I originally wanted to do an African tribal type war mask made of wood, but I figured it might look too cartoony.

So yeah,
Influenced by african style war masks (ceremonial or not) to scare away your enemies or keep delinquent villages people in check.

I liked working on this because it was a weapon , but not a gun or blade or anything. I guess this is more for psychological warfare. strike fear into your enemies etc.

So what's scarier?
50 guys with AKs?
or 50 guys with AKs wearing these masks?

if anyone's confused, the two images to the right are the final versions. The one to the left id just a version without the normal maps. I'll post the zbrush scuplt tomorrow.

Nice one. I have to admit, facing fifty guys with AKs would be scary but facing fifty guys with AKs and that mask would have anyone shitting themselves.

I think some of the normal details should have been used to accentuate the cracks that exist in the diffuse.

And there seems to be a bit of UV stretch in the upper right. I don't remember if zbrush has a clone-stamp thing like photoshop but if it does it would be good to use there.

Other than that, I like it. But I am curious to see what a good wood texture would look like on it.
And maybe a little tribal war paint.
