This is a mask of Hades, the Greek god of The Underworld and is the first in what I hope to be a series of masks depicting each of the main Greek deities.

Hades is represented here by the Scops or Screech Owl, Cerberus, an asphodel flower etched onto a golden coin and a couple of deathly hands.

Made from 8oz tooling leather and painted with acrylics.

May I please mention that the owl is Athena's symbol and not Hades's? Thanks.

Incredible on all fronts! The texturing and painting seem seemlessly bound together, and the smoky effect used on it's crest is...well, I didn't think that could be pulled off on leather! You continue to stun me, sir. :)

Ohhh this came out delightfully sinister looking! The gold coin is a nice touch. I randomly love the feathers around the beak as well. Here's hoping you'll do a whole series like this! That'd be beyond awesome.:D

Thank you, thank you! I'm happy to say that I started on a second mask - it's going to be of Dionysus ;)

~oh cool idea (: that will be awesome if u make those guys ~ this owl is cute- in a serious way (: i sure like his speckles & the feathering around his beak ~ (: reminds me of the big horned owl that would sit in the dead tree on the hill in our backyard at night...and my grandpa would keep going outside to shout at it to stop hooting at like 2 in the morning ... /: ...i dunno why..i liked that owl~ he wasn't even that loud.

I think I would rather have a hooting owl over the loud, obnoxious barking dogs that my neighbors have lol :)
