How is it, to cast in latex? Is it easer then paper machee and wire or is it harder/more expensive?

Latex is MUCH more expensive. Takes quite a lot longer to do, too. But I still prefer it, I find it better for fine detailing.

Hmmm. But is it easer to mold it and get the long face? I should look up some tutorials. Because I do like how stiffer masks are, but I also like latex rubbery types. (I am prone to accidentally crushing my masks.)

Er.. hmm. It depends on how you do the latex. The slush method is very expensive because it requires a LOT of latex, but the brushing method often doesn't come out so well, especially for things like long muzzles, spines, or any significant protrusions. It can often come out quite warped. You can kinda see an example of that in the lower front on image, where one side of the muzzle has warped just above the fang.
Larger latex masks also need re-inforcing or the latex won't hold its shape when worn.

Whatever you go with I'd be very interested in seeing though. :) Just checked out your gallery, you have some very cool looking critters.

LOL! Well I think for now I ought to try and get paper machee down again. (I haven't done it since 10th grade) maybe for Evil or something like that. And I've more creatures then that I assure you. I recently moved accounts so this is just a small bit of what I had. ^^ I really do adore masks however. A lot. And other crafty things. I also eventually wanted to incorporate the antlers I have laying around my room into something too. XD If not Im just going to super glue them to my helmet.

This is insane. Are you sure you aren't a master of latex masks?:D
The details are incredible and the colors are the icing on the cake. If this were commercially available I'm sure it would be quite popular. Amazing work!
