Not a video game, but still fairly nerdy, eh? No Face from Spirited Away.

IN REGARDS TO ALL THE MAJORA’S MASK REQUESTS:

Ok, folks. Not dead. At least not entirely. I’ve been a busy bee and haven’t been able to make many new masks outside what I do for my shop. There’s some stuff in the works, but who knows how long it’ll take for them to appear.

So in the meantime, I thought I’d point the many people who requested a Majora’s Mask tutorial in the right direction. There is a very big reason why I haven’t tackled this one yet(on top of the whole busy bee business) and that is because a girl has already made an awesome video tutorial for it. And here it is.

AGAIN I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THIS VIDEO. IT’S ALL THE FABULOUS SKILLS OF MEAGANSASSAFRAS ON YOUTUBE.

Not what I promised, but I made this as a gift for the medic to my heavy so I thought I’d might as well make a tutorial for it. The lovely Blighted Beak mask for the medic. Due to my odd obsession with plague doctors I am surprised this didn’t come up sooner. Alright, kiddies, allons-y.

Here’s what you’ll need:

- Leather (Varying thicknesses. Don’t know the technical measurements, so check the pics. Used a somewhat thick stuff for most of the mask, then a little bit of thin material for ze “goggles”)

- Leather scissors or just some strong scissors

- x-acto

- Leather hole punch

- a “gold” buckle (mine was probably smaller than what’s in the game version, so size is up to you)

- Rivets

- Clear acrylic plastic (I bought a cheap acrylic frame from michael’s)

- Acrylic paint: White and burnt umber(or whatever sort of brown strikes your fancy)

- Super glue (My trusty solution for everything. Super glue all your problems away)

Bioshock’s Sander Cohen mask. Made upon request from a customer. Crafted out of leather.

Sorry for the long delay. And after all that time, not even a tutorial to show for it. A Skyrim Dragonborn Helm tutorial is in the works. Promise.

Creeper Inspired Leather Mask - Minecraft

Non-tutorial round. Plan on making a GOOD tutorial for an accurate creeper mask. Here is me mocking the shitty failed Creeper head. That tutorial shall never see the light of day for obvious reasons.

So here’s a quick showcase to hold ya over until the next tut. May be longer stretches in between thanks to lack of funds and increased complexity. I’m thinking Bioshock or Skyrim for the next round, chaps and chappesses. Thanks for looking.

Ok, so this week was SUPPOSE to be a Creeper mask tutorial. HOWEVER, after many hours of tedious measuring, taping, more taping, and painting, it turned out like an ugly mo fo(not in a good way). I put a boot through its ugly mo fo face and threw this last minute tut together. Loved Arkham Asylum, and just played Arkham City. So time to show some Harley Quinn love.

Here’s what you’ll need:

- 8 oz leather

- leather scissors(or just some powerful ones)

- x-acto

- pen

- scrap paper

- black acyrlic paint

I know I’m going to have a field day with the masks from Valve’s Team Fortress 2. Thankfully I don’t make hat tutorials or I would never escape. So here’s a Bonk Boy mask for Scout (a class that I suck terribly at, mind you). Probably the first “clean” looking mask I’ve ever made.

Here’s what you’ll need:

- Cintra PVC foamboard(3mm thick)

- Paper Clay(not pictured)

- Hot glue gun

- Metallic paint (I used Folk Art Metallic Bright Red, Folk Art Metallic Silver Sterling, and Folk Art Metallic Inca Gold)

- Sand paper (Medium)

- X-acto blade

- Scrap paper and board

- Cheap plain mask or mold (Optional - I found it made shaping the cintra MUCH easier)

- Elastic band

For my very first mask tutorial I felt it was appropriate to create a mask from the very shop I shamelessly ripped off when naming and designing this tumblr: The Happy Mask Shop from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Here’s what you’ll need:

- Cintra PVC foamboard(3mm thick)

- Paper Clay

- Hot glue gun

- Acyrlic paint - white and burnt umber

- Sand paper (Medium)

- Scissor, X-acto blade, and a mark making tool(I ended up using a looped clay tool)

- Scrap paper and board

- Elastic band
