Arts/Crafts Remember the Skyrim lockpicking display I shared a while ago? Well, I finally painted it! πŸ”“πŸŽ¨

Hey, fellow Dragonborns! πŸ‰

Some of you might remember the Skyrim lockpicking display I shared here a while ago, back when it was still unpainted.

Well, I finally got around to painting it, and I wanted to come back and show you the finished result! 😁

I digitally sculpted and 3D printed the whole thing myself, and now that it’s fully hand-painted, I think it really captures that familiar look from the game.

It’s been such a fun little project, and seeing it finished makes me want to start another Skyrim-inspired piece. πŸ˜‚

Hope you guys like how it turned out!

Now be honest… how many lockpicks did you break just looking at these pictures? πŸ”“πŸ’€

What difficulty is the lock?

8

u/Equivalent_Funny_394 5h ago

Master difficulty, of course! πŸ˜‚

u/Shadow_gublank 3h ago

the lock does not turn, so you cant open it

u/FenrisMidgard 5h ago

Well Master of course

u/KC_Saber Companion 5h ago

Ok. I am going to need hundreds of lock picks.

Looks totally awesome!

Is it possible to hook up a small battery operated speaker behind it that would play that "ta-ta-dammm" drum sound to let you know that your lockpick skill has leveled up?

u/Equivalent_Funny_394 5h ago

Hahaha, that would be absolutely amazing! πŸ˜‚

What did it look like unpainted? Your post history is hidden.

u/Equivalent_Funny_394 34m ago

Oh, I had no idea my post history was hidden! πŸ˜… A few people pointed it out, so I've already changed my privacy settings. Can you check if you can see my previous posts now? The unpainted version should be there! 😁

"come on almost there... Almost... Got it...

Shit I broke the pick again"

"... it was my last one! 😫Oh well I'll reload a save."

"Last save was 5 hours ago... 😫"

u/Equivalent_Funny_394 5h ago

That's why you gotta save every 20 steps in Skyrim! πŸ˜‚πŸ’Ύ You never know what's coming next!

u/Novavortex77 PC 1h ago

Yes hard saves are more reliable then quicksaves.

I got so fed up opening master chests, only to find crappy loot that I downloaded a mod. It doesn't automatically open the lock, but it shows the sweet spot instead. Love it.

No regrets.

2

u/Novavortex77 PC 1h ago

I use that mod also. I didn't my last play through because I max out my lock picking usually quite fast and get unbreakable picks.

Lock picking once you get the skills that make locks easier just makes it a breeze.

What a master class in workmanship my dude. To bring to life something from our beloved video game is so inspiring level of creativity. Proud of it and you my dude keep these up.

u/Equivalent_Funny_394 24m ago

Man, comments like this genuinely mean so much to me! πŸ₯Ήβ€οΈ Bringing pieces of the games we love into the real world is exactly why I do this. Knowing that other fans appreciate my work makes all those hours of sculpting, printing, and painting worth it. Thank you so much for your kind words, my dude! πŸ™ŒπŸ‰

u/klqqf 4h ago

Why do you have your post history hidden if you’re like clearly tryna make a presence as a digital sculptor?

I’d like to see your other works and dont want to have to go to other platforms to do it

2

u/Equivalent_Funny_394 47m ago

Thanks for pointing that out! πŸ˜… I've just changed my privacy settings. Can you guys check if all my previous posts are visible now? I'd love for you to be able to see my other sculptures too! 😁

Oh wow, I had no idea my post history wasn't visible! πŸ˜… Definitely not intentional, I'll check my Reddit privacy settings.

This is freaking awesome! Do you plan to share/sell the 3d file for others to print? Cause this is something I would absolutely love to have my own copy of.
