my zombie mask has gone to shit. i believe due to an improper ratio of plaster to water my mold for my zombie mask turned out horrible. an overwhelming lack of detail was picked up, aswell as several issues due to air bubbles. the sculpt itself was ruined pretty bad as well when it was pulled from the mold, so theres no chance to re-mold. this is a rather disapointing set back for me, i was highly looking forward to finishing this piece. a good chunk of my time and money was just wasted, im reluctant to start a new one without doing further research on how to do it properly. i appologize to anyone who may have been looking forward to this...but its not over.
ZOMBIE Sculpt
So ive been inspired by a few top notch sculptors and mask makers here on DA, and earlier this week i began the first stages of a Zombie mask. the sculpt took about 5 days (working about 1-2 hours per day) to complete. pics were taken after each day to show progress. Ive posted pics in my gallery and would love some feedback and thoughts. hopefully tomorrow or even possibly tonight i intend to make the mold for this piece. ive already picked up my plaster, i now just have to find something to mix and contain my mold in, more progress pics will be added as this project advances. thanks for looking!!
Cherry Poppin'
ok so this is my first journal entry on DA, so i figured id take this time to explain a little about myself and my artistic nature. ive always loved art, all types of art and all medias of art. i love drawing.. i love using pen, pencil, and markers. Painting is something i am still new to. i started painting about 2 years ago and have done a total of 4 paintings, one of which being the Spiderman that i submitted recently. i paint using acrylic paints. i also love to sculpt, which is also something i dont do alot of. being a long time fan of slipknot i made a replica of lead singer Corey Taylor's mask off their Subliminal Verses Record. everyt

Hey man, this sucks, and while it may be really discoursing, don’t let it get you down! If you are looking to make latex masks, the best plaster to use is Ultra Cal 30 (Gypsum Cement), it’s a very durable material that has 0 shrinkage & will capture very fine details. If you are only making one piece molds then another good plaster is WHITE hydracal, I don’t recommend using this for two piece molds because it has some shrinkage. Plaster of Paris is a very brittle plaster if you can get it to mold right you will only be able to get a few castings from the mold.
A good place to start for info is [link] they have some basic information for starting & the steps for molding & casting. I would check locally for the materials though because some of the online places price gouge for plaster & latex.
If you need any further advice hit me up in a note.
And again don’t let this get you down!
Hope this helps,
