I'm brand new here but my current project is to create a perfectly authentic looking human skull wearing a 1940s dive mask, encrusted with barnacles, etc. The idea is the skull was found underwater (or on the rocks) after being in the sea for 60 years.
I am currently shucking about a hundred barnacles that I harvested from an ocean jetty. My plan is to use these plus other marine crustaceans on a replica skull I have acquired. First I will be doing paint effect to the entire skull before attaching the mask and barnacles. My question for you is what would the eyes/nose area (covered by the mask) look like as opposed to the rest of the skull which was exposed to the open ocean? I have some pretty good reference photos for the surface of he skull but can't decide what to do under the mask. Ideas?
Attached is a photo of an actual barnacle encrusted skull.
Thanks, Vance
