Another fun custom build from the customer who requested the Sun Prince and Naamah masks. She wanted something that had the feel of the winged Thor helm of Marvel Comic's repute without looking too incredibly similar.
I've never done riveting in this fashion before. Bashed a few fingers and messed up a few times before finally getting it right! I have to say I love the look and will definitely be using rivets more now!
This mask has 3 layers of 7 oz leather riveted and glued in key spots. Dyed, painted with acrylics, then varnished. It's held on with elastic bands, which have been threaded through a panel of the wings in the back.
Augh, wow, that turned out beautiful! So many details, and that metallic shine...this looks like a lot of fun to wear. Certainly eye-catching! Well done!
It kiiiinda lacks nose this one but it was a requested artpiece so i'm sure it's not entirely your design. of course you made it but is it your idea entirely?
I'd say the idea/design is mine, as the only prompts were to make it a winged Thor mask (with Marvel's Thor as a basis). I can definitely see a nose guard working with this, but I had to work within budget, so couldn't get TOO extravagant with adding pieces. I already added a little more detail than was really paid for in this. That always happens with my custom jobs. Especially when they're fun!
