Working on Project 2
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009Decided to get cracking on a mask prop for my final project. I tried designing it first, but was getting frustrated with that approach and so I just decided to make it.
Gearman Mask, early stage
Gearman mask, early stage with fabric shawl
Gearman mask, cranium complete
At this point I have to go back to the drawing board. The Gearman is supposed to be a steampunk inspired automaton, and I don’t know how to ornament the mask in order to achieve this effect. I want to add cheek pieces, but I don’t know if they will be large flat panels, or just a bit of scrollwork or ornamentation with fabric underneath to cover my face. The mask is very tight and a little uncomfortable to get on, but I can breathe and see out of it, though the line of sight is very reduced.
