series I came across this. As someone who grew up in the PS1 era I am so thrilled to see this! Legacy of Kain will always be my favorite game series, going back to the Blood Omen days all the way to the end with Defiance. You definitely did an awesome job
The only one I can think of realistically doing, off the top of my head, is Goro - but he needs a full body sculpt to make any sense of it (with the 4 arms), and that would be a gigantic undertaking. Maybe someday! If there's another MK character that you can think of that's creature-like, let me know. I'm not really keen on doing characters that I could simply buy a halloween mask for. Maybe Reptile in his reptilian form, but can't think of any others.
I was just shown this by a friend and I love it. Amazing work!!! This has been one of my favorite characters created and now watching this bust created is just marvelous. Again, amazing job
Yo should put more wear into the hair cause he is a corpse you know... that's the only thing I don't like put a wig that is more torn apart , more zombi like
yeah, the hair thing is an issue I am having, but mainly because of costs. I would use real human hair on everything if I could afford it. Unfortunately these synthetic wigs are very unruly and won't obey even hair products and waxes... the good news is, the wig is removable, so if someone wants to own it someday, they can do their own hairpiece if they like. Barring that, when the channel gets better developed and I get a good return from views and Patreon to reinvest (or if I get commissioned) I can order in better hair pieces. I'm not sure many people know I do most of this out of my one bedroom apartment. I want nothing more than to get my own workshop and address everyone's criticisms (that I often share myself).
@@LoreCraft At least he still *has* hair, which is impressive at his age. I'm not even 50 yet and my hair is thinning out on top. If the timeline is correct (which may be questionable with all the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff that goes on in Soul Reaver), he was around a thousand years old before Kain even has him thrown into the Abyss, where he spent a few more centuries. And even though Raziel complains a lot about his current status as a soul-devouring wraith, he's overlooking at least one major benefit: He can eat all he wants, and never gain any weight. Do you know how much people would pay to be able to do that? Souls: Less filling, tastes great. ;-D
Hello, I really love your work and as a great LoK fan I specially love this one for obvious reasons. You really gave him justice and he looks absolutely amazing. I allowed myself to give you a shout on my LoK fangroup on Deviant Art, so maybe that will help to bring some traffic to your channel and more votes for Kain and co. I invite you to check us out: lokclan.deviantart.com/. We have some really talented artists over there who keep our community alive, and maybe this might give you some inspiration too. :) I am always really happy to see that this series still has so much dedicated fans. :) Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much, Herisheft! I am over there on Deviant art too lorecraftr.deviantart.com/ I'll check your page. I will do Kain at some point, for sure. Just have a big backlog of other sculpts to get to first. It will happen when I have a lull and have a good spot for it. Thanks for the encouragement!
Incredible. You are worthy. Legacy of Kain deserves at least one more game to finish off from where it left off. The series is still one of the greatest ever.
This was marvelous man. And yeah I totally hear you on how great those games were. The story deserves to be transcribed to novels. That voice acting was unparalleled at the time. Well done!
There's one thing I love about the game itself. The being that spared Raziel from total disillusion, the voice actor in question did narration in a cartoon I watched as a kid called Skeleton Warriors. I do know the voice actor is also in Blood Omen as I've recently started a play through video on RUclips. I am less impressed with the gameplay but the voice acting is quite amazing and besides, Raziel himself is quite the story teller and I love this line "Death would be a release, next to this travesty"! So much emotion, so much drama. I confess I didn't proceed far enough but I enjoyed the dialogue up to that point and the main theme is absolutely GLORIOUS!:D Thx for the video display of your work, it was a jaw dropping experience!}:[

Raziel hasn't quite been around "for decades " just yet.

Kain is king but raziel kicks butt too

Tell me about it lol
Even Raziel is astonished, just look at his jaw drop!
hahahahahahah!!!!
😂
Raz spent most of his adventure in a timeless purgatory, so technically this joke was too-soon XD

This popped in my feed after YEARS of searching for this channel! I’m still in awe of your craftsmanship!❤

@@LoreCraft Blame it on the algorithm lol I subscribed asap so I can keep up with your latest work! I can’t wait to seem what you do next!
Those who did not play Soul Reaver would never know how much we love Raziel.
Well done, LoreCraft, and thank you.
"I tried to capture this caracter with the paintjob as best as I could". Man, that decision of using luminiscent paint was genius! He's a wraith and boy that was smart, turn the black light on and the wraith comes out! Thank you for this.
