Im trying to help my friend out with his costume, hes gonna be freddy krueger for halloween.I know there freddy masks they sell at stores, but we want to try and do it ourselvesI cant imagine its that hard, and Im a pretty crafty person but havent ever tried anything past face-painting and paper-mache in the realm of masks.Some ideas i have are working with liquid latex(which i read about in a book)I also heard of rigid collodion, but im not sure thats what i needMy biggest issue is in how im going to texturize the bumps/scars on his face, i figure i can just paint the muscle on the flat surfaces that remainAny ideas would help A LOT, thanks
I don't know how much exact detail your after but to make a haggard bad complexion like his you can make a mold of your friends face with a few layer of aluminum foilRest it on some scrunched up paper as a supportCover with strips of paper mach'e Use pureed paper pulp to get the desired shape and bulk you are afterBeing crafty you probably know what I'm talking about without going in to too much detailJust use three different shades of skin color paint, dark being the main, medbeing the sides of his ,lumps bits, light being on the top of his crators scars etc.
