Nice work! personally I think some painting will make the carving look better. The trick is thinning it just right to get the color while still leaving the leather showing thru. It will still look like a leather carving and give nice detail to the eyes and such. Here's something I painted a while back that might give you ideas. Troy

I just used some cheep water based colors from hobby lobby, cova colors work also, they're thinned down so much it's not really paint anymore. I'd probly lose the stitching, but it's just personal preference. Have you thought about a tree round with the bark still on it instead of plywood.

That is over the top AMAZING!! I cant get over the detail. What patience you must have. Well cool thing is you have inspired me to try something like that in the future.
