UPDATED! My first Predator mask!

[KalleKatten]

Hi all! I recieved my Bambooie dreads and P2 beads today. (Thanks again Joe!)
So I thought I'd show you my first Pred!

So, here it is. I call it "Retardator" because it's my first mask I've ever done in my entire life, what so ever, and it looks kinda retarded
No but I'm not 100% happy with it. It doesn't look nearly as good as most of the masks I've seen here but hey, it's my first mask, I must be atleast a little pleased with how it turned out

Note to self: Still learning!

The sculpt:
Actually, I've never sculpted anything before (Other than playdo in pre-school LOL) so I'm surprised that I at least came up with this



And the almost finished mask:

I tried to do my own version of Grusderks jaw system, but alot safer and durable. It worked nicely without the latex mask over it, but not at all when I put it inside the latex mask. Atleast it holds the mandibles together!
And yeah, the teeth. Um, they kinda came of, so I'll be fixing it tomorrow

Ignore my brother in the background, he's an alien! Haha.

The paint-up is not very good either but my next mask will look alot better

Tell me what you think

SO! I've painted the beads (not done with the bone beads) and put them in place. Just wanted to show you guys

Soon I'll be starting my first body suit. As Arnold said; stick around

Thanks!

I say it looks good even if it's for your first time. Keep up the build, you inspire other newbs, like me

Thanks I will!
I hope I do, cuz everyone on The Lair who've made their own mask is inspirational to me

For being your first mask and sculpture ever, it is actually a pretty good one. And the paintjob too.

Du kan bara bli bättre härifrån! Så öva, öva, öva!

Its a heck of a lot better than I could do and for a first try to look that good is an achievement in itself. Well done you should be proud.

Thanks alot! I'm impressed by it too, didn't think I could pull it off that good for a first time!
At first I kinda dissliked 'cause it didn't look that accurate, but all you guys are so supportive and nice so now I'm really pleased with the result! can't wait to start on the suit and armor
