Another craft made from a simple brass plate, this time the design relies on contrast. It's quite simple, but still one that I'm rather fond of, even though others might not feel the same.
It doesn't show very clearly, but the antlers are made from a cut in the plate, they are not engraved.
This is gorgeous. What does it mean for the plate to be cut but not engraved?
Well, engraved is on the surface, while cut goes through the whole thickness of the plate. This mostly means that the tools to do it are different, as engraving is often done by either scraping the metal with a "blade", or with a rotating tool with a polishing bit; while the cutting is simply with the same saw I cut the rest of the shape with.
Obviously it changes the looks too, as it makes the pattern see-through, but it doesn't show much on the picture...
You have a picture on a different color background or backlit?
I don't have any picture that shows it clearly right now, but I guess this does show it a little bit more...
It's really cool, love how the antlers look. Cut brass has a particular old-yet-new feel that I really enjoy. Also the antlers remind me of lightning, like it's in a storm. Badass!
Edit; it's like a little perspective game. I either see a buck with huge antlers, or a doe standing beneath lightning. Awesome stuff.
I didn't see it as lightning before, but now that you're mentioning it, it does look like it could be seen both ways.
Err, I mean, that was totally my plan from the beginning, of course!
Another piece well done! Thanks for sharing your work with us!
Oh deer lord.
OP won't notice the issue.
I did, my deer.
I guess I must have been tired when I wrote this :')
I love this. The way the whole energy reaches up, the slanted horizon line and the way the antlers also look like a constellation
That's really neat! Good job.

Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.