Thank you for sharing that. Made my evening +1. Happy St Patrick's day, friend!
The descent had destroy me... and yet my hair looks incredible
LoL :D
One thing that couldn't be destoyed
Agreed more Legacy of Kain games should be done to the same quality of the old, with huge focus on story telling and the characters.
@ChillLetsPlays Then find someone whos at least good enough or better.
Not possible. Modern gaming is immature and only focused on what sells.
That is why I wish for them to never again touch the Legacy of Kain world. It is.. Pure, for now, even though they've made efforts to ruin it..
@@Zeithri agreed better for this franchise to lie in peace rather than become a horribly mangled figure like what happened to raziel
@@SuperGamefreak18 Although, to be fair, despite his looks Raziel turned out to be one heck of a protagonist in no less than three outstanding games. With that in mind, mangled or not, allowing for a remake might be worth while.

Equally obvious is to stay away from greedy and abusive companies like EA, Bethesda and the likes. Personally, I'd love to see these games remade and resurfaced.
@ChillLetsPlays I honestly believe Sam A. Mowry (AKA Alexander from Amnesia) will fit well in the role of the Elder God.
It's my favorite series of all time. Since I was eleven years old. Dude, you just made me drop a tear. You're extremely talented!
Check out this Soul Reaver build:

i subscribed this is awsome but do..zephon i think was the spider brother who laid eggs
any of his bretheren would be interesting
like Turel... and Rahab...
which Kain? young or ancient Kain?
This is probably one of the only times that I've been excited about some random recommendation from RUclips. Cheers, this is amazing!
Julian W thanks for telling me. I'll keep on it as long as you guys keep backing me, for as long as I can.
Same here. This is the first video of yours I've seen and I love both sculpting and Soul Reaver, so you earned yourself a sub. :)
Raziel: "You're a righteous, fiend, aren't you?"
Raziel (also): "Apparently, I am."
Always loved those lines.
Yeah it was such a great roast to his former self but he also said it in such confidence that he delivered it with a 10/10
Man, thank you for this amazing sculpture! 🙏🏼❤️
It’s good to know that there’s still fans of “The Legacy of Kain” saga, because “as long as a single one of us stands, we are legion!”
Just look at the amazing detail that went into his face, just to cover it.
Insane stuff. Pity you couldn’t reach the 500k.
Us fans are still out there, that’s for sure.
This is amazing. Yes there is still some Legacy of Kain fans out there. If any series deserves a remake it's LoK. The closest thing we got to a new game was Nosgoth and that got shut down before it could even find a player base.
I don't think multiplayer is the way to go for LoK, anyway. It was primarily a story-driven game.
Yeah, tbh that was a pretty cut-and-paste TPS. I was expecting more from Square Enix.
Please make Kain!!! You did a fantastic job on Raziel! I’m a huge fan of the Legacy Of Kain series, and I personally think they were probably the best video games ever made.
I've submitted to the will of the community. I will make Kain! Just give me some time though, lots to still before i get to him, so stick around! Other good sculpts on the way.
Rheannon English I agree the legacy of kain series in my opinion was ahead there time it's sad to see games like them fade away slowly.
Raziel: "I AM DESTROYED!"
Elder God: "YOU ARE REBORN!"
I know you Raziel you are worthy!
If you can't tell, I'm a HUGE LoK fan... and you have done a major justice to Raziel. Props to you, sir.
"tumbling... burning with white - hot fire ....i plunged into the depths of the abyss.... unspeakable pain, relentless agony...time ceased to exist..."
LoreCraft, You are Worthy!
Nicolás Riveros hohoho
Nicolás Riveros the worthyest of the worthyest

Time traveling vampire, soul sucking wraiths, and an elder god what insanity this series was
"An eternity passed and my torment receded, bringing me back from the precipice of madness.The descent had destroyed me and yet.....I lived"
+Ohem1 awesome. Just awesome.
Elder god: ' you did not survive the abyss, Raziel. I only spared you from total dissolution!'
Dhaos620 Preferiria el olvido a esta existencia...
Dhaos620 he was Lying. Raziel is the vampire jesus.
Have my like, sir.
I've loved this series for more than twenty years. If anything is deserving of atleast an HD remake it's this series. Your work is awesome. Nice to know I'm not the only fan with fond memories of Nosgoth.
My husband's nickname is Raziel after this character =) I'm currently drawing the character for him and your video was very helpful to understand the character more ! I feel my drawing is ugly now though xP Your using of UV colors is genius =)
If you want to understand the character, you really should watch the cutscenes strung together like a movie.
