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

[@snraijuu]

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.

[@josepheastman8509]

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

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]

@@Zeithri agreed better for this franchise to lie in peace rather than become a horribly mangled figure like what happened to raziel

[@patriksvensson2360]

@@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!!

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.

[@vladsaioc6269]

I don't think multiplayer is the way to go for LoK, anyway. It was primarily a story-driven game.

[@altanic5855]

Yeah, tbh that was a pretty cut-and-paste TPS. I was expecting more from Square Enix.

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 [e-mail] 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.

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.

If you want to understand the character, you really should watch the cutscenes strung together like a movie.

[@LoreCraft]

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

They need to make more games

[@lanjelin]

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).

[@zerlichr426]

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"

[@lanjelin]

@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.

@@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

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.

[@LoreCraft]

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.

[@luizenidog5016]

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.

[@Reacted1991]

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

[@Reacted1991]

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

[@luizenidog5016]

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☺

[@sobreaver]

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

[@LoreCraft]

excellent! Thank you for saying so.

[@clayscustoms2050]

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

[@LoreCraft]

+Clayton Furrow help get this video to the 500k mark and you shall see Kain happen! 😄

[@Outlawsrevenge1020]

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!

[@Exeter002]

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!

[@SamReevesWrites]

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?

[@LoreCraft]

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!

[@SamReevesWrites]

No problem. And thank you. Both these videos and your sculpts are amazing.

[@PWDMaximum]

5:19 Raziel....The Karen. Devourer of Managers.

[@christophersmith8848]

Favorite part of Raziel: Water burned away his entire lower jaw, kept his hair somehow.

[@ridleymcnamara2273]

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! 😅

[@codyvandal2860]

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

[@GamesofMischief]

A sculpt of Kain would be amazing. Can’t have Raziel without Kain

[@bryanmadewell8896]

That is one of the most badass sculptures I have seen. Sir you are a master in my eyes.

[@thatman5484]

I'll make Kain at 500k' Me finding this years later still only at 300k. FUCK

[@TS-dg3bz]

Do venom of Spider-Man

[@LoreCraft]

I might do that sooner or later - definitely have that in mind.

[@venom9709]

LoreCraft But do the Todd McFarlane design.

[@vladimirlara3660]

Do mortal kombat characters

[@LoreCraft]

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.

[@MrDravenLee]

LoreCraft Mileena without her mask???

[@WeedShaggy]

LoreCraft You can do Kintaro, Motaro, Shinnok, Noob Saibot, Drahmin, Molach, Reptile with lizard face, D'Vorah.

[@garciavma1]

Well maybe Melinna with all her theets out

[@muzrik]

Love it, Looks Awesome, Huge Fan love the Legacy of Kain & Raziel he's been my avatar for the best part of 2 decades

[@45whitedragon]

My hat's off, you have given a powerful flesh reference to a game I'm replaying now. Wonderful work!

[@LoreCraft]

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

[@LoreCraft]

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).

[@SpearM3064]

@@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

[@joenuts5504]

Do krampus the Christmas demon or one of the ghost busters

[@LoreCraft]

Krampus IS planned.... a version of him, thereabouts.... not sure I will have enough time to get to it, but will try.

[@joenuts5504]

Ok

[@joenuts5504]

You are a good sculpture

[@joenuts5504]

What is it made of

[@LoreCraft]

it's an air drying, water based ceramic style clay that's nylon reinforced

[@Herisheft]

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.

[@LoreCraft]

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!

[@Herisheft]

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 :)

[@ivanvladimirovic2972]

Amazing.Blood Omen and Soul Reaver really deserves a reboot,with the new darker looks like the sculpture you have made.

[@rogerharvey3835]

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.

[@VladSpatariu]

Great work! Great to see that there still are fans of the series out there, even 15 years later. :)

[@SickMinder]

This is my go-to video whenever I think about a Soul Reaver-remake~

[@AtrocitusRage]

This is amazing! I didn't realize there was so much love out here for this series/character. This is my favorite series and I love seeing others enjoy it.

[@drakematulonis]

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

[@samjudge1240]

I'm a fan myself. Love the the Shakespearean / philosophical delivery of the two main characters.

[@LoreCraft]

Agreed. Brilliant dialogue. Great voice acting.
