Hello RPF,
My name is Matt but I go by many names hah. The most recent being Porthos and Cubone. This is my first thread here on the RPF but I am a member of several others!
I have been a costume builder for 6+ years now but 5 of them were spent building chainmail, plate and leather armor for medieval reenactment and education at the highschool I went to. When I came to college I began experimenting with pepakura and all those fun methods that go along with it. I began with Halo builds and have build various Halo Helmets over the last 2 years.
I then shifted gears and began to build a Boba Fett costume. That is a constant battle as I keep changing my mind on how picky about details I want to be >.< But I am still currently working on this and my helmet is almost ready to be molded and cast.
But this was put on hold as I found a new love.
Dead Pool.
After seeing many costumes on here and online, and FINALLY getting to read more than 60 of his comics....I fell in love. Needless to say I went and bought some oil clay and began my first attempt at a sculpt. I am doing a more serious version with smaller eyes rather than the huge dinner plate sized ones.
So this is the clay sculpt. He is currently painted and awaiting me to get home from classes so I can mold him. I am super excited!
My plans for this mask are as follows. I'm going to make a so called "sock mask" out of a painters hood and the latex 1/2 to 1/4 mask..whatever you want to call it...that I will be casting. Once this is blended I will add fabric over the entire thing. My goal here is to create a flexible under structure that is WAY different than my own, but will hopefully still show some movement.
I am really excited to be a part of your community and I look forward to hearing what you all have to say! I will update this thread as soon as I make progression!
