Phantom of the Opera
For his styling I wanted it to follow the theme of the original costume but I wanted to put a different twist onto it. After researching I found a style called 'Steampunk'.
"Steampunk is a genre which came into prominence during the 1980s and early 1990s and incorporates elements of science fiction, fantasy, alternate history, horror, and speculative fiction. It involves a setting where steam power is widely used—whether in an alternate history such as Victorian era Britain or "Wild West"-era United States, or in a post-apocalyptic time —that incorporates elements of either science fiction or fantasy. Works of Steampunk often feature anachronistic technology, or futuristic innovations as Victorians might have envisioned them, based on a Victorian perspective on fashion, culture, architectural style, and art."
I wanted to make the phantom mask myself. I decided that I would experiment with liquid latex and different molds. In the meantime I looked at possible shading techniques for the face uncovered by the mask and also how best to shade the mask in to give it a really sinister deathly look.