I played this game on dreamcast. Legacy of Kain: Soulreaver was one of the best games I have ever played. Great story line!
Love the game and you bought him to life! Someone needs to hire you for movie work asap....come on weta ship him onboard!!!!!
HELL YEAH!! Someone needs to convince Crystal Dynamics/ Square Enix to consider making legacy of main movie(s).
agreed !
"life" hahaha :D
Horror freak London FUCK YEAH!!!! I Totally agree if this made the big screen it would be like almost 20 years in the making and a dream come true!!!
They need to revive that game with the newer tech that bust just brought the love of the game back thank you matey beautiful work.
You're most welcome! I enjoy making these sculpts and will continue to make more as long as people keep watching and supporting the work.
Bonekraka I don't know, something tells me they're gonna ruin the fuck out of that game by putting MP mode and microtransactions.
LOL all depends if Nosgoth counts or if EA gets hold of it
We've already been treated to a remake of Oddworld and they're working on one for Medievil so it's definitely a possibility!
I actually cried at the sight of the finished product 😢 Raziel is by far one of my favorite characters in the history of my gaming journey. The LoK series as a whole meant so much to me (still holds a place in my heart)….. U are a genius in ur field, Sir…. It was my pleasure viewing this - thank you for sharing 💯🙏🏾☺️👏🏾👏🏾
Im such a LoK nerd i memorized the opening monologue of Raziel
The clans tell tales of kain deified but few know the real truth.😋 That monologue and that soundtrack at the start of soul reaver still gives me chills watching it today i still play it atleast once every 2 years the whole series just for nostalgia.
Kain is deified.
I remember a lot of the game's dialogue i still play them sometime's too.
"Do you not feel with all your soul how we have become like gods? As such, are we not indivisible? As long as a single one of us stands, we are legion"
Thats some serious talent, my dude. He looks amazing and yea, plenty of fans out there. Great story, great game play. I tend to gravitate towards Kains story, as well as his character. Side note, the voice actor of Kain has been in Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, and Dragon Age. Im kind of fan. Good stuff, well done. Awesome talent.
I kid you not that Simon Templeman (Kain's voice actor) is the one voice I recognized even since childhood, so awesome!
That soundtrack always sends chills down my spine. Man that is good stuff.
I'm a huge LOK fan, just played the whole series through again from beginning to end. Petty amazed that this showed up in my recommended tbh. Amazing job on the Raziel, this is incredible!
......Raziel ....... HE LIVES AGAIN!!!!!
holy shit man...you just brought back some memories, you hit Raziel on the nose , good job , bravo.....do kain next please
After the great response from LoK fans like yourself, I've abandoned my requirement to make Kain and have decided to do it anyways! It will be a while though... Have a lot to do first.
Yes! Yes! Yes!!! Thank you! It is awsome! Love it a lot! It's just a very and very good job! And I love this game (gameplay, story, atmosphere, voices, music, characters, locations)!!! Everything is just great! And you sculpture is VERY GOOD!!!
Idk who you are but I saw this in my recommendations and saw it was barely uploaded and had to see it since it’s LOK I was like whaaaat!? A fellow fan? Still alive!? And subscribed. And liked. :D awesome.
Thanks, friend! More on the way! Will do Kain at some point, but may be a while. New sculpt up soon!
Also, there's a petition and contact details in my description. Give them a shout and tell them you want the game remade/rebooted/remastered. Wouldn't hurt to send them my video either ;)
This series is the greatest. Thank you for creating this! He's my fav.
Raziel might be the most Jaw-dropping character in video game history, espescially during original Playstation era
Kain!!!!
KAIN!!!
Dude I nearly shat myself when I saw this in my recommended. Amazing job!
I was wondering how vids end up in the recommended section... my previous 2 videos did extremely well, and I checked the analytics and it showed that the majority of views came from "recommended"/"suggested" videos, whereas this one is only at 10% for that... which is likely why the viewcount is so low in comparison to Freddy and Pennywise. RUclips must have an algorithm I'm unaware of - but I am glad it appeared in you rec section. Gotta figure out how to get it categorized that way.
Yesterday I thought: Maybe I need Raziel as a figure and will print him with my 3D Printer, but the version you made is way cooler and I can see that you really enjoyed the work, which can be traced back to the games and you enjoying those as well :D Keep up the good work! I would have added nightglow as well xD
Big time Legacy of Kain & Soul Reaver fan here, and you did an amazing job capturing Raziel. It brings back fond memories of the game.
