special - making a mask

I designed chinese lion statue.

I spent almost 80hours for it. i really wanted to finish clean details of it and i love it!

after, sculpting process, mold making for final latex mask piece!

it was pretty hard to make all the details came through out the mold because as u can see, there were a lot of details..;p

the result of molding. latex mask~~

and compare to actual sculpted size, it shrinked a bit.

coloring~

my theme was...back side is actual aged looking statue and front side is more like living animal looking.

statue becoming alive? ;)

i punched some hairs to express alive looks and put some clear coat for the teeths.

If there is more chance to make some masks, i would love to do it !

it was pretty hard and took some times, but incredibly fun!
