>>107979199
holy shit are you doing what I think you are doing?

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Majora is comming!

lolresin

bricks shat

Started it today, I'd say my progress is decent

>>107979199
Your name implies you sell these things. You have a website, or somethin'?

>>107979526
BEN

DROWNED

>>107979199
Do you have one on the elegy of emptiness Link?

Nice quality btw. What do you use?

>>107979526
Is that chocolate cake? I'll gladly take a piece once you're done with it

>>107979545
I do sell things and the website is currently being worked on, however, I do have an etsy with some stuff. http://www.etsy.com/listing/77988809/creepy-death-mask

>>107979580

FUCK DONT BRING THIS UP AGAIN

>>107979688
I sculpt them out using a non sulfur clay, mold em in tin silicone and then cast them out of my own blend of high grade resins. Paint and presto

viral

Get Black felt, 2 red LEDs and a battery.

Place the battery pack inside the back of the face.

cut the black felt into 4 circles. Place a red LED in the middle of one circle and glue the edges together. Do the same for the other one. glue the pads behind the eyes, and connect the wire to the LEDs.

You are now a Redead. A blind one, but a Redead nonetheless.

>>107979888
this was sarca- oh shit I got trips

>>107979920
I do take requests on having the eyes blacked out and the LED thing was a possibility but I also have a neon paint to paint the eyes on the lycra I use/

>not using teeth from recent corpses in your mask

Seriously. OP is a faget. Go out there and dig up some graves you pussy.

>>107979792

But why? Are you scared of our story?

I would have sex with a man in this mask.

>>107979972
>ponyfag caring about post numbers


Great stuff OP, can't wait to see majora's finished

So what's your goal? Gonna make all of the masks? Including the ones on the Mask Salesman's back?

>>107980172
Don't really have a goal, Just make masks of those who request em. Already sold a bunch of the redeads but making Majora as well. Someone also requested Jack of Blades but never responded back.

>type "redead face" into google image search
>mfw

>>107980022
it reminds me of Halloween.

How much do these go for? and what about custom ones?

>>107980394
rofl I got a whole bunch of the same red head chick

>>107980560
hey OP I hope you will be coming back because I wanted to follow this thread but is an unspeakable hour now.

>>107980560
I did it with safesearch off

>>107980541
Cost $30 for the supplies, nigga charges $80 plus shipping for the mask.

>>107980541
http://www.etsy.com/listing/77988809/creepy-death-mask There is some of them and yes I take custom orders.

>>107980727
niggah never heard of time

Do you ship international?

>>107981041
Yea shipping cost goes up a bid but yea

NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE

INB4 YOU ACTUALLY CARVED THIS OUT OF A CASKET

>>107981204
Why yes and I imbued it with lost innocence.

I'm interested in seeing how your Majora Mask one turns out. If it looks good, I'll definitely place an order.

>>107980727
How fucking stupid are you?
You think a painting only costs what the paint and canvas worth?

YOU BETTER HAVE GONE THE EXTRA MILE, OP

>>107981360
Well the way I see it is that sometimes people have never worked, so do not understand that time/cost.

>>107981113
...does this mean there's going to be a Roadside picnic movie with S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Blood suckers?

please say yes.

>>107980824

DAT DEAD ROACH ....YOU LIVIN IN A SEWER ?

>>107981706
I am, did i mention I'm a mutant turtle and my father figure is a mutant raT?

>>107981853
Does your wife actually play a role in the new silent hill movie or is she just an anonymous extra?

>>107981853
Do you just do this as a hobby or do you actually do freelance work for haunted houses and stuff in addition to your site?

>>107981989
extra that's all i can say

>>107980394
I lol'd heartily.

And OP is more like BRO-P.
I'm gonna go drink bleach for subjecting you all to that.

>>107982133
I actually do SFX full time, but making masks has always been something I've done since I was 12

yet another tripfag making an off topic thread.


shocker.

i dont care that you're viralling, this is fantastic

>>107982259
I figured as much. It definitely shows.
Quality work AND vidya related!

