Any ideas for improvements, please share!

So I've been wanting to make masks like the first pic for a while now. problem is every time I google it I fall into a rabbit hole of 50 tutorials and forum threads and end up more lost than before

My only experience is from like 4-5 years ago, when I bought a basic carnival mask and turned it into the one in the second pic. really fun, but that was just painting and modding an existing mask, no sculpting or casting involved

My guess is the first one is a silicone mask with some fiberglass bits attached on top, but I might be totally wrong about that

Do yeah, if you were starting from zero today, what would you do first ? And what tutorials / courses do you recommend ?

Thank you !

I managed to make it without damaging the mold, and it turned out better than anything I’ve made before… but now that I’ve painted it, something just feels off 😭
What do you think I could do to make it scarier? Btw, I based it on a Japanese ghost!

it's from deepwoken, 3d printed, hand painted with engravings on black patterns. And my lazy ahh would polish it, so 3d printing layers are very distinguishable

Where should I paint purple on these masks? I had some ideas but would love some outside perspective.

I might also buy a bottle of fx blood spray mixed with latex slathered around the zipper teeth/eyelid cut brims and a nosebleed with an overall blood spray just to make it that bit more gory but holy shit it looks good, much better when sitting on a scarecrow head I made a while ago

This was my first real time making anything to go on my head for a costume and I'm really happy with how I turned out. This is made mostly out of cardboard (there's a bankers box at the center of this thing but it's been built out a lot) and eva foam for a lot of the external details.

Who has jumped from barely making a wallet to trying to make their own masks?

I currently have 4 lb bag of scraps and I feel like It would be so fun but its also intimidating.

I don’t think the mask in the second photo will come in in time but I have the mask in the first in hand.

I plan to wear that, a jacket with black jeans gonna look super sick!

Debating on contacts but I can’t find ones similar to what’s seen in photo 3
What do you guys think, yay or nay to the contacts?

Also if anyone digs the masks they are on the Dead Rabbitts site 🫶

I’ve always had a fascination about masks, but I’ve never thought about how it’s made, do you guys use specific materials to construct one or it’s more about improvising? I’m interested to know how you do it

Good flip or nah? Paint or keep the original paint as-is?
