Cheshire's Mask from Young Justice WIP

I didn't think I'd be able to pull this mask off in leather, but lo and behold, the versatility of the medium surprises me once again! I tried something new in my process by adding darts just beneath the ears and under the cheeks to help pull the mask into shape. I skived the areas where these darts are so they wouldn't create too large of a crease and would lay flat for when they are glued. However, I think next time I will skive off the square edges so the creases at the gathering are even smaller.

This was a custom request for Cheshire's mask from the show Young Justice (my favorite character!) awaiting paint and finish. I'm still open for custom work right now as long as it's something I'm interested in doing.