I cherished this game on the PS1 and to this day it remains one of my fave games ever. You recreated Raziel beautifully
Wow, thank you!
The LOK series is epic! Check it out and you did it such justice. It's hard to capture the feel of the game but I believe you have done it! I would love to see a human Raziel, he has such a majesty.
+TheDarkestShadowMan awesome praise. Thank You! I cannot imagine having done this without the UV paints. It really brought it to life.
I'm actually playing through the series for the first time right now and I'm loving it! Blood omen is done I'm going through soul reaver right now
please tell me you didn't give up! SR1 & 2 are the love of so many of us here
@@Iamthenoi I got stuck lol I think it's right after you get the axe if I remember correctly? I'm surrounded and no more hearts of darkness and low health. These hard to fight enemies got me trapped lol
@@lucid3944 definitely worth giving it another go. Fairly early on in SR1 it's really easy to have no idea where to go - enemies and any dialogue is a good clue. Abuse the weapons you can pick up in the early game as the combat (esp in 2020) is going to be dated AF. SR2 is much better, and Defiance better again. if you opt to watch rather than play i recommend TheElectronicBasement (TEB) playthrus as they get all the context and gloomy atmosphere from the environments leading up to the cutscenes. SR2 is where the story really starts fitting together
I found the details for Crystal Dynamics contact info. You guys can send them a message, ask them to make more LoK games! And please feel free to link them my video too! Would love it if they put it up on their twitter feed. Here's the contact link: crystald.com// - the bottom right has "contact us".
If you want more LoK games, go ask them! Show them that we want more! And tell them what we want! Hire back Simon Templeman and Michael Bell (voices actors for Kain and Raziel).
As a big Legacy of kain fan This was epic and as an amateur sculptor myself this was inspiring to watch thank you!
Thanks, Gwyneth
Isn't LoK owned by Square Enix these days though? Crystal Dynamics developed LoK, yes, but it was Eidos Interactive (now absorbed by Square Enix) who were the publishers, so I believe they own the rights for LoK.
I cried.. great job
LoreCraft yes do kane
Great job on the exposed muscle, it really showed how truly ravaged he was by his "death". It's not something the games showed too well
I've never clicked on a RUclips recommendation faster in my life. RUclips got it right too. Liked, fav'd, subbed. Raziel is still, to this day, my favorite character design-wise. Thanks a lot, also, I'd definitely buy this.
They need to make more games
It's better if they didn't. I highly doubt they would have captured the original brilliance, sophisticated, theatrical dialogue, amazing voice acting and captivating story, all at once. I saw footage (probably most fans did) of unreleased Dead Sun - it would be an abomination and an affront to the legacy of those titles (flashing tits, f... bombs every few lines - so modern gaming).
Not to mention Voice actor for Elder god died (ah that Tony Jay voice). Also writing for this series is just like out of XV- XVI centry (in a good way). The way characters speak and act is like from old fable rather that something that is made today. May be if we would rewind time and got 3 milion copies of this game... may be we would get that last one and finish that story.
The best way for it to work it should be rebooted completly. With good writing team and of corse CONSISTANT GAME PLAY. Preaty much just make it something akin to Devil may cry with some Zelda system, to reflect series as a whole.
But looking at how Square Enix made Final Fantasy 7 reboot with all this padding.... I hope they just give rights to someone who cares about the series and just SE will let them do what they want instead of going with EA "we need to include more demographic to this game" devs "what casual, pro, homosexcuals, feminist..." EA "All of them"
@Murtons Well, in overall, you're right. I was referring to bad modern gaming. This Dead Sun I mentioned, while had quite interesting concept, it was poor when compared to original.
I also do agree that this series needs a remake, a fully fledged one, with preferably all original cast onboard (without Tony Jay unfortunately). I highly doubt anyone else than Michael Bell or Simon Templeman would have captured the essence of their respective characters. But I have some doubts if it would be profitable enough to gain enough money to get the final we were always waiting for. Properly made it would definitely bring fans onboard. But with appropriate marketing, who knows... Sadly, I guess, we'll never know.
