Ciridae Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) I wasn't sure where to post this, so I apologize if this is the wrong place. I am re-reading the Emperor's Soul right now and decided to make a Soulstamp: (Spoiler for size) Spoiler I used soapstone because it seemed similar enough to the way Soulstone is described in the book (and it was easiest to work with ). It's soft and I had a stone that resembled the grey-red coloring of Soulstone. I based the design of the stamp off of the chapter headings in the book and I changed the overall shape (it doesnt have the handle like in the illustration of Shai). Still, I'm happy the way it turned out, hope you guys like it Edit: Reuploaded the images, hope theyre visible now Edit 2: Just came across a passage where Shai directly compares Soulstone to soapstone on page 98 in AU, so it looks like I chose the right stone Edited February 10, 2017 by Ciridae 11
Gizmosowner he/him Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 I am unfortunately on mobile right now so it isn't letting me see them but I think this is the first time that someone has made physical soul stamps so very cool 1
Spoolofwhool Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 The pictures are not appearing for me unfortunately. 1
Weltall Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Uhh, same here. But it sounds really cool so I'd love to see it whenever you're able to link to an image of it. 1
Cryokina Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 I can see it just fine now, and I think it looks great! Good choice of material. 1
Ciridae Posted February 10, 2017 Author Posted February 10, 2017 Thanks! I'm thinking of making more, maybe with differently colored stone as well as the handle and a flatter look, less spherical. Ill try to find a way to make the pattern more visible too, if I can.
Weltall Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Very nice looking. How long did it take you to carve the seal?

I just looked at the illustration in the book and carved a similarly looking design with a needle. Making it close to spherical and polishing took the longest, I wanted it shiny
