    Are you trying to make this mask with "total accuracy" in mind? Because if you are, it still needs a lot of work from the point of these pictures. Here are some tips, again assuming that total accuracy of the sculpture to the original is your ultimate goal:1.) The neck of the original H5 masks was sculpted very anatomically correct, and not very large in diameter...The flare when wearing it comes from the long slit up to the top of the cranium in each mask, coupled with the very thinly-cast amount of latex in each screen-used mask. Also, one trap muscle is higher than the other, almost as if Don Shanks was sitting with one elbow propped up on a chair arm while his lifecast was taken.2.) The cheeks are far too overdetailed and appear too "fat" in your photos, and the jaw is far too boxy. Maybe you could shave down the face around and below the cheekbones to make it look more thin and pointy. (This will be useful whether you're going for "sculptural accuracy" OR "worn mask accuracy", as the head is far too wide for either form at this point.)Other than those two things, it's looking pretty good - easily 10 times better than your first attempt. The nose and eyes in particular look wonderful. It just seems that the center part of the face doesn't quite fit well on the head shape you've created. Shaving about 1.5 to 2 pounds of clay off that sculpture in the correct areas will help you quite a bit in the realm of sculptural accuracy and yield a far better result in the finished pieces.Cheers,Ryan

    Like I said, it's come quite a ways since those pics were taken. A lot of 'toning down' in some areas, and 'punching up details' in others. In these pics, the eyebrows aren't even on yet, and the ears haven't been finished.Once he's completely done, I'll be going over him and giving him some texture. I've seen the 'screen-used' mask quite a few times, talked extensively with a Make-Up Artist in L.A. who 'cleaned it up' a few years back, and of course, I've spoken to Greg Nicotero (who's former partner Bob Kurtzman sculpted the mask for H5) about some finer details.I'm sure that anyone interested in a new H5 mask will be happy with it. I actually put on H5 yesterday while working on the sculpt. I really got into it again. I remember when it first came out and I saw it when I was 14. I couldn't stand it, compared to H4. I thought that it was really rushed (which mind you, Moustapha Akkad said many times that it was), but I guess that it's grown on me over the past few years, because I really enjoy it now. Mabye it's the nostalgia, or mabye I'm comparing it with the HORRIBLE HalloweeN films that are coming out now, but I like it and consider it part of the series. I also love seeing Pleasence doing his thing!! Anyway, these will be for sale, and the price will be the same as the PAYBACK when it was released 3 years ago. $225.00 U.S. shipped.-A
