Description
Started on this sculpt a while back and then realized I wanted to remap the geometry to get rid of some of the stretching before I could finish it. So... its remained unfinished for awhile until I can figure out the best way to do that.

The Hannya mask is used in many noh and kyogen Japanese plays. It portrays the souls of women who have become demons due to obsession or jealousy.

The mask is said to be dangerous and demonic, but also sorrowful and tormented, displaying the complexity of human emotions. When the actor looks straight ahead, the mask appears frightening and angry; when tilted slightly down, the face of the demon appears to be sorrowful, as though crying.
