Whoah,that's an awesome work there

thats her real face dude .. she just stripped the skull to re-flesh it ;)

( in seriousness - this mask is epic to see in person ! more to come ! )

Yes that is my real face. Don't try to deny it or I will cry

Also that coffee looks suspiciously like a beer mug. I think it's beer in denial. It doesn't taste like coffee either.

Nice mask dude.

Holy crap, this is AMAZING. the way it fits and allows your hair to flow out (or is the darker hair in front attached to the mask? ...either way though) looks awesome... it really looks like it's your real face.
Also, i think this is just about the only time i've seen an 'animal' mask with this kind of eye arrangement that didn't look slightly off. (human eyes are like, too close together, and it usually looks weird when they become the eyes of a larger face)
Are you going to wear black facepaint around your eyes when you're done or anything? I'm just wondering if the eye sockets there are supposed to be like ...evil-creepy empty eyes. I guess i should just wait and see...

But yes... good job so far, This is rad. :3

Hey, thanks. All the hair is mine :D I tried to make it so it would fit to my hairline.
Black face paint is probably a good idea. I can make an unlimited number of these now, having made the mold for it, so I'll paint a few up in different color schemes and see which works best.
I should have pictures up soon enough of the finished result :)
Thank you!

where, how, what....did you make this with?! gah this is amazing!

Originally sculpted it in plasticine, and cast this in latex. I now need to line the insides with something so it supports its own weight better.
Thank you!

Is there a way to cure plasticine so it hardens, or do you just have to be careful after you're done, when casting?

The plasticine sculpture was destroyed in the mould making process, so you're just left to hope that things turn out okay from there. There are other ways to do it, but this seemed the easiest to me, and I just wanted to try something fairly simple to begin with. Will probably play around with other techniques in the future.

Awesome shape and everything, I'll bet it will look lvery lifelike when complete! What kind of materials are used? I really look forward to the finished work!

It does look a LOT better in person. The photo didn't really capture the details at all :p Hopefully those will show up better when I paint it.
This is just cast in latex.
Thanks!

This looks spectacular! Lots of detail on the face structure. Lookin' pretty realistic to me!
How long would you say it has taken you to get this far with it?

I'm not sure, overall. I've been working on it since January though, usually just an hour or two a day when I've had the time.
Thank you!

we'll probably look at ways of solidifying it today - Zara makes casts - i can make frames :)

ECmajor

It looks FANTASTIC up close - it fits Zara's head perfect , and her hair down like that makes it look moreso awesome ..

Ill make sure e get more pics soon as well!!

Whoooooooooa that is cool. Your EYES like...look SO REAL HOW DO YOU DO THAT? Haha, but for reals. I really like it! And it's great you've made a mold for it, too -- there's nothing like working REALLY REALLY hard on something...but ALSO knowing that if you screw up something with the finishing or whatnot...there's always the ability to now make more. That is very good business.

But I do indeed dig the way it rights right up to your hairline, so it's sorta...exploding out from around it. It looks VERY real and I love the smoothness it has because of that. Yay for you! I took look forward to painted versions of it!

I know :0 The eyes were the hardest part!
I am happy I can make more of these :D Since I want to experiment with a few different colorations and techniques for making it firm enough to hold its own weight.
Thank you :) Should hopefully have colored pictures to show soon...

Did you figure out how to make it a bit more stable?

I'm experimenting with different ways at the moment. I'll figure out which works best soon enough :)

I like how it's shaping out, can't wait to see the final!

You've blown my mind Zara o.o
I'd love to do this with Ahk some day D:

By the way, What's the visibility and breathing like in that head? I know that normal fur suit heads are a bit stuffy, is the latex mask you've made more breathable?

The visibility is good for me, but for people with bigger heads the eyes are apparently too close together. Breathing is okay... I kinda under estimated how large the nostrils should have been, but it's definitely not bad, and I could still cut the nostrils to be slightly larger if needs be. I like latex for how adjustable it is.
Thank you kindly :)

Oh my goodness, that is bloody beautiful! The shape of the mask is near perfect and fits your head wonderfully, like a prosthetic. I am curious, what is the 'demon' design based upon, or did you just make it up as you sculpted?

I had an idea of what I wanted it to look like from the start. Is just a varient of a type of dragon/demon creatures I draw (I have a couple of pictures of them in my scraps, Illusions and Repetition for example).
Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

That's just badassery right there. Awesome sculpt work.

Thanks kindly, Mercy :)

That's epic. Can't wait to see it painted. How difficult is it to start working with latex casts? I'd love to get into it, but just have no idea where to start..

I found it pretty easy - far easier than my last foam/epoxy/paper mache mask. You just have to source the right materials, and be sure of what you're doing. I was pretty nervous about it since it's the first time I've done anything like this, but you learn a lot in the process :)

That is amazingly creepy but awesome at the same time... I love how it looks like it could be either a warmask, or indeed your own face. o_O I forget what they were called but there was a monster in D&D which could peel back the skin of its face to scare the bajeezus out of people.

Very spiffy :D

wow, its looking really stunning. Latex?

Yes, latex :D

=3 thanks Aerinl

Good God, that's pro. Epic stuff!

This is seriously amazing, WOW.

That mask is fucking amazing and I can't wait to see it painted 8| I'd pay money to have one!

Really? I can make moar just like it, so that could be arranged... 8D
Thank you!

Yeah, I just started to wonder how I could pay it as I have only 10 doolah in my paypal right now and rest on my finnish bank account.

But hey, open up for comissions in the meantime 8|? I'm sure others might be interested too

Heh wicked mask, the angle of the photo really gives it an evil look with the eye staring at you like that. :D
Can't wait to see it in color!

Well done. Looks incredible!

That is coming along quite nicely... :D

WIN

8D!

Where, oh dear god WHERE did you learn to make this sort of thing?! O___O WANT TO LEARN ;O;

The process? Just talking to people about it, and of course the trusty internet. It's awesomefun.

FFffff, making this sort of thing is what I dream of doing for a living D: I intend to SOMEDAY attend the same school that went to.

"What? Do I have something on my face?"
