I like this mask too. The overlapping pieces is a neat idea. And your coloring is great as always. If you would quit telling us when you mess up, nobody would ever know ;) I hope your next attempt turns out like you want it to. Can't wait to see it.

I think the mask is great too - I love your work!I have a big question for all you airbrush people: I know nothing about these things but having read several posts including this one I have kinda decided to go with an Iwata airbrush. Queston 1: Is an Iwata Eclipse HP-CS like an HP plus? If not what is the difference in simple, easy to understand terms?I will probably only use the thing occasionally but would like to try spraying leather finish to avoid bubbles, streaks etc. Now, what sort of compressor would you suggest for an Iwata airbrush? I have been looking at all kinds and don't know where to start and living in the middle of nowhere doesn't help either. I don't have a handy store to ask my daft questions and will have to do everything mail order hence: Question 2: Should I stick with the Iwata brand or what? Are all the fittings the same? What about air-pressure? what about noise? What model would be best to buy?
There is alot about airbrushes but they are basically the same tech from years ago when I use to use one for other art purposes. As far as air compressors just get whatever you can that you can use to fill a bottle with or get one that has a bottle attached. You see the compressor surges as it pumps and you dont want this transmitted to your airbrush so what I learned was fill your tank. Spray your work then refill your tank as need be during the process. If I remember iwata was pretty good. I allways used baush I think it was. Having a double action is nice as it allows more diversity for what you can use it for, basically double action lets you vary the thickness of your stream so you can do big areas or little tiny lines. I also liked having the ability to get a top and bottom feed. Basically for small stuff you put the top little cup on and for big prjects you could hook up a bottle to the bottom of it. Thats about all I got, good luckluck

Leatheroo looks really good IMO. I like the effect that the paint has, looks really smooth. Good job. And remember most artist are never trully satisfied with there own work. It doesnt help that your the one sitting there struggling with it and seeing every little tiny imperfection first hand. I know that kills me for projects, I see every little mistake. I would probably never finish a project if my girlfriend wasnt threatening me to get it done.

Very nice mask. Really original design. I don't know what you were planning, but I suggest you stop apologizing for it cause it is really cool!!
