Description
Finally, I have started on making the mask for my Movie-werewolf!
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.
The measurements aren't perfect, but accurate enough to work with when the time for sculpting and attaching of the glass-eyes comes.