>>107982346
>off topic thread.
>vidya masks

>>107982346
another retard making idiot sages
bump

>>107982346
Ok so me making vidja themed masks is offtopic but your personal threads on how you can't get a girlfriend is?

OP !!!
How much for the Majora Mask when it comes out ?

>>107982346

>>107982571
do you live off of this or just make bank with your hobby?

HNGGRRR OH MY GOD I SAW YOU LIKE 4 MONTHS AGO.
Hows it going? Business good?

Mask of Shadows, Darksiders.
Are you willing to?

>>107982830
I originally did the masks for fun but someone told me to mold them and sell them so I did. I make props/suits for movies but I always enjoy making things in general

Hey OP, how much time does it usually take you to make a mask? I know it probably changes depending on the project, but on average?

>>107982571

>hurr if i add a picture to it, suddenly becomes related!

so glad people are spamming this board with ponies now.

>>107982571
Holy crap. I think I might be willing to dump $80 for this, goddamn. Still waiting on my condemned 3.

Bookmarked your shop.
100% certain that I'm buying a Majora's Mask.
How long until we could expect it in the shop? Guestimate is fine.

Also, is buying unpainted masks an option?

You haven't done the face of the amnesia grunt have you?

>>107983163
You're an idiot.

>>107983101
Holy shit,

did you make that tuskan gear?

i'd be willing to pay serious dosh for a tuskan raider suit

>>107983101
so did you have that job before or after

>>107983238

Same here, if not for the fact that my mother recently stole my debit card and plunged my bank account 200 dollars in the hole, I would so fucking buy one right now.

Including shipping his masks are under $100.
They're not that expensive. Just buy it.

>>107983460
Sue your mother.
Masks > Family. And your mom seems like a bitch.

make this one OP

if you do customer orders would i do that through your site or do you have an email. this shit is cool.

>>107983238
unpainted masks are an option, the only thing is that painting the redead and etc is the easiest and less timely part so it won't drop the price much

>>107983833

Oh fuck yes I would pay for that face.

>>107983848
Yea go ahead an email me my email is Bloodsin12@gmail.com

>Implying the bunny hood ever came off unless another mask was required

>>107983833
I just fell off my chair hahaah. I wanna have sex with my wife and wear that.

bump

>>107984046
thanks very much man. How would the buying process work if i was getting somthing custom. is it half first then half later?

>>107984337

Fucking make it then

I'd buy one for $120

Especially if you could put a speaker in it somewhere that made the voice from the start of this video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YdZa2phzWe8

You think you could get me one of those Sweet Tooth masks from PAX.

>>107984337

I'm very much considering buying one of the redead masks, but I have one question: How does the texture / color of the masks vary between them? the image on your shop is very enticing, but I'd be rather disappointed to get one with less than stellar color/texture

You seem to have missed my question OP. Just curious about the time these take to make.
>>107983161

Holy shit, these masks are pretty damn cool.

I'm seriously considering that Re-Dead mask. $80 seems pretty fair for a quality rare mask like that.

>>107984589
Nope they all are from the same mold, As for color, I use the same paint scheme for all of them, they all are unique but they are the same colors

>>107984561
Yea I can do that just shoot me an email, I have it posted somewhere around here.

>>107983161
Are you talking a brand new custom mask or a run of the redead?

>>107985287
custom masks mostly, I assume making more of the same mask would reduce the time by a fair amount.

So how's everyone's day? =D

>>107985554
the usual. 50% trolling 50% being helpful

just kidding, about the 50% part

>>107985539
It all depends on which mask but a front one peice mask I can bang out in a week maybe more.

>>107983101
>>107983101

so did you make this tuskan raider costume ?

i'd pay a lot for a tuskan raider outfit or a darth maul outfit

I am intrigued, im not really interested in creepy shit, Ill keep you in mind next time i want a vidya mask.

