Mask making help

[prisma meteor]

Hello im trying to make this mask and maybe the ears too but idk where to even start •-• pls help ty

[lost ivy]

What you struggle with specifically?

[prisma meteor]

Uh everything

Idk how to make a mask

[lost ivy]

Alright.

If you have access to EVA foam, you can use that and carve out the shape, it's a very sturdy foam cosplayers use to make props and such

You will just need good ventilation when you sand it bcs it's toxic

You can use modgepodge, I think, as a base to help paint stick to it but you might be able to just do a primer coat right away

I dont have any personal experience with EVA foam but ik a cosplayer who has used it before that I can ask for help

Hope this helps in some way

[prisma meteor]

Yesss ty butter ill try to find some and hope i wont die

[lost ivy]

Please don't die, I'd probably cry!

Happy I could help

[prisma meteor]

I shall sand it on my balcony so i dont die then

Now where does one find eva foam

[lost ivy]

Good question, I can help look

[lost ivy]

Just found some on Switzerland amazon

[prisma meteor]

What if i made it out of clay and then baked it

[lost ivy]

Would be extremely heavy and fragile

[prisma meteor]

Not that type of clay

Oo wait

Papermache

[lost ivy]

Which clay?

Ohh

I believe that could actually work rly well, yeah

[prisma meteor]

Not the clay i was talking bout lol but ye papermache would workkk

I think

[lost ivy]

I think it would, might want to stress test smaller pieces first so you don't do the whole mask and it ends up as a faliar

[prisma meteor]

Yeaa

Or i could find some bowl

Plastic bowl

But eh
