Thread: Anubis mask

Tweet

Here's an Anubis mask that I made for our Egyptian theme. I made it from a "blank male mask" and I built up ears and muzzle using alum foil, paper mache, etc.

Not super happy with it. The mask doesn't quite fit me. When it fits under my chin, which is how the blank mask is supposed to, I can't see directly out the eyes. I may try to find a werewolf/wolf mask that i can remove the hair.

Here, why don't you just throw one of these together...?

Looks like a nice quick afternoon project.

Wow - that's a great and original idea. Good job!

Looks good. Rather than going with a different mask, could you just extend the chin with more paper mache?

From what I can tell, most Anubis masks do not have a lower jaw as seen here:



I would just cut the lower part of the mask off and re-paint it. Then use black makeup around your eyes and lower face, maybe some gold lipstick.

If you want to re do the mask, I would suggest buying a latex or a plastic wolf mask and painting it black then add gold highlights.

I personally would want to add some humor and use this as a base:
