mask

A figure with three legs and a face made of two masks, each mask itself half a face. It looks as though one three-legged person—or maybe one one-legged person next to a two-legged person—are standing behind two giant half-faced masks, holding them together. The eyes of both masks are empty; one seems to be a hole with light behind it, one is totally dark. This bizarre assemblage stands outside, the suggestions of grass and cloud around it.

A black, furry, slightly hunched over creature dances while juggling balls. The creature is wearing a mask that looks vaguely like a jester's face and cap, except more minimal and eerie: blank and white, with black holes for eyes and a mouth.

A large person wearing a shirt, a tie, a vast overcoat, and heavy military boots stands alone. The person's head is shaved; they have an analog clock for a face. Pinned to the overcoat is a wild, ostentatious array of various medals, pins, and badges.

A furry, slightly disheveled creature, wearing suspenders and a sandwich board with an icon on it that looks like a vague blend of the bitcoin symbol and a dollar sign. The creature's face is covered by a sinister smiley-face mask with perfect teeth and empty eyes. The creature is doffing a top hat with a clown horn affixed to it via a spring, and also ringing a bell, like a carnival barker. The creature is slightly hunched, trudging along a barren landscape with sparse grass. This is totally not a passive-aggressive reference to the crypto scammers who have been making a particular nuisance of themselves lately.

A mask with glowing green eyes and an unsettling smile, surrounded by bits of debris and rocks. The mask is illuminated by an iridescent greenish light, the source unseen. The light is also reflecting off the rocks and debris.

Someone wearing a very unique diving suit walks on the ocean floor. The suit has furry pant legs, a giant blue glass sphere for a faceplate, and a fedora, because one doesn't relinquish one's fashion sensibilities simply because one is at the bottom of the sea. The suit is connected to something by a black hose extending off the top of the screen. There are fish swimming near the figure.

A person stands on a very tall stool, painting a giant canvas. Rather than being placed on an easel, the canvas is held by a huge, furry monster. The monster's head is behind the canvas. The image on the canvas shows a figure wearing a suit and tie, but the figures head is a simple, round smiley emoji. The placement of the canvas and figure lines up precisely with where the monster's head and shoulders would be, almost as though the canvas is a mask for the monster. Which, perhaps...is one of the purposes of art? [Murmurs of approval in the faculty lounge]

A sinister figure wearing a hat and trench coat stares suspiciously at a vast, masklike face growing out of its left side.

A giant werewolf-like monster stands in two legs, raising its arms over its head. Its hands are huge and clawed. In place of a face is a smiling emoji with eyes for hearts.

A furry monster with high-tech facial gear and multiple horns (three to be precise) wears a mask that looks like Apple's "smug smile" emoji

A child's face, with a four-way game pad in the forehead and two buttons, A and B, on the left cheek.

Two masks: both half a face, positioned side by side to form a whole. One is smiling, one is frowning; one is gray with a red eye, one is red with a gray eye and gray teeth.

Two masks stacked on top of each other, forming an eerie house. A person stands in the eye/window of the upper one, blowing bubbles.

A vast, carved figure stands on a wall with a small tag next to it, as though it's in a museum. Disturbingly, the base of it is split open, and a thick tail emerges from the hole in the wall.

A face, where one half is a vaguely machinelike human face and the other half, which appears to be under the first half, is clearly a machine
