Finished product first. No the masks are not for sale, I'm under a non compete with the studio I work for. Sorry

This is the buck or form I use to build the masks. That pink stuff in tin-silicone, the epoxy the masks are made of pulls right off the stuff.

This is the epoxy I use to make the masks, 1to1 ratio by volume. As you can see it's super light and that's why I use it

This is the epoxy mixed together, exciting

These are the tools I use. I get crappy plastic tools since the epoxy kinda ruins them. I also use random things like a pen cap and little tooth floss thing

Start blocking out the high points of the mask

Then do the rest...

Now peel it off the form

This is secret sause. I us it to coat the mask it ,drys rock hard

Now I mix the secret sause and thin cloth to create "skin" not all masks get this some get burlap or cheese cloth, but there is normally secret sause involved.

Sorry I didn't get pictures of the layers of paint. I use mostly washes to paint But there are three brows, a purple , green, and black. The eye stitching started as white and is dyed

Now glue on the real human hair and take a picture in the closet.

For the few who asked.

I play a game religiously that is sort of a cat and mouse game with killers that have quite unique faces/mask. Would love some made !
