Druid Skull Mask 3D Print Commission - (Part 2 Printing and Painting)
Here we have the physical construction and painting process of my Druid mask commission.
I am open to further mask commissions, if you would like one of these masks or if you would like a different design message me or send an email at makersofmors@gmail.com and I will get back to you.
Using a Original Prusa i3 MK35 and PETG filament
Say hello to Mini Me! A small test print to see if the STL work, they do.
Printing all the parts took a few weeks
The process of removing the supports.
Showing all the bits I had to print for each mask.
Checking for fit
Using car body filler l can fill in the layer lines and then after sanding the surface looks smooth but still porous like bone.
The Human mask must be split down the middle to fit the client inside the snug mask. Both sides are joined by many small but strong magnets.
Base spay paint layer of a bone colour
All the jaw bits, I wont lie I sometimes mixed them up briefly.
Using taxonomy ref to draw the sutures on the skulls of the various animal skulls.
I just looked in the mirror for reference
Just because I'm dead doesn't mean I should stop using protective gear!
All done!
I achieved this look with basic acrylic paints and a black wash to shade the recesses and give a weathered look.
My workstation looks like a crime scene.
Finally seal them all in water proof sealant to protect from outdoor conditions and also internal sweat. Remember kids costumes get hot!
Me after using all these solvents in an unventilated room.
One last play with my creations before I send them off to my clients.
Checking the fit and how the masks sit on the head. Showing my commissioner what I've been doing over the weeks.
Skull-ception BWAAAAAA!
Doing my best Mari-Lwyd impression.
Really like this pic I may revisit something like this for a monster concept...
Some pics sent by my clients from their LARP.
Joining Gandalf in the #VAPENATION
The tan lines from that war paint will be hard to explain later...
Side note I need to up my sewing skills as I need that green coat that fellow is wearing!
Finally Romans and Goths united against the true enemy... Furries
