Paper Clay Masking: White Rabbit

Making a mask with paper clay. A start to finish time lapse. Total time worked, 8 hrs. A lot of sanding not pictured. I left the piece about 3 days to dry before removing it from the base.

Watching this in 2018: Hmm, what a creative usage of toilet paper.

2020: tHE TOILET PAPER.

Great work. Your thoughts and commentary would have been thousands of times more welcome than the music however.

Wonderful work! You're sculpting is a sight to behold, I like the shape of the rabbit face, good design choices.

...Follow the white Rabbit...

This is why we ran out of toilet paper

This is awsome! I’m an art student, and looking to do lots of masks as a final piece, and this is super useful and saves me spending a lot of time and Monday on the clay. Thank you!~

This would have been so much more helpful if you showed how you made the actual bunny base cause that's the most difficult part; its easy to build and mold clay if most of the structure is done already :/

The link helped a little, but the base of that mask was most linear (they added the curves later with clay), and a bunny's face has more curves. The base sadly is the most difficult part.

Love the look of teh White Rabbit mask. Very cool.

I honestly love this mask so much, but I do have to ask: What are the ears made out of and what did you spray then with?

[noraneko]

I love your black cat!!!X3
It’s so cute!!:3 and obviously, your mask is amazing!!!:D

What did you use for the ears? I was thinking using foam for elf ears.

Hey, could you please share how you made the tape base to protrude outward from your glass head?

[will-kyon]

I bet this is the tutorial vanny ( fnaf vr ) used to make her mask, this is really good and your way more productive ;v;

[gabrielblack]

Very beautiful! Talented! Never stop creating 😩😍

[helmacanno]

[eniryuuoke]

Looks AWESOME! 💖I want to make this myself now!

[onefeather]

You don't have too use flour, and it works as well.🙂

RIP anyone else wearing headphones. Nice mask design too.

Okay so I really want to make this myself for a couple of Halloween parties next month because this is really cool so I have a few questions:

1) How much did all of the materials cost overall?

2) How much previous experience with sculpting did you have before starting this project and do you think it would be doable for a complete beginner?

3) What grades of paper did you use for the sanding of the mask?

4) What was the substance you sprayed on the tooling leather to make it hold its shape?

5) Did you use a reference image to make sure the features of the rabbit face were all proportional or did you go by eye?

Any guidance you've got would be greatly appreciated, but if you don't have the time or can't answer, take my comment as an expression of appreciation. This is really neat. Well done

Edit: I also realise this was posted a year ago so I completely understand if there's a lot you don't remember

I know I'm late, but... How did you make the base for the head shape? I simply loved this mask, and would like to try to reproduce
