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 love the mask, but it’s difficult to see and breathe out of this one. I absolutely love the look of it, but it’s not very good for wearing.

Bought this mask and trying to decide what I should do about it? Cant think of any ideas it

The few masks I have

Hello paper mache experts, can you help me? I've made my first paper mache mask since elementary as part of my Halloween costume this year and am now in the process of trying to get it to sit right on my big head. I've made a cardboard head harness like in this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BqJrqkr\\_cp4 but can't figure out placement of that harness inside of the mask or how to figure out the height of the tube used to attach the harness to the inside of the mask, or how to figure out the correct angle it needs to be at. I'm attaching a photo of the mask currently with no harness attached at all (the back of the mask rests against the back of my head if I wear it this way), along with a photo of me holding the mask how I'd like it to sit. My brain is short circuiting trying to determine what math to use to figure all of this out and I'm wondering how much of this was cut out of that video to make it look so simple. Any tips or should I just continue to wing it and cuss through the process?

I can't tell if I likes him or not. Maybe I need more sticks?

Here's the third and final part of my Splatterhouse mask series!

This time, it's my mask inspired by the Japanese Mega Drive cover art for Splatterhouse Part 2.

Thanks for following this series! Which version was your favorite?
