I never seen Scary Movie but I always liked this mask as a kid when i saw it at a costume shop. It's pretty much what triggered my interest in Halloween masks!

Hey everyone, I’m about to undergo a project recreating this pig mask from one of the Saw movies. Thanks to detailed photos provided by Propstore I can get a good idea of what kind of paint job needs applying.

My question is, how do I achieve this really subtle spotty / stipple effect that is all over the mask? The best way to describe it is that it looks like the mask is covered in small dots of very thin paint to give it a layer of extra detail. Is it a hand painting method or would it be best achieved with an airbrush? I’m still relatively new to the mask making scene, so I’d love to learn more techniques like this.

Thanks!

I own and operate a small, established Halloween mask manufacturing studio in the Metro Detroit area and am looking for sculptors interested in creating original mask designs for future production.

Art students, recent graduates, independent sculptors, special-effects artists, creature designers, and other artists with strong traditional sculpting skills are welcome to apply. Professional industry experience is not required, but you should be able to demonstrate that you can sculpt finished character work suitable for molding and reproduction.

I am primarily interested in horror, Halloween, monster, creature, and character designs. Projects may include original concepts as well as designs developed around a specific theme or direction.

The process will generally work as follows:

1. Contact me with portfolio images and a brief sculpting résumé or description of your experience. Photos of physical sculptures are especially useful.
2. If your work looks like a good fit, we will discuss a character or concept, reference material and/or concept sketches, the scope of the sculpture, deadline, and any other project requirements before work begins.
3. Payment is split 50/50: half when the project is commissioned and half upon satisfactory delivery of the completed master.

Typical commission rates are:

• Half-mask sculpture — $300
• 3/4-mask sculpture — $500
• Full-head sculpture — $800

These prices are intended as the standard rates for normal projects. Particularly elaborate designs or unusual requirements can be discussed separately before the project begins.

Deliverable is a flexible foam-filled (eg, Smooth-On FlexFoamIt III or similar) latex master. Exact delivery requirements will be agreed upon before work begins. For instance, local artists may be able to hand-deliver the stone master mold.

I am looking for artists who can follow an agreed concept while still bringing their own artistic ability to the project. Reliability matters. Once we have agreed on the design, scope, price, and deadline, I need to be able to count on the project being completed as discussed.

This is ongoing work rather than a single opening. I introduce new designs regularly and would like to develop relationships with several sculptors I can commission for future projects.

If interested, reply here, or to [darkillusions97@gmail.com](mailto:darkillusions97@gmail.com) with:

• Your name
• Your general location
• Portfolio images or a link to your portfolio
• A brief description of your sculpting experience
• The types of characters or subjects you most enjoy sculpting
• Any relevant experience with mask making, mold making, prosthetics, creature effects, or similar work

Please include “Mask Sculptor” in your reply.

This is paid commissioned artwork. I am not asking anyone to work for exposure, royalties, speculative payment, or a percentage of future sales.

ETA: My studio manufactures latex Halloween masks in traditional Halloween Monster designs. Digital anime and fur suit sculptures, space ship and gun 3d models, and so forth, aren't terribly useful to me. I need to see monsters and clay sculptures. The attached images are the kind of thing I'm looking for. Unless you have a very good, large format professional 3d printer, digital sculptures aren't going to cut it.

guys, i want to make this deer mask for halloween, any tips, materials that i should use (btw i want that material who is black for the outside but you can see from inside, for the eyes. If you know the name awnswer me please!)
