Arm guard leather carving (Finally finished!!)
Cameroo:
Thanks guys. I figured you older guys would appreciate it ;) Kelly figures it looks "old-timey".
I'm anxious to get back to work on it, but Kelly and I are having the 3rd anniversary of our first date today, so I think it's in my best interest not to work on it today ;)
Maybe tomorrow...
Pat B:
Nothing wrong with "old timey" in my book! ;D
Cameroo:
I got the tooling pretty much finished up today. I took some closeup pictures of some of the different tools I used in case anyone is interested. Hope I'm not boring with the details, but I had a request on some earlier work for more of a how-to. So, here we go...
This tool is called a seeder. There are different types and sizes. It's called a seeder because it's main purpose originally was to do the seed clusters in the center of flower blossoms.
I used it in this case to fill in some empty background space. The texture will soak up a lot of dye and make those areas quite dark.
This is one example of a beveler. It gets used a lot to give depth around the outline of objects.
Another beveler for getting into tighter areas. I used this lots for the trees.
Another tiny odd-ball beveler for tight spaces. Most of these tools can be used for multiple purposes but tilting the tool at different angles and varying the amount of pressure.
This is one example of a shader, generally used to create shadows. Areas textured with these tools will generally soak up more stain too.
Here I used a pear shader and the modeler tool to put some contour onto the deer.
Cameroo:
I found that this type of shader makes some really nice foliage in the trees.
The ducks didn't turn out quite the way I wanted, but they'll be better next time :)
Used the modeler tool (the spoon end of the scribe tool) to do some work on Bambi
And that's pretty much where I'm at now. Next step is to start dyeing/staining. Hopefully I don't screw it all up. Believe it or not, I've got about 12 hours into this thing already...
