The Servant

The Mask:

MalDukKi | Portrayed as a servant in the old traditional plays. Here is more of an aesthetic description of the mask from mask.org – "Much larger than other masks. Its nose extending from the brow to the jaws is big, producing a young and rebellious image. Thus, its appearance overwhelms Yangban. In particular, [MalDukKi] Tal is aesthetically outstanding. The mask has several characteristics in its shape including the ground color of the face, the big ears and fat earlobes."

The Character:

This character has an overwhelming loyalty to his friends. Although not very bright, he's very practical at times. He keeps things simple.

The Weapon:

SMG from CS. Often this character's practicality can often be confused as being extremely cheap. He doesn't like to spend money, but will spend enough to get the job done.



Got a few other characters in mind for this series, but will be taking a slight break to work on some other illustrations. Stay tuned, folks.

The Sniper

The Mask:

The Drunk Monk| Choegwari, the dissolute old Buddhist monk character from Eunyul Talchul. He drinks alcohol and lusts after young women. In the old traditional dances Choegwari is shown feasting, drinking and reveling in his wealth. The fullness of his chin shows that he loves food.

The Noble.

Let's get back to some illustration, shall we?

A little history from Wikipedia:

"Talchum is a Korean dance and drama performed while wearing a mask and singing. It is not just a dance performed by masked dancers but also a drama with masked characters portraying persons, animals or supernatural beings. These folk dramas reflect the antipathy and resentment felt by the common people towards the nobility, due to the latter's harsh and severe treatment of the commoners."

The Character:

The Aristocrat | the Korean mask on my dude is called Yang-ban, which means aristocrat. By definition an aristocrat is "regarded as the best...of its kind". He is our main character.
