AlterEgo Mask Update

I said there would be AlterEgo sculpt update and here are a few for you. This is the first in the series, the concept being our Alter Ego Inner Consciousness, inspired by Native Myth and multi cultural stories of shamans and shape shifters.

One of my new favorite movies thanks to T.C. here, happens to be The Island of Dr. Moreau,

1996 Movie Cover, (pics from Wikipedia)

Movie Scene Clip, Hyena (you may recognize Ron Perlman) and Cheetah

The story of a scientist with a god complex who moves to an island where he can manipulate DNA of humans and animals. Seeking the ideal balance of the peaceful creature, he finds he loses control, and that his creations (his "children") must cope with what he has made them, and he realizes too late what he has done.

Powerful inspiration for this new mask/creature line at MWS.

You may notice that this is the Hawk version in this line, and no I did not lose the frontal pics (wow that sounds wrong) those will come before molding this piece. Hey I did say "Teaser Photos".

This mask is designed to move with the features and for one to be able to speak through the beak as they would through lips, since it is sculpted to work with the mouth. Lots of bird research. There are amazing aviary creatures out there. 

I used a mix of inspiration, from Hawks and Falcons to African Ground birds. I wanted this creature to be versatile, able to look fierce ( studying hawks is very useful), or sad or sweet. The idea, really is to have the person wearing this to not just put it on, but to become it, to feel the essence of this realistic fantastic creature.
