So this was obviously planned to be released as thank you for hitting 50 followers, but I doubted and delayed and distracted myself until I noticed I had 60 followers (THANK YOU!), so I made myself fiddle around a bit and here I present two slightly different variations of a backpack.
- I make zero promises about whether or not either of these will print succesfully, I am not that experienced with 3d printers so attempt to print at your own risk, and any on how to make it/the new version more printable is welcome :)
The backpack is inspired by the one worn by the classic mini of the gunslingin' Lord of the Keys, Master of Mysteries, Keeper of the Truth, the shadowy figure with his roots in the traditions of The Order, known only as Lord Cypher*, or the top of every inner circle ' most hated and feared list.
As soon as I looked at images of the cool mini that I as opposed to this current sucky one (except the scabbard, that's a huge improvement) it was clear that as usual James allowed some fairly big instances in the 90s of poetic licence when it came to.......yep, anatomy. I was shocked.
As such this is much more a reimagining of the classic backpack as limited by my skills in blender when I made it, rather than a recreation of the classic miniature. it is also a v0,1 because I plan to come back to this idea and model all of the pieces myself - if you spot your work being used please let me know and I'll credit you/remove it until I replace the pieces, but I have no idea where the majority of the bits I used are from, apart from Riconeid, as with my other two backpack releases his work was the source for the majority of the pieces.
When I am better with using Blender I'll remake the whole thing (hence (including the GIGANTIC scabbard I could NOT do justice to at the moment) and release a v0.2 or maybe even decide it might be worth calling it v1.0...buuuuuut more likely I'll be distracted by a new project idea. For a bit. At least it'll still be for Dark Angels.
I'm making this free as it is a thank you, and I left my first release as free instead of open price because it gets annoying having to type 0 so frequently and if anyone DOES want to drop me a tip (as five fantastic folk have done so far, special thanks to you - it may not be much money, but it's massively motivating, as are the s, likes and follows ^^) then my second release is open priced, the backpack set with the same basic design as this one that can be found here:

and there you may tip me if you wish.
Thanks again, I'll try to keep working on projects and actually finishing them π
*oh except the Lion, he knows him as Cors-....not the place for conspirac-wait yes it is, this is about Cypher, here is perfect for conspiracy theories. It's totally Corswain, or Corswain with some Zahariel in the mix cos, you know, warp storm. Probably . Something like that, though the Nemean could also be...involved...
