RE: Completion of I:The Magician Medicine Bag
That is some very fantastic tooling and coloring of the leather. It looks great. The attention to the details, the cube tooling, and then the transitioning of other tools to make a 3D feel. Simply beautiful eye candy work, that is totally functional. I love how smoothly you did the coloring, not an easy task to keep it all the same with no lighter or darker splotches. (at least I remember leather coloring in HS a long long time ago, and it not being easy to do.)
Thank you so much, @bashadow. You are 100% right, it can be quite a trick to apply the waterstains without...well, waterstaining. The color evolves, too. It appears very different wet compared to dry. And then, the leather itself will continue to darken naturally with age and use. I left the fleshtone plain with just a transparent glaze. I really appreciate your comment, cheers!
