Wolf-Mask - Walkthrough 05

The Project
My fiancé and I are working on the project of making a wolf fullsuit. It should be wearable for days, to go on a Live Action Role Play (LARP). But we want to do it with different Addons, like stilts and when its possible Anmiatronics inside.

This is an addition to the fifth step of a little photo-walkthrough making the mask for my manwolf.

new mask
When there was the time to set in the eyes I realized that full bowls make the follow-me-effec to strong and you wouldn´t see so much. The older mask had other flaws too. The jaw sat a centimeter to low and a plate going over the head would be great for the jaw mechanism.
So I made a new one, but this time cast out of resin with glass fibre, like the jaws I made before.
The former mask is going to be a quad-suit-head now.

eyes
The eyes are made of clear resin with a yellow LED inside. The eyelids are modeld with air-drying modelling-clay.

joint
The joint is made out of a thin metal-string, you can see how the mechanism works in the pictures. It´s really hard to make it movable and good looking. I´m not really satisfied with the form. It´s to high and to broad, but it is the best I can do for now.
I´ll try to make it look good with changing other proportutions a bit with foam later.

nose
The nose was modelled in Fimo and later cast in Latex. Maybe I gonna make a bigger one later.
