TRADITIONAL JAPANESE MASKS
I was commissioned to elaborate this 3d models!
KITSUNE MASK
The Japanese word kitsune (狐) means "fox", an animal that constitutes an element of singular importance in Japanese folklore, to the extent that this word is used traditionally to name that fox-shaped spirit of the forest, whose classic function is to protect forests and villages.
According to Japanese mythology, the fox is an intelligent being that possesses magical abilities, which are increased with age and the acquisition of knowledge. Otherwise, a kitsune's age, wisdom, and power are also greater as the number of tails increases, the most powerful being the nine-tailed kitsune.
ONI MASK
Oni (鬼?) are creatures of Japanese folklore that share many similarities with Western demons and ogres. They are popular characters in Japanese art, literature, and theater.
ABOUT THE 3D MODELS
These are real size customized models created specially for 3D printing with materials that will be hand painted.
Note: I will update later this project with photographs of the final result!
3D printing requires a lot of patience....
The 3d models had to be divided into 2 pieces to fit the size of the printer, for this I had to do an an assembly process and figure out a design with connection points in the model.
INSPIRATION
I took inspiration from pictures featuring these traditional items in a modern lifestyle.
