I know you don’t want to limit people’s imagination but could you give me an idea of how much variation there typically is between the masks of different lotogh tribes? I’m designing a mask and I was trying to imitate the aesthetic of Alibaba’s since his is the only frame of reference but now I’m worried it looks too similar. Are there any materials that are commonly used to make them (Alibaba’s looks like bone or ivory with metal embellishments) or are they usually crafted in a particular way?
Lotogh masks are usually made of ivory or bone – Alibaba’s mask is unique and more “industrial” so it has metal embellishments, when in reality the masks would usually just have paint or paint designs.
For reference, I would look up “venetian animal masks”, these ones in particular are what inspires me when designing lotogh masks:
