Too Many Eyes - Tumblr Posts

hm!
i havent shaded in a literal year so forgive me



This mask is a bit weird to try to describe. I had an idea for an abstract creepy mask, and I put it together by hand from the weird bits of leather in my scrap pile. Since the pieces come from different hides, they’ve got more variation than I usually go for from one piece to the next. I left it the natural un-dyed tan color to show that off.
The slashed openings let you see through with some occlusion, like shutter shades.
I do like how it turned out, and if other people do too I'll probably make more in this vein. This one will be unique though!

a series of perfectly normal family portraits
When Tom is six years old, a woman visits the orphanage he has lived his entire life in to take a look at the children. When Tom turns seven years of age, mother starts having him help around the mortuary. Tom is eleven when the man in purple robes visits their home to personally deliver a letter to him. Tom is thirteen and thinks his life is cursed. Tom is sixteen years old when he kills someone for the first time. It is an accident. Tom graduates at eighteen and realises for the first time that neither mother nor Meiri have aged a day since he first met them. They haven’t changed at all.
Tom gets adopted by a necromancer. He doesn’t think his life actually changed for the better.
