It's been a while since I posted pictures of the mask I'm working on, but here's an update. I basically finished the sculpture in mid-January, but I wanted to get some dreads so I knew exactly what size to make the holes.
Anyway, I finished the Ultracal 30 mold last week, and I did the latex cast last weekend. Here's a picture of the raw mask, as I'm wearing it:
I'm going to have to fix those top teeth, because they came out really badly in the latex.
I'm in the process of painting it. Here's the base coat:
By the way, I had trouble getting the paint color right. The first one was way too yellowish-brown, while the second was still too yellow. I think I finally came up with a color that looked decent... except it still looks a bit on the yellow side. I didn't want to have to mix paint a fourth time, though.
That round disc in the middle is a steel washer. I'm going to use them with magnets in the bio to hold it on while I'm wearing it.
I started painting the spots this evening. Here are a couple pictures:
I was going for a really dark brown on the spots. I can't tell from the reference materials if they're supposed to be really dark brown, or just pure black.
Any comments?
