the mask is nice where'd you get it .if you want ideas on painting it I have some good, likely unwanted ,suggestion lol

[hobbygoblin]

get it? i made it! i probably have some better working ideas( like the reccomended way , platsil gel 10 and pigments), but how do you think i should paint it?

[yamivash 0]

Lots of solid drybrushinfg like at least 4 different color coats so what was that on made of and how

[hobbygoblin]

i plan to do somthing like that, the paint for this is very easy and does not require tons of skill , or so i have heard. this is my first time trying this so i will figure it out eventualy.

it was made from platsil gel 10 silicone in a urethane mold. i sculpted it from oil base clay, made the mold and then casted it in the silicone. it is not as easy as it sounds...

so you have a clay freddy head in your house ?

[hobbygoblin]

no ,it went back to the clay bin once i got the mold done... there are bits and peices of his face somewhere in there...

you did a spectacular job sculpting

[hobbygoblin]

thanks! the sculpt was softened a lot by the fact that the mold was unable to get tons of little detail. so the mask looks better than my sculpt. i have only sculpted a few times, this was like my third actual sculpt of anything. most of the time it was just me messing around with the clay.it took me 2 months to get that sculpt the way i wanted it.

well I have this the eyes aren't as transparent as they appear its because the flash .And that plastic bad thingy isn't on their anymore either. and when its worn its rounder not as deflated basketball-ish lol

[hobbygoblin]

[yamivash 0]

[hobbygoblin]
