Description Sooo, a friend of mine likes the Happy Mask character from that Zelda game (Majora's Mask?) and he jokingly challenged me to make a background for the ONE existing concept picture for him. Little did he know I would take him up on this. O.o

Happy Mask was a terribly mean guy to make a background for. He has so many bold colors on him I was about ready to bleach his face to see him cry. D< o_o But, I think the background came out well, although it is flat in comparison to the Happy Mask figure in the picture.

I don't know how to give texture to the background yet! >.<

Sooo, I pulled all the colors from Happy Mask himself. The hardest part was finding a background color to start with that would be a good base. =O I think it did eventually come from his face somewhere. I blurred Happy Mask throughout to soften him up a bit.

This background took about two hours to make. <_< With all the difficulty of finding a flattering base for the background, etc.

Disclaimer: Clearly, I don't own the Happy Mask Salesman!
I pulled a name off of Wiki, so here: Shigeru Miyamoto I think and Nintendo hold the rights to this cooky guy.

Comments are loved. <3

There was once the people that live but whose names are forgotten by history and now they are forgotten except by very few they are now known simply as " the ancient ones". the one who knows the most about them one a man of questionable morals, as a man known as “the happy mask salesman” the “Ancient Ones” according to him had in their time performed dark rituals involving an evil mask,"

He's Probably Immortal by now... damn him...
There's a Mask he "borrowed" from me...
I must have it back....
He is an inter-dimensional being... so he is nearly impossible to find...
Does anyone know where he is now...?
He is still working for me....... curse him......................................................
