Trag’oul’s Avatar

This build was inspired by the “Trag’oul’s Avatar” Necromancer armor set in Diablo III. This set is nicknamed “The Blood Set” so we wanted to make the armor look like it was living and pumping blood.

In order to make the armor translucent, we sculpted, molded and slush cast the main armor pieces in clear resin.

To replicate the look of flowing veins, we spliced chasing red and blue EL wires and ran them along the inside of each translucent armor piece.

The main feature of the build is the beating hearts in each shoulder. For these we sculpted, molded and slush cast two hearts in translucent silicone. To make them animate, we programmed servo motors that rotate and drag along the inside each heart causing them to “beat”.

The armor also completely lights up with red LED strips that are programmed to pulse like a heartbeat  to further bring the armor to life.