Bookmarked your website for future reference.

When i was about 8 we had to make masks and i made the twinmold mask , it was shitty and fell apart. What this be something you can do cos having the real thing on my wall would be brilliant

>>107985999
I commissioned that for someone who had the full costume and needed the mask/gaffey stick. However, I can always make the whole thing sure.

Lurker here. Really excited for the Majoras mask. It's the only mask I want. I just hope you can make it better where most people fail. Needs to be very sturdy, those spikes will break off easy if not handled right, and the shipping packaging is going to have to be very protective of this. Also the paints and painting really need to be top notch, but by the look of things you've got this shit.

I am so so so wanting to buy a redead mask right now

>>107986735
The main difference between mine and theirs is materials. The Majora's will be very thick fiberglass resin and a blend of other resins. Basically it will be made like a cary body.

>>107986996
Car body pfft

>>107986996
Great to hear. Looking forward to it even more. Good luck!

buying one now

cannot resist

can't wait to jump on people and hump them this halloween

bump

>>107986657
You do shipping to international right ?

i live in australia

>>107987428
>can't wait to jump on people and hump them this halloween

since this isnt vidya can i get a invite?

>>107987679
Actually yes I've sold two to Australia already.

>>107987766
If i was getting something customer would i pay you first or after?

>>107988056
Custom made*

>>107988056
We can do it a few ways, I prefer everything upfront because of materials cost, but I can prolly do half and half.

>>107988157
Cool, sorry about my retarded spelling in the last post but is the twinmold mask something you could do?

>>107988312
For purposes of wearing or just to hang on your wall?

So mask man, if you put your mind to it could you make say an Imperial guard outfit?

>>107988389
Just for hanging on my wall, I wouldnt want it to be massive, just the size if a reguler mask

>>107988312
Oh man. OH MAN.
Making masks of the boss remains, and hanging them on the wall? Around the Majora's Mask?

Dear god, all of my money Just fucking take it!

>>107988684
Thats the dream brother

>>107988684

>>107988684
OP, when I have a steady source of income again, I may have you do this for me, if you're up to it. The opportunity would be just too good to pass up. May your business venture in masks be long and fruitful,so that we may both get what we want.

>>107988389
Would you be capable of making one of these by chance?

>>107988936
Yeah, I have OP's email saved for when that day comes.

Alot of people have suggested all of the boss masks and well if there is enough interest, I might just do it.

>>107989005
Yea it would be two pieces most likely but anything is do-able

since you work by the mold would an origanal mask cost more then the onesyou make from the mold or is the cost not that different.
sorry ofr bombarding you with questions but its just awesome stuff you are making.

>>107989046
Any idea how you'd market 'em? Would you sell them individually? As a set? If as a set, would you sell the boss' together but Majora separate (as it's far more iconic)? I need details, OP, so I can start a budget!

>>107989137
Damn it mask man, can you do
>>107988472

If yes I will contact you in the near future and throw money at you to do it.

>>107989259
Yea I made the DOOM 3 armor for someone in the past as well as stormtrooper/boba fett so I don't see the problem with Imperials.

>>107989540

DONT POST THAT

OH GOD I NEED IT

FUCK

is that clay?

>Jack of Blades mask

Damn, making masks seems easy as fuck. I'm stealing your job OP

>>107989951
Hey if you want to front the money for it I'll make it. The other guy hasn't responded yet.

I need a job :<

You better have done this mask, OP.

>>107990218
I'll get back to you about the majoras mask thing, i saved your email and shop page so I'll get in touch

>>107989005
i've made one from Aluminium that was anodized gold coloured. sold it for 5000 euros, but that was years ago.

I thought of something. What I would really like is a nice looking Kitsune Mask. They always look awesome. Or maybe even the Keaton mask from MM.

