I'm going to be taking part in a local Halloween art show next month. The overall theme of this year's show is "unmasked." So I had an idea for a large picture that would have 2 rows of faces. The upper row would be superheroes, rendered in a heroic style. The lower row would be the same people unmasked, done in a more realistic, mundane treatment. The idea would be to show the person in two different contexts for ironic, sometimes comedic effect.
For example a Statesman-like character would be shown steely jawed, powerful, determined on the top row. Beneath, they might be holding their mask/helmet...along with a fresh steak on their black eye. Or they may be popping Tylenol 3s.
I'm not looking for people's game characters to use for this. I'm looking for actual people to serve as models. When I get the group of faces that I think will work for the piece, I'll develop the heroic and mundane versions off of the reference images. There are a bunch of people that offer this kind of stock on deviantart, but given the theme I thought I'd throw it out here to see if anyone is interested in participating.
If you want to be considered you can post ref here, or link to a gallery somewhere, or pm me with the location to find it. I can't guarantee I'll use it, because I'll need to balance the image as a whole and will need to take that into consideration when choosing. But I'll let people know as soon as I've chosen and if I get a lot of ref I may do an additional piece at a later date.
Ideal ref would be a 2 closeups of your face with good lighting and clearly different expressions.
