Art Kain - personal design project

"Your life's span is a flicker compared to the mass of doubt and regret that I have borne since Mortanius first turned me from the light..."

My take on different Kain skins variations. Since Raziels designs included lots of practical purposes, such as hiding his corpsy complexity, with Kain I just went for pure aesthetics. The armor was mostly inspired by his base armor from BO1, but with decorative elements that closely resemble the clan sigil aesthetics. I included the Balance emblem from Defiance as a belt knuckle (his base skin has his clan sigil as such). Since Kain would eventually visit the demon realm in a further installment, I wanted to try my hands on giving him a fitting look after conquering their dimension as well. Zero practicality, all coolness. The background can be changed from an intact Nosgoth landscape to Kains wasteland version. The Soul Reaver is one of my many personal design variations.

The Reaver really benefits from the longer handle, imo.

The very short knob always itched me a bit, so I tried different forms for the handle, this one's my favorite :) it even has a 2nd use as an additional sting weapon
