this one's legit though. the other two times i had no idea what i was doing. no element of this mask is going to be a new process, and plus i think i'm getting better at sculpting!

i have a fantastic devil mask that i got online, i repainted it, added hair and some gloss to the skin... it looks great, but it's slightly too small for my head and so it gets really uncomfortable! i figured since i was going to be resculpting it i could improve on the cheap, mass-produced quality of the store-bought thing. while i'm at it, i have the opportunity to bend the mask more toward my tastes.

this face is going to be glued on to a separate head/ear/horn hood, then i could theoretically make variations on both and mix and match if i ever want to go that route. it's very asymmetrical right now because i'm having trouble deciding how realistically detailed i want him to be! I think I'm going to err on the side of realism, at least for this one. Who knows, it might be fun to do a really cartoonish version and be able to switch between the two! i also wanted to make a goaty baphomet type face but i'll just cross that bridge when i come to it. who knows if i'll ever finish this thing. it's fun to work on, though!

i'm going to cast it in the monster makers mask latex, but i'm hoping i can eventually get it done in foam latex, which is so much more comfortable and breathable than just the regular shit.
