Cthulhu Mask Update

Here is some update:



Added membrane: Chamois cut and hot glue while wet on mask.

The Call of Chtulhu

Cthulhu is an ancient old demon created by H.P. Lovecraft and the way wikipedia describe it is " tongue in cheek for extreme horror or evil." Anyway I thought it be interesting to make a mask of it, well my Cool angry face version of it. Why not? since everyone and thier mothers. brothers and sisters in kindergarten is making it. I did a quick sketch in my sketchbook figure out the mechanics roughly and soon it'll be a mask.

Bonehunter + Punisher mask = Cthulhu mask

the chamois tendrils are still wet and soft so its drying out now.

Later I will flip them inside out once the wire frame have been made.

I'll need to epoxy sculp this baby a bit before he can really be called a demon.
Sketched idea for the Cthulhu mask

Orc Mask Update:

The PVC tubing has been drilled, the eye holes and everything is drilled out
also jsut didn't take any pics of it.


My Eye balls plus stich string came in the mail woo hoo!
The black and brown string is for Orc Hide.
I'll be using hot glue + wet colored chamois to make it stick to the cut out template above.

Death and Frankenstein

In case of confusion from the blog title let me clear it up, it has to do with masks. I just saw the movie Death Race with that driver guy from Transporter (also another favorite movie for me).
Anyway he takes up the role of Frankenstein a prisoner with exceptional driving skill in a race to the death using cars with weapons to kill other racers on the racing track. Did I mention he wears a mask that look like something I would make? Uh oh guess I'm in love with anything dark, cool and scary in terms of masks. Here are some pics from the Movie. I'll probably be making this in a few... days.

More Orc Hide Helm Update

Epoxy sculpt on the horn things on the head part plus little fang tooth things for the ear.
Testing the chamois sticking to PVC tube via Hot glue while wet, works pretty good.

ORCDATE - Update on Orc Hide Helmet, not date with an Orc!

Here's an Update on my Orc Hide Helmet. Not sure about using the Chamois as a skin for the helmet. Got nothing that will glue and hold the skin to the PVC tube frame I'm about to make.
IN the pic is uhm the bent Horn things for the head. I can either be cheap and use hot glue (quick and easy) to create the effects or sculpt epoxy putty (more expensive & take longer to get hard).

The pvc tubing frame I'll have to use my handy dandy Heat Gun and melt to bent it into a mask shape. I made paper templates and traced it over the flat PVC tubing. Its all in the pic. The chamois however I think I can make them into Gloves for an upcoming Prince of Persia Gauntlet project.

Stay tuned.

More Ugly Masks - Orc Hide Helm

Not having a day job has its advantages and disadvantages. Yes I'm jobless as a designer and whut-not, and no steady income but I do have a lot of time to make art. This is my next quick project and also will add to my mask portfolio. Its a 1:1 Orc Hide Helmet from Lord of the Rings.
They only made a 1:4th scale table top souvenir so there's no lifesize scale version. Plus this design looks a lot like Predator. So I'm making it.

In the picture there's the PVC tube which I've cut into 3 cm wide & various length strips and its slightly curved already. A new material which I'm fascinated with is Chamois. Synthetic version seen here was used for drying my 2 dogs (whom I love very much) after their shower, begins to dry and get hard. This is something unique. I should have worked with this stuff long time ago. I can buy new ones, dip it in wet acrylic color that I want, shape it and let dry. It'll be hard and retain the shape of the mask that I want. So I'll be playing with this. I've just ordered a bunch over Taobao and going to make gloves from this material. Can't wait.

Skull Man Demon Helm

Demon version of Skull Man's Helmet. I realize that this can get even crazier being a demonic design.

Demonizing Bodies - Skull Man Demon armor

Skull Man in demon armor form. The head will come soon.

Took me all day to render this.

Got it in the Mail finally & I love it.
All Thanks to my wife for tracking it thru the impossible EMS
