MIAD's annual masquerade ball is tomorrow night... and I find myself without the most important aspect of my costume - a mask!
Due to time and monetary constraints, I'm going to attempt to construct one out of whatever I happen to have in my dorm.
Which seems to be mostly paper plates, masking tape, an old spent glowstick mask, some feathers, and my glue gun.
Let this serve as the "before" picture:
I will update this post with WIP pics, as well as post the final mask when it's done.
That's assuming I can turn a pile of crap into a mask without any real planning. Well, it's worth a shot.
WIP 1:
I have a general idea now of what I'm doing, although I'm not quite sure of how well I'll be able to pull it off. The paper plates are a great resource.
WIP 3:
Masking tape + paper plates = strange jaguar mask?
Some general concepts, including a rough sketch of a "jungle" area:
A whoooole bunch of sketches of the raptor character:
Sketch of a Styracosarus and his size in comparison to his rider:
A more detailed raptor head. None of these are scientifically accurate at all, haha:
This is all I have for now. The scanner I was using at the school started acting all weird. I have some more that I'll scan tomorrow, hence the "Part 1."
As you can tell from this next one, my favorite things to draw are kitty cats.
This last one is part of a project that I've been working on forever. I just can't seem to get it right.
There's an unseen detail to it. Last semester I mixed black light sensitive paint in with a project I did for a class, because the theme of the project was a song/band whose era went with the blacklight theme. A couple of my classmates told me to bring that back just for fun, so here is how the skateboard appears under blacklight:
