Alien Maquette "Gorith" Version 2

3D maquette of a character i had to do for my concept class. Stands about 11" tall and is super sculpey painted with acrylic, removable folded aluminum plate armour and felt garments.

 If you follow my blog at all you may recognize this character from a few years ago. The "Gorith" as I've called them have been an alien race I've been on and off creating for the

last 15 years of my life. Recently being reinvented: this is the most advanced version to date.

"Hey Bats!"

I had to design a hard surface prop for my Concept class and because of my love for ancient masks and the fact my roommate bought the new Arkham City I was inspired to make create this Joker style Hannya mask.

"The Hannya mask is a mask used in Japanese Noh theater, representing a jealous female demon or serpent. It possesses two sharp bull-like horns, metallic eyes, and a leering mouth split from ear to ear."

PS I'm going to print one but I cant choose my favorite. Suggestions?

Siren

Intaglio print, scanned and reworked digitally. Been reading to much mythology lately: she..he...it is kinda a mix of several entities of classical Greek Mythology. Could be Eros, could be a Siren, or maybe a harpy...