It's time I sell this sculpture of Raziel. He is one of a kind, 1 of 1. I am needing to clear out my older air dry clay sculptures, so please email me at n.brown@lore-craft.com with fair offers. He's fragile and needs shipping insurance. Hope someone out there wants him and will give him a good home - N
Update: The one and only original sculpture of this character, shown in the video, sold after 2 years of sitting in the garage. Oddly enough, I've received several requests for him since, and I am puzzled as to why they all came at the same time, but I had nothing for 2 years.... If enough people are keen to own one, I am capable of making a new, improved version of this character in platinum silicone, but it would be vastly more expensive and a difficult project - hard to justify doing again unless I had several people on board to buy one. If anyone is that serious about it, please email me and I can compile a list, and you can essentially crowd fund a recreation of this character in platsil gel 10, and the UV effect intact (with better hair this time too). There's also a Kain crowd funding pool on my website if anyone wants to get in on that (I bought his eyes, but you fellas need to chip in for the rest). Cheers guys, and thanks for all the recent interest in this video.
I wish I could afford him, but sadly I don't make enough to afford these things I can barley buy those pop figures. 😭
I think you did a pretty good job on raziel in soul reaver series🙄💛
It belongs in a museum in honor of the game itself🤔💡
Chantel Fourie , I would like to buy you a pop figure .
When will you do Kain?
Man haven't played that game in a long time. He looks awesome. Super job brother.
+Shawn Lawson thank you, sir!
Why did YT recommended this to me only now? Amazing job! Truly trapped the essence of Raziel there... One thing missing would be a button which, upon pressing, would make Raziel say "I would choose oblivion over this existence!"
Man! You have no idea how much this made my day! Scrolling through construction videos and stumbled upon this! I am HUGE Soul Reaver fan and still play it every year or so. You are gifted and glad I came across you’re channel! Outstanding work on raziel and love how he looks different like in the spectral realm. Keep it up!
I've been a really big fan of this game for years and you my friend did an amazing job with this sculpture of Raziel 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Thank you! Glad some of you guys like it. Was hoping I'd get a lot more views! I WANT to make Kain too, and Vorador, but I can't survive without getting expenses covered by the youtube revenues - need hundreds of thousands of views to get back what I put in on these. It forces me to do less of what I really WANT to do (of course I never do something I DON'T want to do at all, but there are things I want to do MORE, like Raziel, so I did!). Feel free to share the video around.
Haha wow its been a while since i seen something from Soul Reaver! Good'ol Raziel. Awesome job, i do hope sony remasters and revives that series
+Zeroes Angelo I hope so too. Please share it around. I did a tweet at Crystal Dynamics yesterday with it, but you know those bigger names get buried with tweets. If enough people retweet it at them, maybe they'll notice. We can always hope. They need to see there's still a viable fan base. This was my contribution to that cause.
"I know you, Raziel. You are worthy."
I’m not one given to obsess over video games, but the opening dialogue to Soul Reaver 2 instantly enthralled me. So much so that I ended up naming an eight week old little black kitten that quite abruptly came into my life Raziel. He very nearly became Merlin but at the last, in a moment of inspiration it suddenly seemed divinely appropriate that he be named Raziel. That was over sixteen years ago, Raziel is now blind and diabetic and it’s tough to realize that I love this little cat as much as I’ve ever loved anything.
After the announcement I had to come back here, what a great sculpt
this is whole new level of art!it makes me wonna pursue the sculpting art t least to pour m imagination and turn into reality
You nailed it, exactly. It's a powerful feeling, to have an image that exists in your mind, intangible, and then through force of will make it real.
i hope one day i will be able to do that bc it takes more then power of will in terms of materialistic side but i am sure the wish is not enought i will work hard as i always do in order to not only provide help to my family but finally support ma wild imagination that is forcing it's way through, this is so incouraging for young begginer like me thanks
LEGACY OF KAIN!!! WOOO!!!!
PLEASE DO KAIN!!!
You guys convinced me. But it will be a while! Have a lot to do first before I get back to the LoK.
"No hunger or weakness is no bar for vengeance's call, I'll find my slayers and send them BACK whence I came"
'Woe to the Conquered. I have found the Heart of Darkness. Now you go to oblivion!"
Absolutely adored this game when I was younger, I remember having a strong dislike for Kain for like 90% of the game lol, it's amazing to see Raziel getting some more love, i bet he'd look fantastic in some of your more up to date supplies and the like as well 😊
@Sunny_Frost aye! I'd love to revisit some of these characters I did back then. I've seriously upgraded materials and techniques. I've got Tar Man coming in the next couple days and I created a new teeth making technique that makes it possible to do Raziel even better.
I'm a fan of the Legacy Of Kain series. I'm happy to see this forgotten gem get some love in these hard times. Keep up the good work.
