My 3rd Concept - NYC

This has to be my second favourite mask that I've developed - the first, being one that I designed recently (which you'll have to stay tuned for, for a while to come!)

I illustrated the artwork for this mask in four and a half hours - and a total of 3228 strokes!

I just love how the King Kong design on the left side of the shell turned out - Kong scaling the Empire State Building, with the Statue of Liberty at his side.

I also threw in a couple more pop culture references that I'm a fan of, including:

• Spiderman,
• The Watchmen's Comedian logo, and
• A graffiti of the word "Jungle" displayed on a brick wall

Can you guess what this last reference is from? Hint: It's a well-known song by a popular artist from NYC! (Scroll down to reveal the answer).

Anyways, that's it for now! I hope you were inspired by this mask! I also hope that it brought up some ideas for your own artwork, maybe?!

See you around!

Answer: Did you guess it? It's an homage to JAY-Z's, "Empire State of Mind" (feat. Alicia Keys), of course!
