My alter ego is one that represents its emotions through color and lavish stones and gems. My alter ego has the pride of an eagle and the swiftness of a fox. He is calm and collected, and is unmoved from emotional distresses. By using hard edges and smooth planes I was able to render the nose in the form of a beak. Then by cutting out around the eyes it was possible for me to give the overall contour of a human eye without being able to see through the eyes and into my alter ego. I feel that I successfully created an alter persona that depicts what i wanted to say through my piece. It's not just about the mask itself, but the colors and the patterns that are inscribed in the mask.The colors represent the whole emotional spectrum and complications my alter ego had to overcome to be the proud winged creature he is today.
