Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

thanks, I think I will try to make it moveable...

however, the silicone stuff I'm going to use for the skin between the two parts of the jaw, so it stretches instead of showing two distinct parts to the mask, is unpaintable. The only way I can color it is if I mix dye in with it, and that kinda limits my color options....

I experimented with the stuff and some brown dye, and got this color:

now, I can duplicate this color with the paint on the rest of the mask, but before I do that, does anyone think that's a good color for the mask to be?

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

Can you mix a few dyes together for a slightly more complicated shade? You can always use the brown as a base, then do fine hair highlight work over it.

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

well, the silicone stuff is unpaintable, and it doesn't give me a very long working time...

but what do you mean by fine hair highlight work?

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

well, I did it...mostly.

the jaw is moveable, but it needs a little reinforcing before I'll trust the two pieces to not rip apart if I yawn or something while wearing the mask...

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

Cool!

Over the rest of your head, painting it that brown. You might want to paint fur in those areas that are on the border of where you're going to put fake fur. And by painting fur, you have a brown base, you can do lighter lines to suggest fur.

I'm tired tonight... tongue Taking a long time to explain stuff... sheesh.

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

heh...well, the thing is, my hair is pretty much a slightly darker shade of that exact color, and I haven't had a haircut in over a month... and it's a face-only mask so far....so if all else fails, by halloween I might not even need to put any fur on the thing.

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

A face-only mask?

So you're not going as a full-bodied werewolf, Howlitzer?

A shame because it would be like your werewolf drawing come to life.

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

I didn't say "face-only costume"...

I meant "face-only" in that the mask will only cover my face not my entire head...i might have stuff coming off of the mask (like ears) that partially cover my head at least, but I've had enough experience with over-the-head masks to know that:

1. They make me claustrophobic.
2. They are a pain in the butt.

that does not speak for the rest of the costume.

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

I like that concept alot dude smile That's going to look sweet!

And yeah, full head masks are a pain in the butt AND there's always someplace where they bend, or cave in, that makes it look ridiculous.. tongue

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

I had a sweet over the head mask, but it was a little too big so my mom put a safety pin in it. Fit perfectly! Then some kid on the playground (I was in third grade, lol) ripped it off and I couldn't get the safety pin in right so it fit all retarded. Grr!

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

well, I've started to paint it a bit... keep in mind this is the first coat...

http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/9042/p1010176hf7.jpg

and...just because I haven't shown it yet....the inside of the mask...

it looks REALLY ghetto from the inside...because it is... the thing I rigged up for the chin so I can both open and clench the mouth, it's made out of a metal clothes hanger and rat wire...

http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/5044/p1010177tb1.jpg

kinda looks like a medieval torture device, doesnt it? tongue

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

It's starting to look like your werewolf self now.

Yeah. The inside of the mask do look creepy but only the other people will see the outside and that is where it counts.

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

well, i did do a bit more work on the mask...added some details, painted the gums and teeth a bit better, did the inside of the mouth, and fixed the chin so it doesn't have metal visible...

http://img409.imageshack.us/img409/4/p1010192ff0.jpg

and despite the appearance of the inside of the mask, it actually isn't the least bit uncomfortable. It's perfectly molded to my face...

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

Awesome, Howlitzer. You're starting to really look the way that I draw you except for the black hair.

I see that you're wearing out that Rubik's cube. You still haven't figured it out yet, have you?

Re: Howlitzer's werewolf art

eh...my hair isn't really black. It was still wet from swimming earlier. In reality it's a few shades lighter.
