Those are pretty neat

Trapper Rob:
Those are very nice.

Jodocus:
Thanks all. I'm practising and still have quite a way to go. Yet to make a full size wearable mask, too.

Switzerland has a rich culture of carved Fastnacht-masks. Fastnacht is the carneval festivities to drive out winter. These old masks I find very inspiring. For mine, I chose a more african approach to the eyes, though.

Run a pic search for "Tschäggätä" or "Krienser Maske" if you wanna see some. Regrettably, ever since the Lord of the Rings movies, all newly produced masks are the same old orc. Same is true for the austrian "Krampus" and "Percht" that is part of the Fastnacht, as well.

Stoner:
Great character in each, nice job. John
