Just finished this custom black and gold kitsune for a customer. I love this design; so simple but so essentially Japanese, and yet my own art. It's basically my own version of a kyogen theater kitsune mask.
As ever, hand carved, hand shaped 8oz vegetable tanned tooling leather, painted with Liquitex acrylics.

I love all of your kitsune masks! I was wondering if I could attempt a series of kitsune drawings based off of the masks you have done? Please let me know.
Red-black-gold is only slightly less of a fantastic colour-combo than red-black-white, and I really love the way you're working the colours in this one. Coupled with the clean and elegant pattern, it works wonderfully.
