Painting process on my Destiny Celestial Nighthawk Helmet (Mask)- The raw masks get cleaned up using a Dremel and a sanding sponge. Once clean it is sprayed with a very thin layer of Krylon Black primer and left to dry for several hours. Next a thin layer of Camo Beige is applied and once again left to dry for several hours. Unbleached Titanium is hand brushed onto the upper winged areas of the mask and a dark Umber Brown wash is mop brushed onto the beak. Iridescent Bronze is dry brushed over the beak and top of the helmet leaving the dark wash in the detailed crevasses. Parchment is dry brushed over the Unbleached Titanium on the edges for a highlight effect. Bright gold is dry brushed over the Iridescent Bronze again on the highlight areas. The final details are brushed in using Cadmium Red for the stripes and the same Unbleached Titanium and Parchment for the shapes above the brow. Mars black is used in the recesses and the details on the respirators. Bright silver is dry brushed over the mouthpiece and ear covers.

Here is my completed Destiny Celestial Nighthawk exotic cosplay mask. This mask is resin cast and hand painted using Liquitex acrylics. Scrim was added to the eyes and padding was attaching to the interior for comfort.
You can see the progress on my Facebook page www.facebook.com/StevenKSmithP…

These are available for purchase in my etsy shop www.etsy.com/listing/237077575…
