Cultural Mask

This mask was created as a combination mask of the Japanese "Okame" mask, a traditional Cambodian mask and a mixture of the Lion masks from China. I took the round faces of the Cambodian demon masks with the high cheekbones of the tiger mask to make the face structure. Instead of making the color of the mask a normal pale "Okame" mask color I used natural colors (with an orangish gold hue from the Cambodian masks) to substitute for the skin. The rest of the decorations represented the "Okame" masks except for the lips which represented the develish smiles of the traditional Cambodian masks. I could have explored further with the Lion Masks furry texture and put them in but I sadly did not do anything with it. I had made the colors very bold to represent the care free state that the mask is in.
