Description Here's the completed mask of Artemis, Greek goddess of the moon and the hunt!

It's hard to tell from the picture, but I used some iridescent highlights all around the helm section. I wanted to make it feel ethereal and to reflect the moon. A touch of green to hint at the hunting and forest nature of the goddess and I did a marbled gold texture on the antlers since her deers were said to have golden antlers

This is my second largest mask (the largest being Anubis) and I was glad that the antlers were strong enough to stand on their own. Definitely a fun experience and I hope to make a few more of these!

Made from 8oz tooling leather and painted with acrylics.

I saw this one on Etsy and given my uh, personal cervine identifier, I'd love to have something like this, you know when I sprout some moneys from my stuffed animal sales. I see you take custom orders, what are your prices n such?

I don't know much about mask crafting but this looks incredible! The attention to details is lovely Especially the texture on the antlers (can I ask how you went about that?) like some said before. I'd love to own a mask like this myself.

Thank you!
I did some experimenting to get the marble effect. I basically did a lot of layering. Starting with the base color (white) and then a mid-tone gold and then putting in dabs of brighter gold.

And thanks for the interest! I will post an update when I get around to setting up an etsy (I'm too tentative about doing that lol).
