My First Predator Mask/bio Helmet Build (Updated 8/14/2012)

[XilianX2010]

Okay, So I have bought 20 lbs of clay, scultping tools, and ordered a head manikin online and will epect in bout 3 or 5 days. Once it arrives, I'll start my first Predator mask. I'm not a terrific sculpter, by far, but wish to do this badly.
I'll purchase Lush Latex later, and all the materials I need for my foam dreadlocks. Also I'll get a air brush at Michaels soon for half price once it's my pay day. I'll update pictures as soon as I can once I start, and really wish for the admin's tips and advice while sculpting, because I know this will be difficult and take awhile.

I'm not doing a full body yet, just the mask, Bio, and the hands/wrist bracers (If it goes smoothy)

So, I hope you guys will follow my post, and enjoy my first project

Sorry for the delay everyone, my manikin head didn't arrive on time. But today it did, and got right to work on getting started on my scuplt. I'm starting off witht he basic overall shape, then I'll go into detail later. Here's what I have so far. Sorry it isn't the best, I'm new at thi type of stuff.
Sorry for blurry pictures, I only have my ipod camera to take pics with.
Admins, I'm looking forward to your advice and feedback, please share. And everyone is welcome to share too

Okay, I've gotten more done. My next step was dreadlock holes. I was starting out adding clay to form holes, but then to an alternitive route, making it more realistic as it should look. I made 32 hole for 32 dreadlocks. I added more clay to the back of his head so when I created the holes, i would reach the manikin head underneath.

Pleeeease give some feedback people, pleeease!

Sorry everyone for the very late update! I've been doing many things with my project, but haven't been posting pics. I tried going for a latex wrist bracer, but failed on my first attempt with plaster. I'm doing better with my mask. Here's the pics

Well I pulled the mold but to much clay stuck to the front part and the back part is to much borken. :/ But i'll be purchsing some oil based clay soon, hopefully making a better sculpt, and do a better plastering job.
