Plague Doctor's Mask

Recommended Posts

Hey Tom, I'm not sure what a plague doctor is, but I love the look. It's a departure from the more high tech steampunk style. I really dig the more primitive look with the simpler details, like the one big buckle. The power is in the great silhouette, and then the distressed look, which gives it an air of authenticity.

Kinda like the costume details in the new Robin Hood movie, which look wonderfully grimey.

Sorry bout that! During the plague in the 16th century in Venice doctors actually wore a mask like this as part of their costume. The beak was filled with herbs to ward off the "bad air" that they thought caused the disease.

I can't believe the stuff you guys make! Every time I come here I'm just in awe of the craftmanship. This is seriously amazing, instantly timewarped me to Italy. Thanks for the ride :)

I know I'm late to the party, but I wanted to say that this is amazing! I hope someday I have a fraction of your skill!
