I've been very busy...just finished this cute pair of green dragons. I put them on bright metallic backgrounds for a change. The one on the left is burnished gold over brown, the one on the right is bright copper.
I draw these guys right on the mask, freehand, so they all look a bit different. Fun! Then they're carved by hand and tooled...I used a textured beveler to add depth all along the outlines of the dragons.
As ever, these masks are made from 8oz tooling veg-tanned leather. Painted with Liquitex acrylics.
These are available (or can be ordered) at my Etsy shop:

The dragons are cute, and it must be hard to freehand them every time.
