Dragon Priest Mask for ChimneySwift11

A mask to accessorize with

This was purely a gift project for one of the great YouTube personalities I’ve had the chance to work with with, ChimneySwift11. He always shows up with a smile, puts up with hours of our BS, and rocks some very distinctive neon green shoes. 

For E3 2013, I figured he needed something to go along with those jammin kicks, so I stenciled out his logo over a mask to match em. 

I started off with a pull from my existing mold, then base-coated it with a rattle-can chrome. Before putting on the green, I used mustard around the edges I wanted to flake and peel. It is water soluble and doesn’t adhere to the piece so when you spray over it, you can easily peel and flake the paint off to get a neat chipped-paint effect. 

The clear-coat over the top may have been a bit of a mistake since it tends to cause metallics to go dull. I need to research if there are any ways to put protectant over a metallic finish that keeps it’s original look.