Saw the notification and instantly clicked without thinking. 😂😂
Queen Moon Same!
Felix Uribe IKR!
Yeah same, anything soul reaver related i just jump straight in
Upvoted so hard! Almost broken my mouse :)
awesome dude!!!! you taked my heart, what more memorable memories!, that nostalgia!!!
Hello there lore craft I have been watching your videos for long time now and I can honestly say one of best I ever seen on youtube and I think you are master of creator and love watching your amazing skill of making those characters come to live and I remember opening sequence of legacy of kain soul reaver and it is still one my personal top ten games back in the day and seeing end product brilliant 😊
Thank you for reaching out and letting me know your thoughts. I appreciate reading the more thoughtful comments, and yours definitely qualifies. Best to you
LoreCraft thank you very much I can't to see what you do next 😊
Still love voice acting best in the world none has ever come close to this epicness love remix of music so cool
This is just stunning. You absolutely nailed Raziel. Been a longtime fan, with Soul Reaver being my favorite of the series in both story and character.
Please keep up the magnificent work and hope to possibly see another LoK character!
Amazing.Blood Omen and Soul Reaver really deserves a reboot,with the new darker looks like the sculpture you have made.
Raziel forever ! He looks great man . I felt like the game was never completed cause in blood omen Kain fights an older version of himself without the reaver blade and in soul reaver raziel is seen in a future scene with a red spirit blade known as the Kain blade so Kain and raziel eventually become one . Well I just thought that fans would like to know this truth also I heard yanos would have made a return as well but so many things happened that the story was just left unfinished.
They can finish it if they want to - but I think it's so far in the past that the whole series should be rebooted - but they should rehire Simon Templeman, Michael Bell, and Rene Aberjonois. Unfortunately the other key characters have left us.... but those 2 are still healthy and active. I tweeted the pics and video link to crystal dynamics the other day, so feel free to retweet it at them. Probably the only way to get their attention. I was really hoping the video would perform better, as that would be a good advertisement for them to encourage remaking the series... seems too few are familiar with the game now, but I am pleased to see those of you (like yourself) are really enthusiastic. Made it worth it. That and this statue looks absolutely incredible in person.
LoreCraft I bet it does indeed but unfortunately im stuck all the way out here in Los Angeles but from here he really does look incredible.
When has the young kain ever met the older kain that has never happen maybe in the dark prophecy that was a possibility to have happen the concept art hints at that but that game was cancelled and in the games actually released that has never happen i'm sorry man but your miss remembering alot of things
LoreCraft well just to let you know square enix currently owns the rights to the legacy of kain series they bought edios 2009 and that same year they started development on a new legacy of kain game witch would be called legacy of kain dead sun with a single player mode and an online multiplayer mode you could actually find a 32 min demo on youtube of it it was going to be on ps3 ps4 windows and the xbox360 but it was cancelled in 2012 but the multiplayer mode survived and be came its own game called nosgoth it was a free to play game 4v4 it had an open beta from 2015 to 2016 witch i played it was an ok game so thats where we stand right now but there are still some fan games in development that look really good i highly recommend you look up soul reverent a fan made soul reaver remake currently in the works and it looks amazing and as far as i could see it's the closes thing we got at the moment for a new legacy of kain game and some of their 3d models should help you with your kain sculpture
In blood omen Kain gets to mobieous new time line near the end of the game then he fights warriors from different time periods and then mobieous says something like and times yet to come and there is a vampire that looks exactly like Kain that you fight against so I figured this was a future Kain from a different time line . I thought maybe since raziel had the Kain reaver at the last vision in the time chamber then somehow kain and raziel had become one ... And that's the story that remained untold .how did I come to this conclusion I just finished replaying the legacy of Kain series and blood omen was last so my memory is fresh on this one . But you are free to believe whatever you want. I wasn't trying to troll you man I was basing it on what I noticed and what many had forgotten .but don't take my word for it go re-explore nosgoth and find out for your self maybe you find something I haven't found . Have fun man☺
Holy shit love this game / series, love this sculpt amazing job man
+raziel v thanks, friend!
O O !!!!!!! OOOOOOMMMMFFFFFFF G ! WICKED !!! You have done a wicked job, if I was a rich fool I'd be harassing you to buy it from you =] Raziel is one of my youth's favorite all time. You are right, the game and story was quite nice, maybe overrated a bit for our time (some might say but not me) but you have revived the sweet memories like a dormant phoenix inside. Thank you very much for sharing and again, good job, you have done a superb work. XD
excellent! Thank you for saying so.
