Description
My hand at a Larp ogre/orc/whatever. Just trying new stuff.Not finished yet, just trying this sort of thing out. Already know how to do better ears next time. Will be offering this kind of thing on commission. Latex construction- cannot make in anything other that latex so please dont ask. When i figure out a good way of doing this in silicon, beleive me I will announce it.

I might have a viable solution (stolen from Evil Ted's Youtube channel; check him out sometime).
Creature Cast Rubber is a Polychloroprene/Neoprene casting rubber used as an alternative to natural latex it comes water thin ( creaturecastrubber.com/ ) but they do sell a thickening agent. I have never worked with it myself (having a miser's budget to make things) but if this allows you to serve people safely that have latex allergies it might be worth it... YMMV but information is never a bad thing.

Funny enough that is exactly the material I intend to experiment with over the winter. I have a developing latex allergy myself (too much exposure over the years, nothing serious, just minor hives) so the time is rapidly coming where I will absolutely need an alternative anyway.

Let me know how it goes. I hope it is the solution you need.

Yeah this is just a fancy-ish latex mask, no eyes in it, very simple construction. Now these will actually be pretty cheap, less than $200 in mot cases because they just do not require the same amount of work furry heads do.

Thanks! I was being a bit lazy and used craft foam, but I realized theres a different foam I can carve if I want to do it this way next time, that will give me more organic, nicer shapes. I should really just bite the bullet and make a mould with proper ears though.

That's just a piece of cloth underneath the actual mask. c: This is just one more in a line of interesting and impressive use-your-own-eyes masks.
Have you had a chance to try this sucker on yet? Very curious how well the nose works - or if the holes are superficial. We all know orcs were mouth-breathers anyway. lol Love the little tinge of red in the paint. Subtle and fantastic.

Wow, that's a cool concept.
And no, I haven't. I unfortunately cannot afford such things.
