I have talked before about being inspired by Pixel-Dan's Mosquitor t-shirt, (where'd he get that from by the way?). I've been looking around the net for other symbol t-shirts because I think they would make a great base with which to build a costume theme around. So far I managed to find these.
I really liked the battle armour he-man and Skeletor symbol shirts (shown above) and decided to attempt a skeletor mask. (I figured if I can perfect that one, then I could make any character after that - he is the hardest to do in my opinion). I have seen loads of Skeletor fan art that could be made into some 'fan-tastic' masks, (excuse the pun), however for my first attempt I was keen to pay homage to the original incarnation of this character, which for me was how he looked in the filmation cartoons. My first early attempts so far are working out really well. I have made a rough mock-up to test the jaw, which is a separate part and seems to be functioning as predicted. It's still catching in a few places but nothing I can't sort out given time. Will post a video of it when this mask is finished. What do you think so far though?