I am an aspiring artist. I have recently begun taking college classes, and I intended to go into animation. However, this video alone has convinced me to rethink that and consider sculpture. Legacy of Kain has always been a huge influence and inspiration on my creative style, and this video was incredible. Subscribed, liked, and I love you man! Not only happy to see another artist, but happy as hell to know Legacy of Kain fans are still passionate and active out there!
Aaaaand we're back! Amazing sculpture! The coin has finally landed on it's edge, can't wait to play the remasters!!
Please! For god sakes, you must do Kain as well! I found this by pure accident last week and have no idea how I got by without it now. Kain would truly be amazing to see, highly hope you do it. Not gonna lie, one of the Ninja turtles would be truly wonderful as well. Not a scary face, no, but certainly unique in terms of sculptury
+Clayton Furrow help get this video to the 500k mark and you shall see Kain happen! 😄
Amazing work!!! I love Raziel.
+CELIA FERREIRA thank you, Celia
KAIN UPDATE:
Some sculpture targets I'd like to do, and some of you would like me to do, are very expensive to create, but not "trendy" enough to pay for their creation from adsense alone (it could cost upwards of a thousand to make one, and the Raziel video hasn't even generated 200$). To that end, for those that REALLY want to see Kain be sculpted, you can contribute to the crowd funded Money Pool to fund the cost of his creation: paypal.me/pools/c/8a5SB1jXRa
I really want to make him, but I am now trying to use the best materials available (platinum silicone, etc). If you guys like the work, feel free to chip in. Once it's funded, I'll get on it. Top contributors will get a shoutout in the video (if we get there).
Also, I have Patreon, which helps with operating costs, for anyone wanting to help out in a more consistent sense. I am all alone doing this in my apartment, my operating costs are enormous, and I could do a lot more with more patronage on Patreon. If I could hire out help with the video edits, for example, or even get an assistant, I could double my output.
Patreon: www.patreon.com/LoreCrafter
i would literally pay for one of these my self, except not with a wig just clay hair cause holy fuck this is amazing
@@MetalHeadRush666 yes I would buy one as well is he did one with clay hair. This is a beautiful piece of one of my favorite game characters.
Robbie Gable he is well bloody talented!
Man i will chip in, a good one!!. Just keep it up plz
Can't wait for the movie!
Ian Somerhalder ( Damon Salvatore ) as Raziel
Henry Cavil ( Superman ) as older Kain
I'm a huge fan of LOK, but especially Soul Rever! The fact that you covered the material and spectral plane was very cool. For bringing my favorite video game character to life, you earned a subscriber!
This is incredible!! The LoK games mean so much to me and it is just AMAZING to see other fans creating such beautiful, inspired tributes to the series. I'm astounded by your talent, patience and dedication. YOU ARE WORTHY.
Another spot on sculpt! I am amazed that you were able to paint lit with just UV. Whenever I draw, I usually have two fluorescent lights and a magnifying glass. By the way, how long does it take for your sculpts to dry before you can paint them?
The drying stage is what takes the most time, unfortunately. Days, sometimes 5 days or even longer, depending on size and thickness. It really slows everything down. But the painting i dry rapid with the blow dryer :D
and thanks for the kind words!
No problem. And thank you. Both these videos and your sculpts are amazing.
Favorite part of Raziel: Water burned away his entire lower jaw, kept his hair somehow.
This is absolutely awesome!!
And not to be THAT guy...but the only thing I have to say that isn't praise, is the hair was styled different? Even w that said this is beautiful! 😅
Amy Hennig was literally asked this exact question in an interview and she said the reason is because he would like dumb without hair lol
5:19 Raziel....The Karen. Devourer of Managers.
Great work! I loved watching it shape up into Raziel. In general the LoK franchise has one of the best written dialogue in any franchise I've ever played. Simon Templeman, Tony Jay, Michael Bell gave performances that should honestly be the envy of any franchise out there, video game or otherwise.
God, while doing my yearly run through with the series I came across this. As someone who grew up in the PS1 era I am so thrilled to see this! Legacy of Kain will always be my favorite game series, going back to the Blood Omen days all the way to the end with Defiance. You definitely did an awesome job
Do venom of Spider-Man
I might do that sooner or later - definitely have that in mind.
LoreCraft But do the Todd McFarlane design.
I'll make Kain at 500k'
Me finding this years later still only at 300k.
