The Fallen Angel Silicone mask (Finished project)

MAEVE LÉVESQUE — Mon, 07 Apr 2025 20:24:39 +0000

After a whole year, many obstacles and life events that made the project a lot longer than anticipated, here is the final result for my Fallen Angel silicone mask!

It's my 3rd silicone mask design, and I couldn't be happier about the outcome !

Questions about mold making materials

Autumn Notley — Thu, 30 Jan 2025 02:10:12 +0000

Hello everyone, I recently had the idea to create a full silicone werewolf mask, so I started doing a bit of research on the materials needed to create the fiberglass mold and silicone mask. Is it typical for a gallon of silicone to be around 200? It seems to me that with all the WED clay, silicone, prep chemicals, and materials to make the fiberglass mold, it could cost up to $700 for me to simply try once and hope that I don't mess up. Just feeling a bit intimidated, because I'd really like to learn how to make silicone masks to put them on a portfolio. I'm hoping to attend the Design and Technology degree at UCF, and I think silicone makes could be an impressive portfolio piece but I'm not sure where the best place to purchase materials would be. If any one has a list of materials they regularly use, as well as a price estimate for the total cost of it all, that would be incredibly helpful. Thank y'all, and stay creative!

My first ever silicone mask casting

MAEVE LÉVESQUE — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 01:35:31 +0000

Today, I finally cast my first silicone mask.

I never even imagined that it would come out that good for a first shot. I'm without words.

I have to say a huge thanks to everybody here at Stan Winston school, and a huge thanks to George Frangadakis, Andrew Freeman, and Mike Cooke from Immortal masks for making those courses.

I believe I found my path, thanks to all of you!

Now I only have a tiny question:

There are small parts where I can see a bit of the powermesh under the silicone where it's thinner. Do you suggest I thicken those region when patching? Or since the powermesh holds it all I can just paint over it? Is there a minimum thickness I should never go under?

Thanks a lot again for your help

Does anyone know how to make a mask where the mouth moves when you are speaking? Is this a very hard feat?

How to Make a Mask-Part One-Bruce D. Mitchell

In part one of Bruce D. Mitchell's "How To Make A Mask", he goes over the materials necessary for sculpting your mask and the process of how to create it. I don't think Bruce leaves out any detail when he is instructing. He goes over the entire thing quite thoroughly while adding in a good sense of humor! His art style and technique is amazing and very intriguing. I would definitely recommend this lesson to anyone who is even slightly interested in making masks!
Good luck everyone!
