Thanks. I simply used broken sticks to get the rough look on the surface. I switched them often and alternated pressure and orientation to not get repetitive pattern. Then I used silver paint on the highlights. The material itself was already very rough and didn't smooth easily.

I'm not very happy with the overall shape (especially cheekbones) and some details I had to  so it's far from best but I'm also happy with the surface. It doesn't have the plastic feeling like some of the dishonored masks I have seen.

I agree. Most of the masks you see are way to plastic but you managed to get a surface in top class. I actually plan to make a mask too so I'm just doing some minor researches. Did you use gypsum and then pierced it with broken sticks or did you use some other material? Once again, overall amazing work!

And thanks for the response.

I used some epoxy clay, similiar to Apoxie Sculpt. I used broken sticks to texturize it after it was hardened just a little but not too much.

The base of the mask is made of gypsum strips though. I made a thin mask with them that fits my face and used epoxy clay on that to shape the actual visible parts of the mask.

I didn't choose materials very cost-efficiently and it took a bit time so I think it would cost more than people would be willing to pay. Would you be interested?

It would be interesting to try again and make better and more accurate version though.

Yeah, If it was up for sale, I would definitely buy it as soon as I was able to.
