Masks

Oni Mask/ sketch (2021)

Art, Masks, masks, Sculptures

Besides painting, I also love to sculpt masks.

After I finished my Rabbit mask (click here to see the project), some friends of mine wanted me to make plaster masks for them too.

One of them, Duc, wanted me to do a dark blue/grayish Oni mask for him. These are the sketches. The mask actually exists- but it isn’t finished and I haven’t worked on it in a looooong while. Maybe I can take a picture of it one day.

You can see the process of me taking a plaster mask off his face underneath the sketches.

The reason why it isn’t finished is, that I am not happy with the current state of it. Right now it even has details, teeth (made out of fimo) and is painted, but it is simply too heavy and not symmetrical enough for my liking.

after finishing my rabbit mask so I started a new one. I still gonna take good quality pictures of it but here it is. It was inspired by Tokyo Ghoul, the masks from Bring me the horizons Parasite even and the traditional Oni mask.

It’s made of plaster, hot glue, modelling paste and some plastics I found in the bin. Its painted with acrylics. I made the teeth out of FIMO

so here you can see how she turned out. I’m really happy with that mask. Especially because I haven’t done one in over three years. So the whole mask is made of plaster, modelling paste and then painted with acrylics. the ears are made of some really stable but light material. I put middle thick wire at the sides, so that I can bend them and that they are even more stable. Afterwards I painted some shadows with chalk. I wanted to blood at the top of her head to shine so I put some ind of clear vanish over it.
