New werewolf mask WIP (part 2)

Description

Finally, I have started on making the mask for my Movie-werewolf! :work:

After making a cast of my face I started building up on it; first I measured out all the key parts of my face (size and position of my mouth, size of my eyes and distance between them, etc) and marked them out with a green marker-pen, next I looked up a real wolf's face-measurements and compared them to my face-measurements then marked with a blue pen where a wolf's muzzle/eyes/nose/etc would be, after that I looked up other mask-blanks to see how other mask-makers had positioned their eye-holes and such then marked out places where I would put my mask's eye-holes and glass eyes etc. Once I finished the measuring and marking, I got started on forming the shape of the top and bottom jaws with some wire (by bending wire around the edges of my jawset and nose-piece which I ordered from carnfx.com) and attaching the wire-skeleton of the snout to the face-cast in the marked-out spaces. Once the skeleton was secure and in the right place; I built up the muzzle's base with gum-tape and a coating of PVA glue to make the muzzle sturdy enough to be covered in modroc and clay. It was a lot of work to say it looks so simple in the photos. :phew:

The measurements aren't perfect, but accurate enough to work with when the time for sculpting and attaching of the glass-eyes comes.