FUCK
Do mortal kombat characters
The only one I can think of realistically doing, off the top of my head, is Goro - but he needs a full body sculpt to make any sense of it (with the 4 arms), and that would be a gigantic undertaking. Maybe someday! If there's another MK character that you can think of that's creature-like, let me know. I'm not really keen on doing characters that I could simply buy a halloween mask for. Maybe Reptile in his reptilian form, but can't think of any others.
LoreCraft Mileena without her mask???
LoreCraft You can do Kintaro, Motaro, Shinnok, Noob Saibot, Drahmin, Molach, Reptile with lizard face, D'Vorah.
Well maybe Melinna with all her theets out
I was just shown this by a friend and I love it. Amazing work!!! This has been one of my favorite characters created and now watching this bust created is just marvelous. Again, amazing job
My hat's off, you have given a powerful flesh reference to a game I'm replaying now. Wonderful work!
Thank you, friend!!
Yo should put more wear into the hair cause he is a corpse you know... that's the only thing I don't like put a wig that is more torn apart , more zombi like
yeah, the hair thing is an issue I am having, but mainly because of costs. I would use real human hair on everything if I could afford it. Unfortunately these synthetic wigs are very unruly and won't obey even hair products and waxes... the good news is, the wig is removable, so if someone wants to own it someday, they can do their own hairpiece if they like. Barring that, when the channel gets better developed and I get a good return from views and Patreon to reinvest (or if I get commissioned) I can order in better hair pieces. I'm not sure many people know I do most of this out of my one bedroom apartment. I want nothing more than to get my own workshop and address everyone's criticisms (that I often share myself).
@@LoreCraft At least he still *has* hair, which is impressive at his age. I'm not even 50 yet and my hair is thinning out on top. If the timeline is correct (which may be questionable with all the wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff that goes on in Soul Reaver), he was around a thousand years old before Kain even has him thrown into the Abyss, where he spent a few more centuries.
And even though Raziel complains a lot about his current status as a soul-devouring wraith, he's overlooking at least one major benefit: He can eat all he wants, and never gain any weight. Do you know how much people would pay to be able to do that? Souls: Less filling, tastes great. ;-D
Do krampus the Christmas demon or one of the ghost busters
Krampus IS planned.... a version of him, thereabouts.... not sure I will have enough time to get to it, but will try.
Ok
You are a good sculpture
What is it made of
it's an air drying, water based ceramic style clay that's nylon reinforced
Hello, I really love your work and as a great LoK fan I specially love this one for obvious reasons. You really gave him justice and he looks absolutely amazing.
I allowed myself to give you a shout on my LoK fangroup on Deviant Art, so maybe that will help to bring some traffic to your channel and more votes for Kain and co. I invite you to check us out: lokclan.deviantart.com/. We have some really talented artists over there who keep our community alive, and maybe this might give you some inspiration too. :) I am always really happy to see that this series still has so much dedicated fans. :) Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much, Herisheft! I am over there on Deviant art too lorecraftr.deviantart.com/
I'll check your page. I will do Kain at some point, for sure. Just have a big backlog of other sculpts to get to first. It will happen when I have a lull and have a good spot for it. Thanks for the encouragement!
You are very welcome :) Added you to my watchlist, and of course can't wait for your next projects and keeping my thumbs for more LoK fast :)
Oh I'm a fan!!! They dont make them like this anymore. Raziel sculpture looks amazing!!!
A sculpt of Kain would be amazing. Can’t have Raziel without Kain
Incredible. You are worthy. Legacy of Kain deserves at least one more game to finish off from where it left off. The series is still one of the greatest ever.
This was marvelous man. And yeah I totally hear you on how great those games were. The story deserves to be transcribed to novels. That voice acting was unparalleled at the time. Well done!
This was amazing! Yes we’re still kicking about. Raziel is my favourite character and I actually think LoK is my favourite ever vampire story...
There's one thing I love about the game itself. The being that spared Raziel from total disillusion, the voice actor in question did narration in a cartoon I watched as a kid called Skeleton Warriors. I do know the voice actor is also in Blood Omen as I've recently started a play through video on RUclips. I am less impressed with the gameplay but the voice acting is quite amazing and besides, Raziel himself is quite the story teller and I love this line "Death would be a release, next to this travesty"! So much emotion, so much drama. I confess I didn't proceed far enough but I enjoyed the dialogue up to that point and the main theme is absolutely GLORIOUS!:D
Thx for the video display of your work, it was a jaw dropping experience!}:[
Great work! Great to see that there still are fans of the series out there, even 15 years later. :)