>>107990880
jesus. too rich for my blood

>>107990880
I do alot of armor work with metal but Anodizing is extremely expensive. That's mainly why I like to work with resins due to their last-ability and your able to correct mistakes easier. Plus its much cheaper.

>>107991209
I am a metalurgist myself.

That does raise the question, what materials are you using for your masks?
Also do you work professionally making props?

>>107991557
I love all of the people on /v/ with unique hobbies and skills. Nobody ever believes I'm a marine biologist when I post in Deep Sea threads. Everyone's too busy circle jerking to OMG CTHULU COULD BE REEL to listen to facts.

>>107991063

I still have the prototype lying around, it's not wearable as it's only the exterior surface, I supose i could make plastic ones by simply layering plastic on the prototype, but it will never look genuinely metallic.

>>107991726
Ghostcrawler posts on /v/?
In all seriousness though, what is your area of study in the field? I'm curious.

hey can you make the mask those predator monsters use? ive ALWAYS wanted one

>>107990461
Hoooollllllyyyyyy Shiiiiitttttt.

All of my money take it!

Dude.

Have you paid prototype?

It'd probably be ten different kinds of expensive, but would you do a full costume of Alex's armor form with interchangeable arm pieces for the different "weapons"?

Because that would be badass.

Mask salesmen

i am the Aussie poster/tuskan
Would an Ooga Bugga mask from Crash be possible ?

(i'm worried about the feathers)

>>107992427
played* prototype.

>>107992617
Talking to OP. See my correction.

Hey, OP!
Assuming about $100 per mask, how would you feel about creating all 30 masks from Majora's Mask?
I don't have the cash for such an endeavor, but I am interested in seeing if you would be amenable to such an agreement?

>>107991557
For my masks I use a high grade Fiberglass resin mixed with a few other resins to make it stronger. I also use a few layers of matting to strengthen it even more. The armor I make for movies generally cannot be destroyed unless you really try.

>>107992708
Yes I have played Prototype and was thinking of doing something like that. Also have been thinking of making a full sized Tyrant from RE too.

>>107992947
Creepy guy, do you have a homepage or contact info you could give out?

Fucking christ, if the Majoras Mask one is as good as the death mask, I'll be buying the shit out of it.
Thatd be amazing on my wall....

*dreams*

Keep up the amazing work, loving it
>bookmarked

& +1 for the boss masks
& what about the deku, zora, goron and fierce deity masks? ;D

>>107993053
That would be AMAZING.

Especially the claws, blade, etc.

My only Question is how would someone see out of it since the armor form design has no obvious eye holes.

>>107993054
Bloodsin12@gmail.com or my etsy is http://www.etsy.com/listing/77988809/creepy-death-mask

>>107992921
Daw, asking a pointless question just to fit in.
Sho cute.

Any idea on how much it would cost to make this, Mask Salesman?

>>107993201
You have no idea how much I hate you right now.

>>107993212
More than you have=D

>>107993295
whats the biggest thing you've created thus far?

Do you have a blog where we can follow your progress or something??!!!!????????

>>107993212
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a Rathalos? Let alone kill them for materials, just for cosplay.

>>107993295
I'll forgive you for using an emote just this one time because you make really cool masks.

>>107993413
I've made a giant brain the size of a bus.

OP, when I have more cash I will buy the shit out of this stuff. Keep up the good work.

>>107993295

This is pretty strange, as I was considering e-mailing you about an estimated commission price for that set of armor, actually. I'd understand if you don't want to give me an estimated quote in the thread, but assuming I did e-mail you with the request and was able to meet the quote (which I'm most certain I would), would you actually be willing to undertake a project that large for the right price?

Speaking of me anyone live in SoCal? In the SFV by chance?

>>107994032
>>107994032
I live in the 909, why do you ask?

>>107994032
I'm in LA county, but you're relatively close considering.

>>107994026
The main problem with this suit is that it was made by a team of artists. To make this suit with a team we would charge upwards of 20k in movie costs.

OP

please.

