My mask was based off of the movie “Predator”. In the movie the character hunts aliens. So I thought this would be a good representation for Jack and his hunters in the book the “Lord of the Flies”. I came to this choice not only I’ve been wanting to make a mask like this but because the look and feeling of the mask has a dark and threatening look to it.
