New Mask Sneak-peek~

Hey there~

In order not to go totally nuts while doings loads of stuff for university...I continued working on the the new mask ;)


Some sneak-peeks for you:











Say hello to Daniel!







Rough sculpt~













































First time trying "Brush-on 40" from Smooth-on for the mold~ Smells kinda nice and is easy to mix (1:1).
BUT: Needs 16h to cure, so righ now I don't know if it's gonna work like it should :P We'll see tomorrow~



Can you guess what it's gonna be ;)? (No wolf this time :P!)

Stay tuned for more~

Wolfmask- Making of Part II

Hey folks^^

So here comes Part II from the "Making of":







Next step was to make the teeth^^ Those were molded out of fimo and then a resin-cast was made. (Same procedure as before- model-silicone-mold, plaster-mothermold, casting)











That's what the resin-cast looked like:

Upper jaw...










....and lower jaw^^





I had to grind them a little bit down and polish them, thereafter they were fixed to the inside of the muzzle.





























Next step: Furring!

The faux fur was hot glued to the resin-mask. It was soooo fluffy :P

But I had to cut the fur, because it was not supposed to be a fuzzy-wolf ;)

As the last step I painted the musszle with acrylics and added elastic-strings- so you can easily wear it :)

Next time I'll upload pics of the completely finished mask- worn by it's new owner :)

Wolfmask- Making of Part I

Hey there^^

Right now I'm working on a wolf mask for a friend- it's gonna be a furred, lightweight (resin) mask with a moving jaw, which covers half of the face, so you can still see the eyes and forehead- therefore face expression should be possible...if it works how I imagie it^^

And here some pics of the different stages of moldmaking and the casting itself^^





I made a mold of my friends face using plaster bandages and then casted her face with "Kermolin"and coated it with acrylic based varnish.














Then I molded the "wolf-muzzle" onto the "face" ^^






























Next step: making the silicone mold! Liquid silicone was brushed onto the muzzle and a (two-part) mothermold was made of plasterbandages. When everything was cured completely, I seperated the parts an taddaaa- a nice silicone mold^^ Now everythings prepared for casting!




















And thats what the resin-mask looks like right now:
(It's not fitted to my face, so it seems a little bit funny, but Manu already tried it on and it looks great ;) And it's super light!!)






















Next step will be to add teeth and a "tongue"- in order that it will look like a real wolf muzzle when she "talks" and moves the jaw ;)
Then the fur will be added and painted...and then it should be finished^^
Stay tuned for Part II :)

See ya!
