Arm Guard Question...
« on: March 23, 2010, 03:44:00 PM »
I finished this new armguard, for the Tx Hill Country Shootout.
 I am trying to learn to carve animal figures, detail is difficult yet important.

Let me have it, is it OK, good, paying good, or needs improvement. (If it was a giveaway I know it would go)

I dont intend to sell em, just looking for a lil advise.

Does it look like an elk??

 Thanks

Looks good and definately looks like an elk. I would say it is close to selling good.  Keep practicing you will be there in no time.

I think it looks great.
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.

I'm getting into tooling too. Alot of fun and it really adds to a leather archery piece.

Mike, very nice work on that elk. With your talent -- and don't take this the wrong way -- but since you did such detail work on those antler points, have you considered adding some mountains, trees, sky, etc. as a "background" instead of the pattern background? I've never done any leather work, so it might not be possible. I can see you are talented enough to do that as a background if you set your mind to it, but it just might take too much more time. Again, I'd be proud to wear that right there as you did it. You are an artist for sure.    :thumbsup:
