Description UPDATE: Added the horns. They are not painted yet but thought you might want to see it.

Heres my 2nd casting of my dragon mask. Thought I would put this in scraps but decided to put it in the main gallery. I am not done with its articulation and am sculpting an inner mouth to it.

I decided to do some very earthy drab colors on this one but couldn't figure what colors or pattern to use...

A couple people pointed out that it looked similar to a Argonian. What the hell is an Argonian? Well I went on the net and found out. Seems that they are a reptilian species found on the game "Morrowind". I decided to buy the game for my Xbox and see what the rave is about. Honestly its a mediocre game and not very well done either. A waste of my $9. on Ebay.

Though I must admit that I really liked the cat like creatures and the Argonians. I even think one of the female Argonians in the game is cute. I've bugged her about 8 times already lol.

I did though like the scale color patterns that I found on Google of one of the reptilians so I decided to color my mask the same way. I wanted earthy drab colors and this works really well. The game may suck but the artwork is well done.

*PS. Please Stop Calling It An Argonian! It's A DRACONIAN!* Difference is I designed this after "Draco" the dragon in Dragon heart as well as reptiles in my reptile book. Draconians are huge powerful Dragon High-breds and are nothing like the scrawny little lizards called Argonians.



If you want to buy a mask heres the head measurements that will fit in this mask:
From browridge around head 22"
From chin to back of skull 20.5"
From tip of nose around head 22"
From back of jaw around top of head to other side 21"

I recommend padding the nose area first then the rest of the head. Its a bit hard on the bridge of the nose.

No need to type in spanish since I cant read it or speak it
I can understand how it can be very expensive but creating a full on suit would cost around $1400. If you want me to make a mask I can do this in resin and latex which will cost around $675 to $750 pending on the complexity of the mask. You may be able to order the latex from "Monstermakers.com" or from "BurmanFoam.com" I'm sure they ship internationally.

I'm sorry but anyone calling this an Argonian needs to get their eyes checked... badly... the title says "DRAGON MASK"!

Ok, now I've got that out of my system...
Nice work! It looks really good even without the horns painted!

Thank you!
Glad somebody can read the description
They are painted but very subtle. I may give them a more realistic paint job in the future though

Morrowind is one of the best games of all time. It's admittedly an older title and compared to modern games it's graphics and gameplay are very outdated, but it's storyline and world are still one of the most creative and original I've seen. While you may have designed this after Draco it barely looks like him at all other than the top head scales. If you really want ppl to stop calling it an Argonian, don't use the exact same color scheme and facial markings next time.

Amazing! Totally wicked! I was wondering if you could give me some sort of tips on making a study movable jaw that will last for multiple uses. I tried looking up good tutorials, but nothing comes up, could you help me?

I play morrowind too. I have the new oblivion game for the pc. It's good. I liked old morrowind too. Was very different when it came out on xbox. I spent hours in that game. I love the creatures.

Morrowind is the old version, that's why. q= Oblivion's the new one.

Scalies still ftw though.

If they didn't make the buggers so freakin toothpick scrawny I might not have a problem with it. But a true Draconian is not an emancipated lizard. They are huge buff muscle on muscle reptiles. Fierce as they come. Thats me

I don't think you can pirate an Xbox game... I only buy official products.

Darth-Synge In reply to RaptorArts [2008-03-20 21:49:59 +0000 UTC]

Oh, it's not a PC game. My mistake.

Actually, you probably could pirate an Xbox game, but it's likely to be a task that's above and beyond the average person's abilities. A PC game, on the other hand...

But given your expressed preference for officially-made products, I guess I just have to say "Nevermind".

It is a pc game, the Xbox version is a port and is horrible in comparison.
