Vanity Aflame Step 3
For step 3, I focused on fleshing out the background and really making it look like clouds. I also decided to change my plans for the opening in the clouds from a town to an island. After all what self respecting fire bird would prefer a city to an island paradise?

Dragon Mask - Step 3 Image
At this point I've gotten the base color darkened up nicely and I'm starting work on the scale painting. The materials next to the mask are things I'm considering incorporating into the final.

Here's the first coat of paint. The whole thing is way too bright but everything needs a starting point right?

Dragon Mask - Step 1 Image
Originally, I was going to post a series of images detailing the process of this mask after it was complete. I've since decided that I may as well break up the posting.
I generally don't rush through making a mask, but I have to admit the sheer amount of time I spent thinking about this one before I even began was extreme. I'm pretty sure it counts in months and not days. Because this was such a departure to the masks I've done in the past I had to work out how I wanted it to conform to the face, how wide the bridge of the nose could be, where the eyes would be placed and how I was planning to decorate it - all before I even began!
The first step was to create a form I could use to drape the paper mache over. I used a cheap air day clay mounted on a giant easter egg of all things. (For anyone wondering, the easter egg has roughly the same size and over shape as the human face.) It worked well, although once I finally got my paper mache shaped the form I used broke. :(
The image below is what the paper mache mask looked like after it had been removed from the form and lightly sanded.
