This codpiece was a custom request based on a comic book design. (Marvel’s Hercules, I think.) The reference art had a sort of flatter design that doesn’t work very well in real life. I was pretty happy with the volume I managed to get out of 2 pieces of leather.

Used a leather paint on this one instead of the dye that I normally use. I think it worked pretty well for this piece, it felt like it matched the aesthetic of a cell-shaded design. Makes it look more like plastic or powder-coated metal. I can see the appeal, but I think I still prefer dye for most of the sorts of designs I make.

4 oz leather, cut and stitched together by hand with thick nylon thread. Nickel-plated hardware. It uses the same strap setup as my other codpieces.
