Satyr Helmet Mask

This is my Halloween mask for 2009.
I've been meaning to make a detailed mask like this for myself for ages!
He shall soon receive some padding, straps, synthetic fur, and paint retouches. He is made of Paper Mache Bark, Monster Bone, wire, and acrylic paint.

Update: no longer just a half head mask, he shall be a fully rigid helmet mask, just like last years' halloween costume. I did make good straps and padding, but I judged it to be a step backward in comfort, so I move forward. This means I have two days left to finish him as a helmet. I have a halloween party on the 24th, and cannot think of going without the finished product.


Update: Mask was finished on time for party. Good success with it. Decided to open the mouth to facilitate speaking in noisy crowds. Was a better success at the Centra Canada Comicon, judging by people's reactions and comments.
Will post better pics of the entire costume when time allows. In the meantime, here are two good shots taken by Andrew Young, of Unraku.

Alley, glove puppet

Alley is already showing signs of being a bit of tom-boy.
She is going to be a Birth gift for a little girl.
Work in progress. Paper Mache Bark, Monster Bone, acrylic paint, synthetic yarn.

Mario Of Many Faces

Finally, here are some pics of Mario, the tabletop puppet with interchangeable wigs/facial hair.

His head, hands and feet are paper mache. The Head and wigs have rare earth magnets embedded in them. The body's PVC tubing, sculpted Polyfoam, a little bit of wood, and nylon webbing. PVC Pipes are used as handles for head and lower back. He was created for a league of theatrical Improvisation with puppets, as the main character. Hence his "Everyman" looks and versatile features.
