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

Update:
Really want Kain? I can't afford to build Kain alone - so help me build him! Fund his construction here!: paypal.me/pools/c/8a5SB1jXRa
If all you Raziel fans gave even just 10 cents each, Kain would be fully funded in no time.
Top contributors will get a shoutout in the video if they wish to be acknowledged. Additionally, the contributions made will go forward towards a purchase of a copy of the sculpture for those that would want one (i.e. if you donate 50$, that will apply as 50$ off the purchase of a copy of the sculpture for those that want to own one).

I do all of this alone out of my apartment, so please consider contributing a small amount to help increase output and pay for supplies.
Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement and support - especially to my Patrons! More with that in the future.

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.

@@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.

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.

[@Punishment90]

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.

[@LoreCraft]

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.

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.

[@DrossProwler]

Dude I nearly shat myself when I saw this in my recommended. Amazing job!

[@LoreCraft]

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. KZbin 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.

[@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

[@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.

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 😊

[@LoreCraft]

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

[@42sjamieson]

LoreCraft thank you very much I can't to see what you do next 😊

[@42sjamieson]

Still love voice acting best in the world none has ever come close to this epicness love remix of music so cool

[@razielv5088]

Holy shit love this game / series, love this sculpt amazing job man

[@LoreCraft]

+raziel v thanks, friend!

[@JamesCarmichael]

Imagine you fall asleep at your desk, you wake up in a daze and you are greated with 0:30 Fantastic work. Love the series. Vae Victus!

[@ivanvladimirovic2972]

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

[@lauti101]

Amazing work!!! I love Raziel.

[@LoreCraft]

+CELIA FERREIRA thank you, Celia

[@FunkoFelix]

Dang! That looks super rad!

[@samjudge1240]

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

[@LoreCraft]

Agreed. Brilliant dialogue. Great voice acting.

[@grbartstudios8404]

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

[@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.

[@luizenidog5016]

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☺

[@JoeTAC]

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.

[@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.

[@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! 😄

[@PWDMaximum]

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

[@potatolol4579]

Absolutely amazing stuff man, Soul Reaver 2 was the first ever PS2 game I got back in the day and absolutely loved it. The glow in the dark paints was a perfect idea for this sculpt and even going to the extra effort of sculpting what would probably never be seen behind his robe, 10/10 stuff.

[@jashargubetini2477]

Amazing job, Raziel is one of my favourite characters in video games.

[@LoreCraft]

Thanks, friend. Another Ps1 character is coming soon! Within a week I should have a new video ready

[@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.

[@thecircle8568]

So awesome!!! I hope they make a sandbox soup reaver someday

[@LoreCraft]

That would be incredible! I want a Kain game where it's open world like the Witcher 3. They could remake Blood Omen just like that, exploring the world, side quests, etc. Incredible idea. They could get into the back story of how and why Kain created Raziel - a whole twisted plot. And I want Vorador to have more of a role too. So much can be done with this.

[@digitaIgorilla]

I am Raziel, first-born of Kain's lieutenants. I stood with Kain and my brethren at the dawn of the empire. I have served him a millennium. Over time, we became less human and more, divine. Kain would enter the state of change and emerge with a new gift. Some years after the master, our evolution would follow. Until I had the honor of surpassing my Lord. For my transgression, I earned a new kind of reward... Cream of Tomato.

[@truehare]

Open world, yes, by all means. It would be fantastic to freely explore Nosgoth, as long as they keep the fantastic story and characters coming. Just... NOT sandbox. That would be a huge mistake. We don't need a "Soul Reaver's Creed", or a "Far Omen" or anything like that. :)

[@LoreCraft]

+Ian Lynch how did you know I've been eating cream of tomato soup a lot lately?

[@LoreCraft]

+How to make Pizza at home tweet my video at them at square Enix and Crystal Dynamics. Get their attention! We need these games remade

[@90kuky]

This video was reason I found you and I instantly subscribed to you. Oh memories.

[@LoreCraft]

Thank you, friend!

[@sneke989]

Bravo sir, bravo. That is simply amazing. You had me traveling back to my childhood with that sculpture. Kudos. 😎👍

[@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

[@FunkoFelix]

I know this video can get 500,000 views! So come on guys, JUST DO IT!

[@Indigocell]

He said 500,000. That seems like an extremely high threshold for an old game like this. Too bad, I want to see him sculpt Kain.

[@FunkoFelix]

Indigocell wow I misheard! Thank you for correcting me!

[@Shakhmatov_GAMES]

That's genius! I love your design :) We all still remember and miss Raziel and the legacy of Kain series.

[@VladSpatariu]

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

[@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

[@nordinreecendo512]

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!

[@TheVenrex]

Dope! I really love how much effort and planning you put into this project.
