leatheroo Report post Posted February 26, 2008 lovely work drac, i like the bottom one the best, the airbrush makes the colouring look more professional, you must be very happy with the results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drac Report post Posted February 26, 2008 definitely happy with the results. I think it makes the molding stand out even more. and thanks! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Nice stuff! Black n red sure is a given success! The scales on the third looks awsome. Got me thinking off that tv serie V but those were green I think. Nice work, one sure wishes for an airbrush equip, but..money..money, sigh. Maybe you could look back at stuff you sold before and come up with what it costs per hour when you work and the throw in what material costs. Seen people here suggest to double the material cost for buying in new material and some hidden costs, like how much would a few tiny drops of paint cost, and then a few drops of oil, a few drops of sealer and so on. It all adds up in the end. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spider Report post Posted February 27, 2008 Ok Drac, You are going nuts with work now. You need to sleep sometime. I know the feeling. Do you cut everything out B4 or after you shape? Anyway, these are really cool. I'm with Roo, the last is my favorite. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drac Report post Posted February 27, 2008 tom I have a secret for doing the scales. roo knows! heh heh heh spider sleep?!?! huh?!?! wazzat?!?! I make a template out of posterboard, then cut the leather, then shape. sometimes dye before shaping, sometimes after. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracyMoss Report post Posted February 27, 2008 Do you have a mold that you shape on? I've always wondered about those costume pieces and the body armor that gives everyone a six-pack. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maeshin Report post Posted March 5, 2008 Awesome masks ^_^ They are all really neat, though I'd be inclined to jump on the bandwagon, so to speak, and say that I like the last one best. The long spikes look really sweet ^__^ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
