WIP caique mask. This doesn’t look like much, but it was a good few hours work! Parrots have a palette-like thing in their top bill that guards the nostril holes in the beak and the sides of it connect to soft connecting tissue at the sides of the beak.
I’ve sculpted the palette base & once dry/sanded I’m envisioning covering it with a stretch fabric. The pointy edges will be attached to side strips of stretch fabric/elastic between the top and bottom jaws, so they will pull with the fabric, plus it’s part of the mask hinging setup. I’m really hoping this plan works out