I must ask this of you.

Phanto.

If you did a Phanto mask, it'd be fucking amazing

>>107994142
I'm looking for some...guinea pigs for projects...mwahaha

>>107994204
fucking hell
Now Im not going to sleep tonight

OP, a quick question:

Do you ever worry about getting sued for copyright infringement? How do you maintain this business without having corporations breathing down your back for money in exchange for selling their intellectual property?

So CMS, how much money have you made so far from your hobby?

>>107994335

When it comes down to it, their intellectual property was originally inspired by something. So their property is no more theirs than the original design. Alot of the masks in MM were taken from outside sources aka tribal masks, japanese masks etc.

>>107994500
Pretty sure they could still find a way to get to you, but what you're doing is so small-scale that they would be wasting their time.

>>107994204

This.

>>107994587
exactly, if a company would waste their resources on getting me to stop, then they really would be wasting resources. I do this mainly for fun and side profit. I do not really make much on each mask.

>>107994500
Fair point, but what about this star wars and monster hunter stuff? Are those licensed or is this business not large enough to be a blip on their lawyers' radar?

Do you dare, OP, DO YOU DARE?

>>107994700
In essence yes, originally George Lucas tried to stop things from being made but he realized it was a horrible idea and no matter what he did, people would still make things.

shit, OP.

I'd fucking love a Stone Mask to put on my wall.

>>107994761
I have to admit Bionicle came out when I was in my late teens so I didn't get the point of em.

>>107994784
Lucas is a greedy jew anyway.

Very well then, carry on! Nice work!

How much would the Jack of Blades mask run? I may be seriously interested if the price is right.

>>107979199
You should go the extra mile and add in fake/real teeth to the mask instead of carving them in.

>>107995015
Well I have a lot of interest in it. The problem is the very first run of it is the most expensive. Mainly due to the cost of the mold/materials/time. Being as I enjoy the game, the very first run and mask would prolly run 200.

>>107995107
So.....what kind of guinea pigs?

>>107994885
BIonicles had the Toa, who were robot-people with awesome powers and a nifty design that sparked the imagination.
That fucking first generation Ice Toa, mang.

>>107995079
That would have been fine but the thing about the redeads is their mask IS their face so the teeth have to fit the mask.

I want to know, OP.

Have you made yourself a Happy Mask Salesman costume, with a bunch of your self-made masks attached to the giant backpack?

>>107995138
Guinea Pigs to have lots and lots of anal sex with. Actually I moved out here a bit ago and wouldn't mind havin some Bro's around.

>>107995107
Two-hundred whole American doll-hairs?

But in all seriousness, I'm a huge fan of the mask as well due to my slightly unhealthy adoration for the original Fable.

A lot of issue I have with such a steep price is the fact that it is the first, it's quite a risk to throw $200 on something I've no direct reference to. Based on your other works, I would make the assumption that it should be good. But I'm well versed in business and I know that a handful of wonderful products does not a perfect artist make.

>>107995316
I swear to god if I ever win the lottery I am tracking you down and getting a custom fit Prototype Suit w/ attachments.

>>107995201
>>107995201
hmm it's just that the teeth seem very 2D in your mask.

>>107995419
Indeed it does, but the reference material was also in 2D hehe

>>107995393
Original Jack of Blades voice > TLC Jack of Blades voice.

gray cowl or gtfo

>>107995393
I see your concern, but only you can take the first jump, I'm just here to catch

>>107995316
i wish i lived near you

you seem like a swell guy
and i'd lock you up in my basement with your tools and thousands of dollars worth of fibre glass resin and wood then force you to make me masks

>>107995629

you catch eh?

this thread was made a month ago and you still haven't made a fucking majoras mask?

>>107995641
You wouldn't have to lock me up hehe. Give me infinite amount of supplies and I would make gold. I also want to make a Mecha-Hitler suit.

>>107995774
Well there's the whole work thing and my wife and the other commissions and etc.

>>107995800
I'd pay for a wax-replica head to finish it!

>>107995915
Lol if I actually did it and finished it, I would actually dress as Hitler. I don't give a fuck I would be mecha Hitler.

OP, serious question.

How much would you charge for a Dr. Doom costume made of steel?

>>107995888
Wait, a married man on /v/?!

GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

FUUCCKKINNGG COWL OF NOCTURNAL
i'd actually pay up to $130 for this and it seems very easy and wouldn't take long. but my opinions are worthless here as i don't know how the business works

>>107995629
Make it $125. For the risk I'm taking with this being the first mask and all. Even though I trust you CAN make a stunning mask. I'm not quite sure I can trust you to make this mask as incredible as it seems in text.

>>107996053
The mask is the only thing on that costume that makes any sense to be in steel. The rest is so unrealistic you would not be able to move.

>>107996159
I'd imagine that metal pieces with a rubber suit on under the armor would work fine.

but how much WOULD a full Dr. Doom helmet made of steel be, just out of morbid curiosity?

Need a plague doctor mask

>>107996332
The main problem is to make it fit you, I would have to take a lifecast of your body. Which would require you to be here in CA.

>>107996332
>more than you have

>>107996389
I am designing something for a movie that might be right up your alley. It's the horseman of Pestilence and he wears a plague doctor masks that is part of his face.

>>107996417
How long would it take you and how much would it cost for you to make a plague doctor mask along with a hood fitted around the mask?

>>107996425

don't be so sure. I am more than willing to sell my kidney for Doom armor.

>>107996417
Damn.

>>107991726
Have you ever recovered a golf ball from a whale?

>>107996542
No interest in bartering? If the price is right, I'm 100% in on the Jack of Blades mask. But as I said, $200 is not quite what I'm happy to part with.

So I ask you, would $125 be a fair price? Trade-off for the risk I'm taking? And I can assure you that I'll spread your name around to people who are also interested in masks.

>>107996542
would you be interested of doing Mask of Nocturnal (From oblivion, Gray Cowl)

or is your work with fabric/leatheror whatever material the cowl is not as flexable ?

>>107996763
I have a few people interested so email me at Bloodsin12@gmail.com so I have your email.

>>107996542

I am interested, go on

>>107979972

>think gets matter if you didn't call them out
Go back to /b/. Doubles don't work like that here.
Disappointing vidya brony.

>>107996815
I actually would prolly make it out of leather and I would charge maybe 150?

>>107996897
It's pretty complicated and I'm under NDA but basically it's a plague doctors mask for Pestilence.

But please for the love of god, if you really want something commissioned email me! Posting it here I prolly won't get to it.

>>107997123

Make one with glowing red eyes and I will throw buckets of money at you

>>107997123
you said you made a doomguy armor right?
have you made the helmet too?

>>107997224
Do you have the ability to make something like this?

>>107997224
FUCK YOU.

I WOULD IF I COULD!

This thread is just like going to a car show. All this awesome stuff that you can't possibly afford is being dangled in front of your nose.

if I had the money, I would TOTALLy commission all of the remains masks and Majora's Mask. And if I had even more money I would fly down myself to be fitted for a Prototype suit.

I'll be willing to pay $1,500 for an altair costume. Friend of mine is also interested, but in a Marcus Fenix suit. He'll be willing to pay roughly the same price. $3,000 for the Industrial Knight armor from Fable 3 sound good? Do you think it would cost more, or?

ATTENTION ARMOR FAGS : QUIT BEING FAGGOTS.

OP makes masks. Masks are a lot easier and cost effective for him to make. Making armor and mailing it out is nigh impossible and he's fucked if you don't pay him, and you're fucked if he doesn't finish or the moulds don't work and if it doesn't fit your fat ass.

Try asking for ACTUAL MASKS. Not helmets, or armor, BUT FUCKING MASKS.

He will likely take your commission at that point seriously.
