Finally finally. Hey guys, today we are going to create
finally create Assassin's Creed's, a beautiful framed artwork.
An Assassin's Creed project is on my personal bucket list for ages
and I'm really happy I finally managed to create a
a framed artwork with Ezio Auditore
which is my favorite hero from the Assassin's Creed game series.
I haven't played the game, but my brother has played it a lot
and whenever I think of Assassin's Creed
I have to think the good old times when I watched my brother play this game a lot.
So this is why I was really really happy to finally you find the time to create this.
It's another collaboration with the GTV, which is a YouTube channel
created by Ubisoft
and I did an extended version of this project in German on their channel.
I make sure to link this if you want to watch it, and if you are capable of German
it's always great to have a look at what they are doing at GTV.
Now let's jump into the creation!
We have started by mixing the main color for the trousers and mixing another brighter one
because all the colours
Ezio is wearing they should really look dirty.
They should have a really used look from all the fights and all the travels
he had done in the past,
so the main color is dark brown and I am always throwing in some silver.
Also for the brighter brown because it becomes that shiny leatherish material.
Black is also in almost
every color composition I do on this creation.
And now we can start working our way up.
We start at the bottom with the shoes now with the leg protections
and all these different leather parts.
I used this stripe in many many videos.
In Deadpool, the Deadpool creation, for example
From yesterday no the day before yesterday and here we go for some silver details.
This is the opening mechanism.
It's the perfect creation to really go mad over the details. Yeah.
I told you I wanted to watch Deadpool and I did.
After I created Deadpool last night, I watched the first movie
at least half an hour. No, one hour and a half.
It got really really late and hopefully I'll finish it
today this evening.
Yeah what to say about Deadpool. It was different than expected.
Different than expected quite funny.
Really brutal, as well.
I... yeah, it's OK.
I'm not really blown away by Deadpool, but well to be honest
I haven't finished the movie by now. I'll do that tonight
Back to the creation of Ezio.
This is the typical white fabric he is wearing
with many details and beautiful patterns on the side
and I used white plus some silver
to make the fabric a little bit shiny,
plus to have the option to go even brighter with pure white and we will do that later.
The white for the color for example of his shirt,
so there we will have the option to go even brighter, which is really nice.
Now, let's switch to the red. This is the only color I use out of the box as it is,
because it should be a really really bright shiny red
for the belt of Ezio and this tiny piece of skin color
will be for the neck.
Here we go for the color as well.
I love the color composition on this character design
what Ubisoft did on Ezio.
It's this brown white red and I immediately have to think about
Ezio Auditore from Assassin's Creed 2.
It's their typical. Later when we add the cave
it's more clear because it has the inside color. It's this red.
The outside color is probably leather. Well it's brown.
Now let's talk about the hands and also the weapons
which we will include in this creation.
We have two different kinds of gloves he's wearing,
but both hands are equipped with a blade.
With this jumping blade, which is coming. I I'm not sure if it has a name.
This weapon in Assassin's Creed, but on his left hand he has
this extended protection
And this is the hand
which is looking out of this protection.
I really hope I don't mess this up.
I don't upset any huge Assassin's Creed fans of you.
Again, I haven't played the series, but I watched it a lot
because my brother used to play this.
There was a period of time when I came from school,
I went to my brother's room
and chances were pretty high that he was playing Assassin's Creed during that time.
So, this is the belt with a typical sign.
It's the Assassin's Creed sign, I think so at least.
Yeah, the belt was a real struggle
with these many many details.
For the cape we have this brown, dirty brown pattern
on the backside which makes it somehow more natural-looking.
When we are pretending this is leather.
Then we have some wooden sticks and this is a new technique.
I can't remember I've done that before.
It's really great to get some more folds and dents into fabrics
that it looks like real fabrics.
Ok now we can fix this with some wooden sticks as well
and this is how the cape is attached to Ezio.
We have this tiny black line and some silver tiny screws.
Now the face!
Well, it's a human face, but it's hidden under the cape.
Under the hood. Yeah.
And I'm really happy about that because
now I don't need to be that accurate
with a face, because you won't see it anyway.
I got some comments telling me that Deadpool face
was not that good.
So my apologies if it didn't turn out the way you thought it should look like.
Human faces. Yeah, my big struggle.
This should be my project, right now.
Working on these.
Now let's close the hood on the back side and
let's put this aside
because we have another element for our framed artwork.
It's the eagle we have
and it's the first time ever I created an eagle,
first time ever I created a realistic bird
and this is the technique I used.
I thought it would be nice if the feathers got brighter
when it goes to the edge of each feather, so I blend it a brighter brown
to the darker brown,
but we only need a very, very thin line of this bright brown.
And then we can also work on all the different parts
which we will use because the bird contains of different layers of feathers.
And now we can try to get really nice shapes of all the feathers
this bird is wearing.
No, he didn't say that.
He did not say that.
So, this is the first layer. We are going quite crazy with the scalpel with all these details
and we can put it on top.
I think right now it already looks quite fascinating.
