Re: MCL34N's WIP Amazing Spidey Mask- Updated- Wearing the Mask (Pic Heavy)
Thanks everyone! I'm blown away by the positive reaction! I suppose I should answer some of your questions...
First off, yes I just applied all of the brick pattern and webbing by hand using puff paint. The light table was to trace a piece of honeycomb mesh that I got from the fabric store. It did take several hours, but I look around this forum and see all of the hard work people put into sanding and bondoing their pep, and I realized a few hours of painting on fabric isn't so bad
As far as the recessed look goes, that comes down to two things. First, the honeycomb pattern was laid on as thick as the webbing, giving it a very even look. Second, you'll notice in the pics of the suit we have that around all of the webbing there is about 1 mil. of bright red. I imagine they designed it this way for some sort of practicality, maybe printing silicone on top of silicone wasn't working. It serves well as an optical illusion though, making it look like the webbing is recessed inside the fabric. Hope that helps!
As far as an update, I rushed the paint job on my lenses and frames and it came out pretty crappy, so I'm casting some new ones. Really glad I made those molds! Should have some pics of the finished mask in a day or two
