I'm visiting my parents in east Tennessee, but I found a bit of time to sketch today while my mom read a book and my dad did some garden-puttering. It's possible that this is my last set of mask renderings. I'm fairly sure which six i want to do out of the twelve i've drawn thus far...
These are the Captain and the Doctor, aka Il Capitano and Il Dottore. I really love these guys! It's really cool how a lot of these stock characters have some conventional or standardized features, but are still so manipulatable in terms of imposing your own style on them.
Il Capitano is either proud/conceited or angry/piratical; i obviously picked the angry/piratical version. I'm envisioning his stache as being some kind of actual fur or hair so that it has some movement.
Il Dottore is based on the birdlike plague doctor mask in this case, but i also wanted to evoke the worried, befuddled old-man-like quality that some Dottore masks i've seen have. I'm undecided about his eyebrows--i've seen some great Dottores with fluffy fiber brows, which might be a fun element to add to him.
Now that you've seen all twelve renderings of these, which is your favorite?
