After blocking out and refining the shapes for this mask, I smoothed it out and added details such as the eye loops.
In image 1), half of the face had been smoothed out using a brush and lighter fluid; this dissolves a small amount of the chavant, leaving it smooth. This picture also shows the difference between the circular eye loop before and after being blended into the rest of the mask.
Image 2) shows the finished thing, ready to be smoothed over once more before being cast.
Seeing as the body is quite delicate and light I will have to consider the weight of the mask when casting, and because of this I feel that solid resin would be inappropriate. Currently I'm considering biscuit foam or slush cast resin to be more suitable.
