Shortly after I finished my TL logo inlay, fellow Liquipedian ZodaSoda sent me this:

edit: It's Griever from FF8!


At the time I shied away, after doing a quick ring estimate plus having just finished a major project. However, last December, having some spare free time over the holiday season, I decided to take up the project and get started. Today I'm ready to show you the final product.

The rings are galvinized iron and copper, all with a 6 mm inner diameter. Not sure about the total amount of rings used - my estimate is close to or over 5.5k. In some photos you can spot a bit of a shade difference between older and newer parts but that will sort itself out over time. Enjoy!

I can only imagine how painstaking this process must be, just like any other art. I'm really impressed, seriously.

Cooooool

Galvanized steel isn't bad, but wasn't all that copper pretty expensive?

(I guess it would be nothing compared to the value of the work it takes to make something like that, but still)

I bought 100 meters of electrical wire which I then had to strip myself. Cost about 30€ so not too bad (and still got a good some left)

Thanks for the comments and stars, feel free to ask questions

When I have more time. Right now working on a pillow, something special for zatic, and considering replacing the pockets of an old pair of pants with chainmail.

As far as texture feeling and temperature goes I don't think so. Main concern is whether my leg hairs will get stuck/ripped out and/or whether it'll wreck my washing machine.
