therian stag mask for my ghost, pt 2 (antlers, lining, etc)

(pt 1: the face)

// not rly a tutorial, just documenting progress !!

while version 1 of the deer mask was still on, i twisted some wires into a frame for the antlers. i got the wire from the dollar store from a jute wrapped roll i un-jute’d. after bending em into shape i lightly wrapped it in tin foil to make it into an armiture with form. didn’t take a pic of that part tho—

i foam clay’d over that to make the final antlers. then i stood em up for them to dry

when they were dry, I attached the antlers to the head w some more foam clay and propped em up to dry upright.

i didn’t take pics of the ear-making, the inner lining, or felting process, but basically:

for the ears, i cut em out of foam and folded em at the join as i hot glued em on.

for the inner lining, i used black fabric also from the dollar tree, and cut it into pieces to line the inside of the cat mask base nose.

for the head strap, it took me a few tries to get it tight enough around my head that i couldn’t shake the mask off

for the felting, i used singer white felt. i might’ve glued the wrong side down but i can’t tell what side’s stiff and what side’s hairy. it didn’t all go on in one piece, but i manaaged to hide most of the imperfections behind the antlers.

to make it glasses-compatible, i used Raccoonmasks’ tutorial on making a support for your glasses in the mask. i only had overly thick foam so i shaved it down to make it the right size and mostly hidden from peeking thru the eyeholes.

i was really proud of the mask and ready to paint it but something kept nagging me not to… and then i realized the antlers only looked right from the front, they were totally wack from the side!!!

it bothered me so much i literally had a dream abt fixing them, so i cut em off to take off the clay and foil and reangle the antlers.

we re-foiled and foam clay’d the antlers and now they look more accurate in more perspectives! :3

i still have to add inner ear fluff and maybe some extra clay if foil shows thru (this foam clay shrinks a bit when dried). but in a day or so (since writing this on 07/21) it’ll be ready to paint !!!!
