This is a tribute to a Psychedelic Ambience group called Shpongle. The mask is their symbol for all their albums. This mask was based on what it looked like on their "Are You Shpongled?" album, which was their 1st.This was made using Plaster Strips, and used a plastic facial mold as the base for the face. Originally the mouth was closed, but I modded the plaster mold afterwards by cutting the mouth and elongating it to form the open mouth. Same with the extra eyes. The Crest was made using wire for structure, and then plastered over. Each of the beard pieces was outlined using wire, and then plastered over.The paint was a mix of white, red, and blue. These are earlier pictures, as I later drybrushed it with white to make it brighter and lighter. Each piece of the beard was brushed with blue watercolor to accent shadow, as was the inbetween of the wisps.It's more of a ornament than an actual mask, but I can always cut out the back and double it as a mask (though its maybe a little too fragile for that).Other view is here: [link]
