Had a great time at the Belegarth event Olympics.
Got some amazing pictures of my kit, armor I made myself and the shield cover was painted by @statickling.bsky.social.

Mostly finished WIP of my personal leather torso for Belegarth, the combat LARP I do. Next up is commissions. Who has some cool ideas for small artistic projects to try?

Making consistent progress and growth with my projects lately. Not needing the panic of a last second deadline or copious amounts of caffeine to finish projects is such a weird new feeling.
Hopefully this becomes a habit.

Productive day working on some armor. Hopefully someone picks the masks up soon and I can get some new commissions going.

Art is hard so I'm trying to figure out what my brain wants to do.

Finished the prototype face mask and tried a new Metalic Dye suggested by a friend. Did the Metalic over black dye, silver drybrush, and dark brown antiqueing paste for some added depth to the texture

Its made of 10oz water molded leather

Making slight adjustments to the fit and shape of my mask pattern and trying out something different for ventilation.
