Jalopy Mask by duskysam (critique requested)

Jalopy Mask (critique requested)

duskysam

I finished this toony mask in early October, and actually debuted it at a local haunted attraction's Clown rooms for two performances. It was interesting to have so many people see it live in that way, and I had fun trying out different performance tactics to keep it fresh for myself. Realistically he is better suited to theater or film productions, as he wasn't meant to be a horror character. The theme of the haunt was that of an insane asylum, so in that way he sort of fit in given that he isn't all there. But he isn't a scary sort, at least to me.

Although I haven't taken any complete costume pics yet, my intention is to stage several arty portraits of him when I have caught up with all the studying I didn't do all through Halloween time. The props I made for him are being refurbished after taking some punishment at the haunt, so lots of possibilities here!

      He did turn out pretty silly! Not sure how many customers at the haunt thought he was cute, but he wasn't a real threat to be sure!

      I tried out a couple of voices, and have a ways to go before I feel fully satisfied with a particular sound. And if someone else was to play Jalopy they would have their own spin on it, which suits me fine! So far, talking through a kazoo was the most amusing version I have done.
