Good evening all!
i wanted to create a Deathstroke mask, and was trying figure out how to do it without going through the whole mold/cast/mold process (as I have never done that...yet). Then I spotted a vid on YouTube on doing one from an Iron Man mask. So, I went for it.
i started with the mask and some air-dry clay. I start with filling seams, the front of the mouth slit and the "dip" in the face plate.
Then after a basic sanding I applied a secondary layer to fill in more gaps/spaces and give the eyes a little rounding. (Side-by-side with original for perspective)
Then I let it dry and sanded it down as smooth as I could.
i applied the matte black spray paint in three layers. Then I hit a snag when dropping the orange on - my painters tape took the black off. So I decided to use press and seal wrap. It wasn't perfect but I smoothed the line with a black paint pen. Also, the clay sort of drew up and crack in places so I'll probably use bondo next go round.
Next I need to dye the red straps and create a bit of battle scarring before I apply a clear coat. I also want to build a back piece to get a more helmet-like feel but I've hit a wall on that. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

And I'm sorry about the pics - some posted inline (as intended) and the rest hit thumbnail status, possibly due to size?
