TomBanwell Report post Posted April 21, 2008 I joined the forum two months ago as a helmet maker, and now, by golly, I'm turning into a maskmaker! Heh heh! I guess I've been deeply influenced by what others are doing. Here is my latest mask, a lizard. Not really wearable, due in part to the fact that lizard eyes are on opposite sides of their heads! At any rate, I'm trying lots of new things and enjoying it. I am quite pleased with the skin, which I airbrushed through a stencil using first green and then violet dye. I love the camouflage look it has. The tongue and crest are both made of a series of what Bruce Grant calls "trick twists". I drafted the pattern from a lizard head I'd sculpted a couple years ago. The mask is made of 5/6 oz veggie cow, except the crest which is 2/3 oz. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
faceOdd Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Wow! What amazing talent you have : ) I love the whole mask, but especially the way the spots turned out. (You've just knocked a leg out from under my anti-airbrushing stance, too). ~Tammy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
