Here's a new design - Dagoth. It's made from 4 main pieces of leather, has 4 buckles that buckle onto a piece in the back. The name comes from the antagonist in Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind (even though they look nothing alike). I am the model.

Plague Doctor Mask
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you... My Plague Doctor Mask!
This is by far the most complex mask I have ever made. It involves two main leather pieces, lensed eyes, breathing holes, and three buckles. The design was originally inspired by the plague doctor masks of Tom Banwell, but I prefered this design. To me, it looked more like the plague doctor masks found in old paintings. I am the model in this one.
Don't let the term "doctor" fool you. Plague doctors were around from the 1300s, when the bubonic plague struck Europe. They wore these creepy masks with long, waxed coats and gloves. They prodded their victims with sticks to make sure they didn't have to touch them. In the end, they probably did more to spread the plague than to help it. The masks were stuffed with spices, to ward off the "bad odors" that spread the plague. After all, everyone knows that's how the plague spreads: through bad smells! They DID manage to stay uninfected, but that was because their coats prevented fleas from biting them.

Post-Apocalyptic Gas Mask
May I present my first gas mask!
The Post-Apocalyptic Gas Mask!
This has been the hardest mask I've ever created, made of 3 pieces of leather, acrylic, and an old can of evaporated milk, all of which is held together by rivets and some screws.
It features:
- Buckles
- Acrylic Lenses
- A filter (Made of an old can of evaporated milk)
A rather uncomfortable creation, this is a one-of-a-kind mask, although not the only gas mask I have plans to make.
