So, a little over a year ago I subscribed to the RFP to help make my first Batman Cowl. After I got to the mold/casting stage, I made the stupid mistake of sealing plaster to the eyes of my head base. Long story short, it was trashed, but I learned a lot.
Fast forward to now.
I am looking to make an original batman with a semi-classic, practical look. I'm drawing inspiration from TDKR and my own personal imagination, but ultimately I am going for a resin sculpt that can be fitted over the head, and clasped underneath the chin with an elastic strap. This way it gives it a slight armored look while maintaining a classic feel. Batman would be able to take a bullet to the head without having a complex mechanism like in Arkham Knight.
Any tips for going about this? I want to cast in resin ultimately (to give that armored look), but I never have done so before. If I make the gap for my head too narrow, will it be hard to shave off/cut away some of it to fit? Would latex be better? Any help appreciated.
Some concepts and progress attached. Look forward to some comments from you experts :3 Ignore the one where it is a full shouldered cowl. This is for a helmet/head only.
Thank you so much
