Thanks Usurper.
I've re-done the sculpt and have progressed further to the point I already toying with a cheap airbrush. These are all first attempts so forgive me if it is not that good.
I thought I create a "skull" inside the mask to hold its shape. I will insert this inside and figure out how I can keep it on my head. I will probably create a plaster mold of my head and create a helmet to glue this "skull" and my helmet.
To make sure the biomask is going to fit the mask, I used the same clay sculpt of the mask and re-used it to make the sculpt of the biomask.
Here I am trying on the "shades" I bought from a dollar store. It will fit perfectly once I'm done work on the biomask.
Just showing the bio after I've applied bondo filler. I'm currently sanding this and will be doing a bit of adjusting on the thickness of the plaster... some areas are too thin and my sanding is going thru the plaster.
Again, first attempt with airbrushing.
I'm not sure how it will turn out. At this point, these are all experimenting.
I'm not done with the airbrushing. The next day, I purchased a more decent airbrush (Aztek) and I will apply the details (freckels) on the mask and some more details in the mouth. I have not had the chance to use the new airbrush yet. The pics results on that is coming soon.
The only thing I've always have problem with (to be biologically accurate) is why the insides of Predator mouth will have a pink/reddish shade??? Their blood is luminescent green... the insides of mouth should be of green shade, correct? I just thought I'd ask but it's no big deal for me since this is just fiction. I just thought I'd throw that question in.
I hope you enjoy the pics. I also would appreciat any feedbacks. Many of the techniques I've used came from this group. Good thing there are groups like this one to learn how to pursue your hobby.
More power to the lair.
