Rarely do I use props, but I liked this demon mask.

Too plain...  Too static.  I think I would re-do it in low-key with lighting emphasis on the mask and letting the body fall into darkness.

Initial reaction on the b/w version:   I'm feeling a vibe from another era, if that's what You were going for.

I like the color one more than the b&w. Cheeky vibes. I'd put that on my wall

That's not really what I do. Too photographic.

Not what I'm going for, but I see what you mean. Makes me lean towards the color.

Between the two, the color version has more depth and feels more consistent with the vibe of "VOID."   The B&W, while interesting, is less strong within the context of that theme (background crinkle draws the eye away a smidge. in the conversion.)  That is all.)  Very nice work.

Ah, but I see from your portfolio that it IS what you do.

The rest of your work is dynamic and/or edgy. This is not. And the mask doesn't work, IMO.

It doesn't add anything to your body of work in a useful way. I would drop it.

Point taken. Now that I think about it, it really doesn't belong in my website.

Just added a color version to MM for reference.

I agree that this is less dynamic than the others. Although I still like this one.. more than the others. I can see this one hung up in a well decorated speakeasy
