Victim Face Mask Skins For Leatherface
So Leatherface needs more skins. I know we’re about to get two new LF skins in the near future, but I’m surprised the devs haven’t taken advantage of what’s in front of them - the playable victims. There are 9 victims and only 4 open spots so the Victim Mask would be selected at random to a victim not in the match. Perhaps the victim on the meat hook in the opening cutscene?
Here are some concept designs I came up with for the Victim Masks and the stories behind them. As if the game were to play out like a movie about the kidnapped Maria, her sister Anna, and their friends who are searching for her.
Connie - She rushes to escape and while picking a padlock, Connie is ambushed and bludgeoned to death by The Cook as evident by the bruising on her face and forehead wound. As a memento, Bubba takes the broken lock and has it connecting the neck piece of Connie’s face mask.
Julie - After a long and intense chase, Julie steps in a trap and is killed by The Hitchhiker who photographs her corpse. Bubba keeps her runny mascara look and adds her necklace to his jewelry collection. He even attaches a breast bib to this mask maybe with or without the bikini top. Leatherface is inspired by Ed Gein after all who was making a full female skin suit.
Sonny - Sissy finds Sonny hiding in a bush, uses her green poison powder on him and murders him there. For this face mask, Sissy makes a flower crown for Bubba made from the bush and nearby flowers Sonny died in. A controversial mask, I know, especially with what happened in DBD. It’d probably never make it into the game, but I didn’t want to exclude Sonny and liked the idea behind this mask.
Leland - He takes the fight to the Family. Having lost Julie, he helps the others survive as long as possible until he sacrifices himself, giving them a chance to escape. Johnny tracks down Leland, stabs and punches him to death. He fought hard and Bubba loves to wear Leland’s face while tormenting Anna’s friends.
Danny - He visits Nancy’s house looking for his missing girlfriend, Maria. Here he is snatched by the Family and ultimately is choke slammed and hammered to death by Hands while opening up an escape for Anna. The childlike Bubba peels the top of Danny’s head off, trying to find his knowledge. Bubba then uses a cog wheel from the tampered objective to help keep Danny’s eyelid peeled open. And of course, Bubba had to keep a patch of Danny’s chest hair.
Virginia - She visits the Family House looking for her missing son Jessie where she discovers Maria is still alive. She uses her experience as a nurse to help Maria who escapes and reunites with Anna. Virginia is able to blind Sissy at one of the powder stations and beats Sissy to death with the mortar and pestle. Hitchhiker takes Sissy’s straight razor to remember her. Sadly, Virginia finds Grandpa slurping on her dead son’s blood. Horrified, Virginia flees and steps in a barbed wire trap and is killed by Nancy. Mother vs Mother. Bubba uses Virginia’s blue blinding powder to add makeup around her eyes and sews her mouth shut. No more yelling for her missing son.
Wyatt - While mourning his dead brother at the graveyard, Wyatt encounters the fleeing sisters. He fights off Bones with his throwing knives, allowing the sisters to unflood the area. Hands tries to prevent it, but is washed away and drowns. In the end, Wyatt is chased by Bones and both are killed in a gore bomb detonation. Bubba really likes wearing this handsome face even if he had to piece it together after the explosion. He steals Wyatt’s belt buckle and cowboy boots as well.
Anna and Maria - Anna brought her friends to Muerto County to find her missing sister Maria, but all they found was death. Casualties on both sides. Nancy orders Johnny to kill the sisters and clean up this mess he made, but instead he turns on and kills Nancy, the woman who kidnapped him as a baby and raised him cruelly. Johnny is chased off by The Cook and Hitchhiker, leaving Leatherface to finish off the sisters. Now Anna and Maria can be one forever with both of their faces stitched together.
I know these will probably never be in the game, but it was something fun to do and more for my own creativity.
