A tribal filigree mask I designed last year sometime but hadn’t gotten photos of! I like the relative scale between the size of the mask and the swirling slashes of holes cut into it. I’m just generally fond of designs where the primary component is the negative space.
So yeah. This design wasn’t specifically trying to depict anything in particular, it’s more just emulating the sort of tribal tattoo aesthetic that you see floating around all the time. The curling projections on the edges are kind of flame-like, or maybe they’re horns.
Whenever I’m taking photos I always joke around with my friends models. Otherwise, if you just put a camera in someone’s face, they end up just looking uncomfortable. But sometimes I like the silly photos more than the “good” ones.
I just posted this design up for sale on my Etsy shop, with the more “professional” photos.
Flame filigree mask! Finally some decent photos of it!
This design gets a gradient/fade from yellow around the eyes to red at the tips. There's always some variation in that process, this particular one came out more on the red side.
Here it is on my Etsy store.
And here’s this mask being worn!
(And of course here’s the Etsy listing for the regular jackal mask.)
Made this jackal mask as a gift, decided to try out some gold leather paint. It’s kinda tricky to get a smooth coat on, it tends to show brush strokes. Also tried a new finish I just got, which is more reflective than what I’ve been using. I think I actually like it.
Testing out making leather masks sized to fit fursuit heads, and I think it worked pretty well! I think I'll have a small stack of them at my table at Anthro New England!
I could do any of my small masks like this, so if you’re going and would like a specific design/color, let me know and I can make one for you. Otherwise I’ll just have a mix of colors and styles to choose from.
Since I expect there's a lot of variation in fursuit face shapes and sizes, I think the way it'll work is to bring them dyed+sealed, but not formed, and the process will involve meeting with people in the evening to saran wrap their heads and form the leather, then they bring it back to their rooms and let it dry for a few hours.
