Using a side profile design, I have used Photoshop to experiment with different colour finishes for the final mask. This design incorporates large scales which I have re-created in yellow foam to show how they would sit into the head's surface. The sketch model has significant depth between each scale as I then painted this with liquid latex, which naturally fills out the crevices once cured. I have decided to produce my colour samples in photoshop as I have since been able to modify the colours used quickly and easily. The tones shown here are from my most natural and soft design. I have since worked back on top of this image using a graphics tablet to add definition and brighter colouring. As the client suggested the use of glitter around the eyes, I have added a black, dotted detail to show where this would be. A common fault with both my designs and sculpts is the positioning of the eyes as they will sit further forward on the final head. I have since corrected one of my clay sculpts as a guide to work from in a larger scale.
