Hannya Mask Rurouni Kenshin (Ninja)

I crafted this Hannya mask as an homage to Rurouni Kenshin, one of my all-time favorite anime shows. I've always been captivated by the mask's sleek design and wanted to give it a try. Using Fusion 360, I brought my vision to life. Hannya is an elite Oniwabanshū Ninja who operates under Shinomori Aoshi's command. His forte lies in espionage and deception. He employs a unique fighting style that leverages steel gloves and horizontal stripes on his sleeves, as well as retractable claws reminiscent of Wolverine. The stripes create an optical illusion, making it seem like his arms are shorter than they actually are, allowing him to outmaneuver skilled fighters like Kenshin. By reshaping his face, crushing his cheekbones and removing his nose, lips, and ears, Hannya achieves a grotesque appearance that enables him to "don any disguise atop his own."
