It looks awsome but you made it sideways, Try again.
I uncovered a few left over leather tools while clearing out the bedrooms for floor refinishing...Come by and I will give them to you.

Dubs, that looks great!
Trying to get more shadows can be accomplished by compacting the area more. The denser the leather, the darker it will be. Just smoosh it down a little more next time. I go just a hair more than I think I should. When it dries (from wet working it, not the dye part), it always puffs back a little.
This is a poor photo of my second holster. It's not dyed, just sun tanned, and treated with olive oil. It's a crappy picture, but you can kind of see how the shaded area is... uh, you know, shaded. I think I uses 2 different sized pear shaders. I remember beating the crap out of it. I think I did this in 1990-something. 98, maybe.
Anyway smoosh your shading down a little more, and your shadows will "pop" more. Leave it in the sun. That will make it over all darker too.
Keep going! You are doing really great!

Leatherwork like yours just demands a cool song.
How 'bout this one!