Now the head and some more feathers. Maybe we can blend that
over to the tail as well and we don't need to create a bird beak because
this is just the on top perspective of the bird.
the whole creation the whole artwork
will be from Ezio's point of view and this means we don't need to create
everything in every detail, we just focus only on top view and let's put this into the oven
Freshly baked Ezio!
I'm not sure if you have seen that. Also on the plate of the eagle I created the two blades.
Because we will attach that to Ezio. We will equip him .
With this gray pen we can add some shadows and we have these typical
characteristic white red stripes
on his suit, on his clothing.
Some golden details, which somehow reminded me of the Venetians,
Venice culture
and it makes sense that he is wearing all that kind of stuff.
Well, he can increase his hiding skills a little.
Now we are almost done with character.
Let's add some transparent polish for the shoes
because this is some real shiny leather
and also for the cape. I thought it would be nice
for his cloak to make it a little bit more shiny.
Now we are adding the first plate.
It doesn't really make sense that the blades are coming out
because well he is standing right on top of the Cathedral
ready to jump and he would hide his blades
because he is concentrating on jumping and isn't fighting,
but for me this was a typical pose for Ezio Auditore.
Now, these are some materials to start with a Cathedral.
These acrylic balls.
This is actually the one from the helmet from the intro.
Now it got recycled. I could use it.
This is my beloved hot glue gun
and we can start working on the very top of the Cathedral which is called Santa Maria.
And we are drilling a whole.
Inside the acrylic balls, because now we can stick in
this wooden stick. Oops!
Now, you know at least where this hole came from
and at the top we have the cross.
I want to make the edges a little bit curved.
I really love how the game developers spend so much time on all the details
when maybe you remember the time when Notre-Dame in Paris was burning.
So much historic stuff was destroyed on the building itself
and I'm not sure if this is true, but I read this article which said
because the Notre-Dame is an Assassin's Creed
the historians will use the game Assassin's Creed
to reconstruct the cathedral,
Notre-Dame, because the game is so accurate
when it comes to building 3D models.
This is the cross. We are gluing it together.
the real one on
Santa Maria del Fiore is golden,
so we will paint that later with some golden acrylic paint.
Now the balls. We will glue them onto the stick. Also the smaller one.
They should be... well the distance from the bigger ball
to the cross should be that much that Ezio isn't Reaching it quite easily
so he has to jump.
I remember this but I also looked it up.
There are still some gameplay videos on YouTube for this game. It's quite old.
Maybe some of you are complaining this in the comments
that why I didn't choose a newer version of Assassin's Creed for this project.
Well, it's just Ezio is my favorite Assassin's Creed hero of all times.
And also this moment when he is standing right on top of the cathedral
is stuck in my head forever
since I saw that, since I saw my brother play this game so much.
All the details are made with cardboard on the cathedral
except for the wooden stick and the acrylic balls.
I tried to get the angle right of the roof and I used the gameplay videos on YouTube
which I found for that.
Now this looks like like a roof, but we will wrap around another layer of cradboard,
a very thin and colored cardboard that gets all round
and that it looks typical. When I was planning this project.
I really thought I could create the dome itself from cardboard,
but then I realized that
the whole scale of this project would be too insane
because I wanted to focus on Ezio after all with all his details.
Now let's wrap this around.
It's not white.
It's a little bit of yellow inside. It has a really green colour.
Let's cut this away.
We will cut away some further cardboard later to get it into the frame
but let's focus on the top first.
We should add this layer of cardboard
Hopefully it works. Let's use some more hot glue.
Hot glue gun is my favorite tool right now
but it's dangerous. I burned so much my fingers while working with that.
Okay.
So, it looks quite nice so far. I'm really really curious
what the cross will look like when we get in some paint.
This is golden paint.
Oh, look at that. It almost looks like as if the whole cross was made out of metal out of gold.
I'm curious if the real cross is real gold.
Maybe some of you can look that up on Wikipedia and tell us in the comments
because this would just be an insane amount of gold.
Now I printed out this background
and I try to get in some more depth.
It's also a part of the cathedral I think
and we will make this a very very tiny  effect
just to get in some more 3D effects.
For 3D effects my favorite project so far
is the Super Mario framed artwork I have done
some while ago.
I also did some paper techniques to get in some more of 3D effects.
And now I try to be really careful to glue this all in the right position.
Now this is the frame we are using. It's really really large,
but it already looks quite fascinating. I'm so curious what it will look like hanging on the wall.
I don't think I have enough room for this thing to hang it to the wall.
I should give it to my brother, yeah.
He would love it. Well his wife maybe not because it's too huge, but he would love it.
I know that he is watching a lot of my videos
and I'm always happy when he gives me feedback as well on the videos.
Maybe this is a nice way of saying thank you, Daniel. I love you.
This framed artwork. Well, let the community decide
if you should get it.
Of course, we will make a signature to it because it's a real artwork after all.
So much work.
Look at that. Guys I guess
that's it a framed 3D artwork
from Assassin's Creed 2.
I really hope you enjoy today's video with the framed artwork of Assassin's Creed 2.
Let me know what I should create next. Write it down in the comments.
Have a great, have a beautiful weekend!
Happy Easter holidays.
Stay creative. Take care guys. Bye!
You
