For Some Reason Today Feels Like A Great Day To Post More Photos Of My Codpieces.

For some reason today feels like a great day to post more photos of my codpieces.

This one’s the ever-popular black version of my overlapping plates codpiece. It’s been my best-selling item this year!

I got a bunch more photos of this design in a gold color, but sorting through photos is hard work and something kinda wore me out on the internet today.

This dragon head is the big project that I’ve had underway for a while. Modeled in 3D in Rhino, then instead of laser-cutting it I printed it out at full scale and hand-cut the pieces. I went for a pre-finished black leather that I got a couple hides of (initially to make a costume for a LARP which ended up getting cancelled). Mostly riveted together, with a little bit of stitching around the spots that need finer detail, namely the eyes and where the horns are gonna go.

Current status is: sitting in my room nearly finished. I’ve got the horns almost completed, but I need to find a belt sander to use for 5 minutes before I can actually get them done. Or spend another hour or two by hand with a piece of sandpaper and a flat board.

I’m happy I got the sizing correct such that it fits over my glasses. I try to do that any time I’m making something of this scale. If I hadn’t done that I could’ve made the snout a bit shorter and closer in to the head, but for a dragon like this I think the longer shape works well.

I did make the neck a bit longer in the front than I maybe should have, so I might go back and trim it down to increase range of motion. I may also go back and swap the clear acrylic eye lenses for something a bit harder to see in through, because seeing my glasses inside the mask is A Bit Odd. I might still have some half-mirrored acrylic around somewhere...

Just a couple of my mask designs. “Swirling Wisps” on the left, “Techno Holes” on the right.

Raven skull mask in black. I’m out of clever things to say today, I just like this design and I hope you do too.

Brushed off this fallen leaves mask design for a LARP event that I was asked to provide some masks for. Was expecting to get some nicer photos once I got back, but the guy who wore it liked it so much he took it home. So I’ll just have to make another one, oh woe is me.

It’s up on my Etsy page! This is one of those designs where there’ll always be variation in the colors of the leaves, and I’m just going to embrace that.

I gotta make more asymmetric designs, they’re always fun.

Wow, had a couple busy months, but I’m finally catching up with life and starting to sort through the 700 product photos I took nearly 2 months ago.

To start out, here’s a new color! Got some gold leather stain, and tried it out on a codpiece. This design’s been on my store for a while, but people had only ever asked for red on black (the first color combo I did with it). I decided to mix it up a bit.

Etsy link wheeeee!
