Artist's Comments

Dragon mask version 2, made from: [link] with modifications completed quickly on Halloween day, in order to wear it to a party that evening.

I think i will continue adding feathers and make a nice cheekruff/mane out of them, as soon as i can find some more suitable rooster tailfeathers. You can see a bit of damage on the Left horn base, where it got broken and hastily repaired with epoxy. I will eventually fix it properly.

I am loving the feather ears, which you can't see properly here.

Thank you for the comment, i am glad you like it. :)

It's made of copper wire, armature mesh, super sculpey, paper mache, and rough italian plaster... The sculpey is hard to work with and still keep thin, and it's brittle. I would do it differently, now.

Also there are turkey, goose, and rooster feathers on it, and yes, those are real blesbok horns.. I would now purchase cast ones, but I've had those for years so I used them.

Love the copper detail across the forehead and how it's echoed in the horns. So sorry it broke :( Also really like the general shape of the face. You really did a great job on this :D

Looks like something you'd see in a cult meeting... Or one of the masks in Hostel.

I love it. I want one.
