I Think Baldwins Mask May Have Been Inspired By A Few Things, My Two Guesses Are Ancient Sumerian Sculptures,

i checked both spanish and Portuguese and theres not much difference, unfortunately doesn't really narrow it down

So scrolling through pinterest, I'm wondering.. All the KoH fans I need help finding this film

The version of King Baldwin i created inside my head would never treat me like that

i do not have a great track record rn for historical knowledge but doing some research on this specific art of King Baldwin IV on his deathbed, passing on the crown, i have reason to believe he was still alive when this was created?

Here hes depicted with a halo which can mean many of things, but concidering its square is a big factor here as a square halo often signifies the person was still alive when the art work was being made.

(as shown in this)

Which is wild in a way because imagine being drawn while you are going through the worst fever of your goddamn life??

He knows what he sayin 💅

gotta add details and make his face a lil rounder, but otherwise, its getting there

would anyone be interested in seeing any of my other masks I've made in the past?

its a hobby of mine ive been doing since i was 16/17 :)

had to modify the mask a bit as it wasnt matching my reference photos, lets hope it looks just as good as it did before once im done this thing ;;

silly lil mask update, i attempted to sculpt some features last night and the lips turned out okay, the eyebrows... not, so ignore those xD

next steps are to sand the entire thing (get rid of the polygons) and to possibly make the lips bigger and also, lots of sculpting, which, to mention, ive never sculpted before lol

btw, thank you to those who sent me encouragements with this cosplay, it means alot to me reading your comments and seeing you like the post and im amazed at how many followers i have!
