Prop design for the movie Hellboy (2004): Kroenen's mask.

These are the first two masks I designed for Kroenen. The first one is totally based on Mike Mignola's comic designs and the second one has some modifications to enrich its look and make it look more sophisticated and with more detail.

This Mask design was used in the final scene of the movie, when Hellboy punches Kroenen and the mask is destroyed. It is one of my favorite designs, as I put much more of myself than in the previous design based on Mignola's art.

At Guillermo del Toro's request, I designed some masks with a bit more of an insect look. I guess I didn't get the expected result or it wasn't the right direction.

To change direction and offer some totally different alternatives, I designed some leather masks with respirators and other small mechanical elements.

In this design I thought it would be interesting to show a part of Kroenen's facial anatomy through a transparent mask. Perhaps it would have been more interesting if the rest of the mask had been made of metal...

This is the last mask design I made. Guillermo del Toro's instructions: a kind of Venetian mask Kroenen style, with respirators and some technology. I must say that the final result on screen made me fall in love.
