Photo Study #27: Tovarisch

One of Lucio Giambi's most trusted lieutenants, Yvgeny Umaskaya was a Ukrainian underworld boss in his own right. Due to circumstances beyond anyone's control or comprehension, the stone-cold killer's life was saved by the young American crime lord. Yvgeny emigrated to America and uses any means necessary to restrict access of the Ukranian Mafia (the Malina) to Lucio's current or future businesses.

"Superhero" mask by Yves Gravelle of Metamorphoses Masks; hairing by Yves as well.

Yves is an absolute pleasure to work with - the "Superhero" mask is one of his first creations and he's made many improvements since introducing him. The bib design is excellent and there are extremely well-built-up traps on this mask that really add that extra dimension of verisimilitude to the realistic illusion. Paintjob and hairing are also top-notch and his design of the eye scar was something I hadn't asked for, but added so much character! 

Eye fitment is extremely good; the only slight drawback for this mask is the lip fitment; it's more along the original SPFX masks than more modern examples from Realflesh or Studio 135... but Yves had vastly improved on this area with the "Soul Man" (a later mask) - and I am positive that more improvements will be on the way on his new creations!
