So you want to cosplay: How to make a Tobi mask

[Narutogokuwizard101]

@luckylucy73 won't deidara blow your face off since its clay

[iLlolomo010]

what id the mask get wet? would it be soft again?

[luckylucy73]

@iLlolomo010 Erm I'm not too sure, the paint would protect it to some extent but if it got soaked then it would ruin it.

[iLlolomo010]

@luckylucy73 i'm finish on the mask but every 1hour or less the mask has a crack! what should i do?

[luckylucy73]

@iLlolomo010 Fill the gaps in with car body filler or wet clay and smooth it down before it dries. That should get rid of all the cracks :)

[RockZlikeThT]

what is that song called?



[luckylucy73]

@RockZlikeThT The song name is in the credits at the end of the video :)

I have a few Q's: 1) How heavy does that mask weigh? Are we talking a couple of pounds? 2) When you painted it, did you use a primer before the orange? Thankies!

[luckylucy73]

@JoeMBusa 1) The clay I used was really heavy so you would be better off using model magic clay which would be a lot lighter.

2) I didn't use a primer before the orange paint however I had to do a couple of layers of the orange paint. You can use a primer if you want to :)

[JoeMBusa]

@luckylucy73 Do you think Model Magic really gets hard enough to make a mask?

Thankies!

[luckylucy73]

@JoeMBusa I think it will if you seal it in with any type of varnish or finish. 'Modge Podge' is ment to be good for making Model Magic clay harder but I don't know as I have never used it. But if you do give it a try, please let me know how it turns out!

[ninjakaraca44]

for clay I cold use paper mache?

[luckylucy73]

@ninjakaraca44 You could use paper mache however you would have to make a sculpture of the mask out of clay, wire mesh or plasticine in order to mold the paper mache over it and create the mask. It would be a lot more easier, quicker and cheaper way just to use crayola model magic clay for the mask. It would also be stronger than paper mache, it is easier to work with when adding the detail to it and look more effective than paper mache. But if you choose paper mache, let me know how it goes! ^^

[luckylucy73]

@jesusum17 You could try it! However it will take longer to dry than the hot glue and it may not be as strong as the hot glue. But try it out and let me know how it goes!

[wolf25705]

awesome

[luckylucy73]

@gaaralover1234561 I would say about 2-3 days as it will take about a day (if not more) for the clay to dry and a day for the paint to dry.

[you2661]

thank you so much for making this video! Hopefully next year i won't be teased for my bought mask XD. Also, would oil work in place of vaseline?

[luckylucy73]

@you2661 No problem! I haven't used oil in place of vaseline so I don't know if it would have the same effect or not! However i'm sure that olive oil would be good enough to make sure that the clay doesn't stick to the balloon. Do a tester first before you make your mask so that you can see if it works or not. I hope that helped :)

[NagatoUzumakii]

Great!!!

[IchigoSageMode]

what i s the song called?

[luckylucy73]

@IchigoSageMode Blue Bird by Ikimono Gakari

[luckylucy73]

@jesusum17 No problem! :D

[DocterE01]

use crayola model magic and its 1000 times easier, lighter and better cuz its already orange!

[luckylucy73]

@DocterE01 Oh yes! I had forgotten about that suff! Too bad I can't buy it where I live :( they don't sell it near me. I hope this video still helped though!

[LuigiLRBA]

AWESOME :D i made one like yours but with crayola model magic

the same process THIS WAS SO HELPFUL

[luckylucy73]

@LuigiLRBA Thank you! And I bet it turned out better because it isn't as heavy as clay!

[ARAkjub]

i think that the mask is very havey and break very easily

[luckylucy73]

@ARAkjub It depends what type of clay you use. I don't know what type of clay I used but it dried quite lighter that most clays. It is heavy (not too heavy) but it is also very strong. The reason I chose clay was because it was easy to apply detail to it and easy to get the effect that I wanted.

[Mattmeo11]

can you use orange clay?

[luckylucy73]

@Mattmeo11 Yes I guess you could! As long as it is air drying clay. You might want to paint it if the orange doesn't turn out the way you like it though. It would be nice to see the finished result!

[Mattmeo11]

Thanks! This was a real help as im cosplaying as Tobi for anime north 2010! You're a life saver!

[UltraNinjaChicken]

[luckylucy73]
