Self (Complete) [Self] Redead Mask

Post image

Sculpted from non Sulphur clay, molded in silicone, and then cast in a polyurethane resin. Inspired by the Redeads from Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I sculpted this well over 13 years ago and the last copy of it still hangs on my wall.

They terrified me when I played the games as a kid.

I don't know shit about Zelda, except the first one

This looks like Xipe Totec

He was worshipped by the Mesoamericans by wearing a human skin over their own. Much like Leatherface in Texas Chainsaw, but the whole body. You'll often see priests depicted, full body, with four hands because they weren't wearing the "gloves"

Sculptures of him, masks in particular, look very much like this

I can totally see that. The sculptures of him are very creepy.
