Leather outfit I made for Magic Meat Week back in November, and I did post it then, but didn’t get nicer photos until more recently. So it’s going up for @magicmeatmarch! I was trying to go for a dark rogue/thief sort of aesthetic, but I think it needs some sort of asymmetric holster/strap arrangement to really sell the look. Something to stick a dagger, or a bunch of smoke bombs, or what have you.
I’m pretty busy this month with a pile of commissions, but I’ve got a few days of waiting at the moment to get more materials in, so maybe I’ll be able to work on that now. I’m a bit low on ideas too, though, so if anyone has an idea for how the straps should go to maximize the beefcakiness of this getup, feel free to scribble your thoughts on one of these photos and shoot it back to me!
Found some more plague doctor hood photos I’d forgotten to post.
This design is one of the more complex ones I’ve done, in terms of number of pieces that have to attach together in specific ways. I think it all came together pretty well though. The ear covers with the holes, the extra rings around the eyes to cover all the edges that converge there and cleanly inset the lenses, the grommets for just a bit of extra detail in the beak. And the shape is adjusted to give enough space to wear glasses underneath, which I was particularly happy with.
This mask is still available! Here it is on my Etsy shop.
Here's a pair of dragon-scaled leather bracers! The shaping on the scales is always fun.
It's been a while since I was able to get any good full-outfit photos with this design, I need to put together a fresh armor set that I can swap pieces in and out of.
Obligatory Etsy link!
So if you’re not aware, furries have been getting into pup play in recent years, and sometimes they commission art of their characters wearing pup hoods. Which presents a problem of, where do the ears go? Normally they are drawn poking through holes in the hood, and I always think it is cute and silly.
This was my attempt at making that physical. Roughly mimicked the standard hood pattern in leather with laces up the back, very simple detailing. (I liked that nose though.)
Ears by a local friend who goes by Puff.
This one sold at Anthro New England this last weekend. I’m likely to try refining the concept and making another in the future, we shall see.
This guy sold within 6 hours of my posting it, so that was nice. Here’s some last photos of it from before I shipped it out. These photos show the gradient from darker to lighter on the underbelly a bit better.
I’m planning on making more of these, maybe this month. If you’d be interested in commissioning one, maybe with a more out-there color pallet, drop me a note!
Come on in. The water’s fine. Don’t worry. He’ll only bite once.
Made of leather! I designed it in 3D, laser cut the pieces, dye them with a subtle gradient of blues, form them to shape, rivet them together, and finish it with a glossy top coat for a watery sheen.
The proportions of this mask are optimized for excellent vision, with the eye holes resting close over the wearer’s eyes. Ventilation is through the mouth. The sides of the head are shaped to give the ears ample room. It laces up the back, with the fin splitting open when donning and closing up to conceal the laces when tightened.
I am finally ready to post this up for sale! It is available over on my Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1251970940/shark-hood
I’m hoping I get to make more of these in other colors in the coming months.
