I know that the next Abomination video was expected, but this cast had been lying around my room for the longest time and I simply just had to paint it. Came out much better than I even expected it to! Compared it to the first cast to see how far I’ve come. I noticed a shit load of self improvement haha! It really made my day. As far as Abomination, I probably won’t be able to paint him for a couple of day. My sculpting final is next week and I’m trying to hurry it along so I can get back to mask making. Hopefully I’ll be done soon. I may paint other masks in between Abomination such as Cynical Circus, Ghost, Facial Infestation, Silent Soul, and Shadow. I have one blank of each of those masks and I thought I’d test out my airbrush on some old casts and compare them to my old masks. Should be fun! As far as the un-named mask, still having a tough time naming the damn thing haha! I got tons of suggestions on the video to choose from. How will I pick? I have no clue haha! I haven’t gotten to working on the sculpt either, but I will in my spare time. If I’m not airbrushing a mask. Which do you like better? The old version of “ThE HoRRoR” or the newer …

In this tutorial Scott from tutorialstop.com shares some tips for using the elliptical marquee tool and demonstrates how to use layer masks.

Songs – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – Autopsy: Dark Crusade Autopsy: Ridden with Disease ShadowMakerofMasks: Electric Trauma. I do not own Autopsy, I don’t own their songs, they’re not mine, so wabam. Glad to get that cleared out of the way. That sure is a long title… Anyhoo, decided to make a video of me putting the finishing touches on Ghost. I still have to put a light shade of black over the corners of the screen, but I won’t make a video of that. I feel like I’ve wasted way to much time on Ghost, but my armature is broken anyways. After I finish the paintjob on Facial Infestation, I probably won’t make videos for awhile. If I do, they’ll be mostly half masks. That isn’t necessarily a bad thing though. I like the fact that you can let your hair hang in front of the mask. It gives it more character. A psychotic look to it. It’s pretty cool! I don’t know when I’ll be done with facial infestation, but I don’t think I’ll be making an airbrush video for him. I might, but most likely not. He should look cool in the end though. I have honestly no clue what to do next besides paint Facial Infestation. College starts in about 2 weeks for me, so I might prepare for that. As far as the half masks, just stay tuned for those because I’ve got so many that I would love to make. Darker creations. Frowning faces. Different monsters from desolate places. It should be, horrific . Stay alert, and stay tuned! ~Shadow

Music ——————————- 1. Song: Focus Shift – Artist: Dark Tranquility – 2. Song: Monochromatic Stains – Artist: Dark Tranquility – ——————————— Holy hell, this video took three hours to upload. DAYUM! Haha. Anyways, there are a whole lotta things happening right now. Just got foam for my masks so now they don’t feel like latex. THANK GOD. Haha. So, all masks made from now on will have foam for EXTRA COMFORT. Yay. Moving on, I will be getting latex within this week! BOOYA! So now I will be making another cast of Abomination, as well as the extra cast of Silent Soul. I still haven’t the slightest idea of when I will be getting the inks, but as soon as I sell the first mask, the inks will be coming sooner. The inks are about 50 bucks so I’ve gotta sell both of the Silent Soul casts before I can purchase them. After I purchase the inks, I can finally paint Abomination! Mwahaha! I look forward to it. Moving on to the new mask; a clown. I thought it would be nice to change it up a bit. After all, every great mask maker has their take on clowns. However, I have a vision that cannot come to life on this particular armature. The nose is too damn big, The chin to is damn small, and there is so much to complain about, that I will refrain from doing so haha. I don’t think I’ll make the clown mask. As much as I’d like to, I just wouldn’t be happy with my sculpt. I wouldn’t have full control of the form. So, I’ll probably just sculpt random stuff …

I got hired to make the mask for St. Joseph’s University’s upcoming production of The Phantom of the Opera. They wanted two (one for a back up). The first shots are of the sculpt I did in clay on the actor’s positive. I unfortunately didn’t record the slush-casting of the mask with neoprene. I’ll do that next time. This video shows some trimming, but mostly airbrushing the paint job. This mask is very deceptive. Commonly people think it’s a simple white mask, but if there are not shadows and highlights in the paint, the character will disappear under stage lights. If you’d like any custom made masks, email me at jay@tribeoffools.org and we can talk about your project. The music I used is Midlake. You need to buy their album here: midlake.bigcartel.com They are awesome. I bought the neoprene here: www.criticalcoatings.com

I got hired to make the masks for St. Joseph’s University’s Phantom of the Opera. As they prepared for tech, they came back and asked me to create his latex makeup appliance also. I had very little time to make this, so I had to do it with slip cast liquid latex. Foam latex would have made a much better appliance, but I needed to pop these out in just a couple of days. In this video you see me sculpting the appliance, casting the negative mold in plaster, pouring the slip latex, removing the pull, trimming the flashing, mixing the color and painting it using the same Kryolan Aquacolor makeup the actor would apply to the rest of his face for a seamless blend between the appliance and his skin. Kryolan Aquacolor is great for latex because there is no change in pigmentation from latex to skin. Cream based makeups need to be applied to latex that has been sealed with castor oil so the pigment will blend. There’s no need to seal the latex when using Kryolan Aquacolor, which can also be diluted to work through an airbrush. If you’d like any custom made masks, makeup appliances, puppets, or just about anything else email me at jay@tribeoffools.org so we can talk about your project. The music I used is The Grudge by Tool from their album Lateralus. If you don’t have it yet (and I don’t know why you wouldn’t) you need to buy it here: www.amazon.com

I got this face from a Wolfe Brothers Book… It took me about a half hour or so to do it, so yes… I sped it up quite a bit for the video. It was very challenging actually, but like with the vast majority of the faces I have put up, this was my first attempt at it. Thanks for watching.

Music ——————— 1. Song: Big Sur Moon – Artist: Buckethead – 2. Song: Hiiro No Sora – Artist: Shakugan no Shana – ————————————– So! Finished sculpting Shadow! I must say he looks pretty damn awesome! I have big plans for the mask itself. I won’t just be using paint on this mask. I’ll be using some other materials to make him look rustic and worn. In this video, I show the things that I would usually show in two separate videos. The entire molding process + the slip casting of the mask. I will apply the other layers of latex off camera. The mask needs another layer or so, and It’s set. Another day or two and I’ve got myself a new Shadow. Looking forward to that day. In other news, got the other sculpt sitting in my room now. Don’t know what the hell to call him. He might not be a devil. I might change him, AGAiN! Haha. We’ll see what happens. Stay tuned! ~Shadow

Psycho Paint is a platinum silicone rubber that is used to paint platinum rubbers. It can be pigmented and diluted with solvents to be brushed or airbrushed onto platinum silicone rubber castings.
