Silly Photos - Tumblr Posts
A tribal filigree mask I designed last year sometime but hadn’t gotten photos of! I like the relative scale between the size of the mask and the swirling slashes of holes cut into it. I’m just generally fond of designs where the primary component is the negative space.
So yeah. This design wasn’t specifically trying to depict anything in particular, it’s more just emulating the sort of tribal tattoo aesthetic that you see floating around all the time. The curling projections on the edges are kind of flame-like, or maybe they’re horns.
Whenever I’m taking photos I always joke around with my friends models. Otherwise, if you just put a camera in someone’s face, they end up just looking uncomfortable. But sometimes I like the silly photos more than the “good” ones.
I just posted this design up for sale on my Etsy shop, with the more “professional” photos.
I grabbed some friends for a photo shoot today! I took like actually 500 photos so it’ll take a couple days to fully go through them, but here are some fun ones that might not get used in product photos because of having multiple designs mixed and also because wow they’re ridiculous.
Whee my friends are great.
Oh, also, I know I’d said I’d been hoping to take some chainmail tail commissions soon, but last weekend when I was hiking in the mountains in North Carolina to see the eclipse I sprained my wrist. (I slipped and fell on a rock while swimming in Sliprock Creek. I’m not even kidding.) The eclipse was awesome, but hiking back up a mountain with an injured wrist was pretty bad. Glad it wasn’t my ankle though! Anyway, I got it looked at when I got back to civilization. I’ll probably be in a splint for another week or so, and I’m probably gonna hold off on chain-mailleing for another week or two so I don’t mess it up long-term. I know there were a couple people who’d been asking about tails coming up, and I’m sorry that this will delay them more, but such is life.
Anyway, the next few days will involve me going through and updating photos on a bunch of my Etsy listings, and posting a couple new ones that had been waiting on photos. Expect a bit of an influx of photos everywhere I am online.
