Hello All!
I decided to be brave and try to tackle to make a latex mask of my favorite killer from DBD - The Doctor
I have never made a latex mask on a scale like this before and the last time i made a latex mask was back in my art class , years ago.
From what i can remember we just applied some sort of liquid latex on top of a clay mold and peeled it off.
I'd much rather have a solid mask ,with good details, and one that's form fitting.
Here's some references for you guys

Here's a close up of his face, this is what i plan to make a latex mask of

I've made a mold of my own head out of plaster strips ;sanded the head to get rid of bumps and ridges that formed from the strips.
My heads left ear broke off and i plan to fix it with some clay when i start working on the details on my mold. I plan to change my facial features to look like that of The Doctor's facial features.
Head references before sanding
anotha one
Sanded and patched craters of holes and scratches with (DAP DryDex Spackling)
So I plan on applying clay to my plaster head mold to correct my features and turn them into the doctors.
I plan on making a mold set of my own teeth from this dental video i found. Not sure if making the my own teeth is necessary because i could just carve teeth like shapes into the clay.
Dental video on how i plan to make my teeth(or maybe i'll just carve the shape of teeth out of clay)

I also bought a Dental Retractor so i can press it into the clay and build up a more real look on to my face (so when i get to the latex part of my mask i can just push the retractors back into their spots and glue them permanently to the latex mask.)
Now i have a few questions since this is my first time doing a project like this but if you guys have easier ways of making a latex mask like this your knowledge would greatly be appreciated.
Is there anything i should apply on to my plaster head before i put clay on it? Something like mod podge or wood glue to give it a sort of thin protective layer for it?
Do i have to do a 2-part Hydrocal Plaster mold on top of my clay/plaster head mold to create my silicon mask?
here's a video that i think might work for this mask but im not a 100% sure on

Could i just apply some sort of liquid silicone or latex on top of the clay/plasterhead mold? Is there something thick enough to create what i'm looking for in a process like this or should i stick with my 2-part mold video i suggested?
Then i found these 2 other videos that have the same kind of method but im not exactly sure how that expanding stuff works in the process of making a mask
