Abigor demon mask

well welcome to Abigor my demon ....which im sculpting in mind to then cast a latex mask from i will post up my step by step of the sculpt mould and casting of Abigor

here is the first steps of the sculpt in making the head and starting the face, and working on the nose

from there i then built on the nose making it bigger and flowing under the eyes

to make them look more sunken, then drawing in the eye brows for that menacing

look, then starting on the mouth area.

Here you can see the mouth and cheek lines are going on, along with razing under

the eyes and along the brow ready to take the horns 

ok after a good few more hours i have got the head bone in place all the raised 

areas around the head, eyes, cheeks for the horns to go on, 

and made a start on the ears.

i will be working on this through the week hopefully ready to mould from at the weekend and cast masks from  the week after but will upload more pics as the sculpt comes on.....thank

oh here i am still fighting this sculpt it is nearly done now i have added the horns and going through the detail  nearly ready for casting

Ok well after another few days of adding clay cutting back shaping and smoothing out then not being happy with it add more clay  cutting back smoothing out......then frustrated with smoothing out all the detail hes done ! yay ready for casting wohoooooo here are the pics

all horns are added ....looking dapper lol

well here goes hopefully this will come out right and no air bubbles or missed bits lol here is the front part of the casting process

here is the clay wall starting to go on around the sculpt half way from front to back to make a 2 part mould

 I have added a lip on the top so i can make the plaster more like water to try and get better detail from the surface.....the lip is to just contain it from spilling

Well here is the side view of the wall and bellow is where its finished with lip ready to go....finger crossed lol

OK here we go first layer of plaster on covered nicely i noticed the nose had air bubble and promptly popped lol few!!   

Here is the second layer making sure i pushed it into the gaps dont have much time with this plaster as it starts to set after about 5 mins so kind of pasting it on with my hands now....

here is the 3rd layer now less panicy no lol as this layer is just for strength

the fourth layer again for more strenght

And a final thin top layer this is just to smooth it out for ease of handling 

 ok now time to do it all again on the back of the mask lol.......here goes...

well there we go once i left it over night to fully cure i cracked the mould and and picked out all the clay from the detail.......check the casting it looks good apart from a few little air bubbles which can be filled in easly....

Here is the mould ready for the first pull for the latex mask this will pretty much be a cleaner run to pull out greas remaining clay in detail etc

well here it is the final latex cast of the mask ready to paint

here is a first layer of flesh colour i airbrushed on this is the first time ive used an airbrush
so not sure if this will come out fine lol

well here we go the first attempt at airbrushing im not fully happy so will run of a few masks to practice on

here we go a red devilish version lol
