#shining mask

There’s a concert I’m going to in a few hours and it’s Midnight at my place so I drew this.

Current projects! Me as Wug and a Scott as a crew mate from ”In Space with Markiplier” and Owen as a grunt ultra and Scott as a Spartan from halo! No deadlines at the moment as these are projects we’re not willing to rush, but there’s been a lot of initial progress! More pics to come! Lots of big projects with a lot of armor.

More experiments with making custom mask sets

He folks if you are like me you might have been getting a lot of ads for that "Shining Mask" on facebook in some renamed form or another. I'm going to call it the Shining mask because that's the name of the app that they all use (it's the same mask just resold by like a billion companies at this point)

One of it's biggest features is that you can make your own custom mask by taking photos or uploading images.

except its super clunky and very hit or miss particularly when making your own art for it. So I made a template that gets really close and can help get that perfect look.

Tada! this template is transparent (or should be) and is 3.9x5" (9.9x12.7cm) give or take a pixel. I recommend making the art on a separate layer and making the outline invisible as the black lines can cause random light artifacts on the mask particularly around the eyes.

Also worth noting is that the images once uploaded to the app look completely off sized in the app itself but will look just fine in the end result without any sort of crop readjustment.

I've also noticed that very bold lines and area's of color work best as it down scales to the much more limited pixel display of the mask.

I also recommend if there is any area you want black just leave that area transparent as this will keep the lights off using less battery power and keep the mask from using a low grey light that washes out some of the detail you might want.

Also try to avoid super light colors as they tend to just turn into a puddle of light as with this iron man mask I tried

you also get bushy eyebrows because of the actual eye holes.

anyway that's all for my ted talk, here are a couple more masks for you to have fun with.

My phone is acting wired but in theory this should show my custom shining mask concept
