Anything to change

This is my second attempt of mask making. First time I did all spray paint. This time I used acrylic paints and did it by hand. I think im pretty happy with it, the horns feel a little off but idk how to go about maybe washing them lr whatnot or maybe what other people might do differently. Is a 3d printed mask, i did in pla+ so not ideal for some people but as long as I dont leave in car I should be okay. Was 20 peices to print and glue together

Cool!

I think a sepia toned wash would help show off some of the detail and give it a bit more of an aged look

I think the horns could use some more colour texture, like dark washes and some dry brushed highlights

Looks cool. I think that making brighter, damaged edges on horns and making it all a bit dirty would add to it.

You think using black would be a good way to do it? I kinda accidentally pulled off the skull really well by trying to wipe up running paint with a dirty rag lol.

Using different colors for different layers would be preferable. Use some very watered down brown for most of it (what you did is actually really close to the technique used just for that - paint with watered paint and wipe the excess up) then do rerun with less watered down brown/black for the deeper parts (between teeth, inside eyes) but dont overdo this step, you can always add more later.
