I really wasn't happy with the first version of this so I've gone back and made a few alterations. This is not a resculpt just a bit of minor surgery!
Firstly this is a wearable mask where as the first one was a quick display bust for one of the 'Invasion' events. It is surprisingly comfortable to wear and visibility is good too.
Secondly the pupils in the eyes were too small so I painted in some larger ones using the same iridescent powders.
Thirdly, using the same mould I have extended the eyelids so they don't look quite so bug eyed, and has that more laid back Admiral Ackbar look.
And lastly, I changed the skin tone. Taking the colours down a few notches.
Like I said only minor changes but It has made the mask a little more accurate.
As you can see from the pics-

Cool. Always loved Ackbar. However, there's a part of me that can't quite
shake the feeling that he might have opened the door for Jar Jar somehow.
 
They both look great, but the new one with the mouth a bit more open does look better.
 
The shield is down! Commence attack on the death stars main reactor!

Great work, it looks excellent.
 
That's great. Do you see out of the mouth?

Thanks guys, yep there is pretty good visibility out of the mouth and the nostrils add a little more air. I bonded in a mesh that hides your eyes but it can be flipped out for that emergency sip of water/whisky! lol

Is it just me, or is the 2.0 a bit more forward facing than the other? The first seems to be staring up at the sky...
