Deadmau5 Head - Toru

Okay so currently I'm working on this project with my mum where we are making a Deadmau5 head.

Because I'm not as rich as I would have hoped for, I cannot buy one myself, so I am making one.

Currently I am waiting for additional materials I have bought from various sources.

And I thought it would be fun to share the process on here, as I currently have begun with some of preparations.

List of materials.

Non chemical luminescent bio tape - 1 meter

Ball 14 inch for normal people (I'm pretty tiny and my head isn't all that big, which results in me buying a 10 inch ball instead.)

Paper mache - 7 layers

Pushlights x2 - 4.5 inch diameter

cardboard - 2x2m - Depending on your head size and or schematics may vary.

Soft fabric - colour varies depending on personal choice, (Remember ears and head will be covered by the same material)

Adhesive spray - clean finish when applying fabric to head and ears.

Buckram - see through white fabric for mouth opening (do not apply water as it may solidify and or stiffen)

Foam core - Colour varies but will not have any effect as this will just be used to withhold the buckram fabric. (I suggest core foam with a side of sticky tape - can be bought at hardware stores and online stores cheap)

 

I use official schematics -

Here's my current prep.

What you can see here will be the eyes, they are pushlights with a diameter of 4.5'' inches - 11.43 cm

This results in them being capable of lighting up like the eyes should. (Last image displays the lighting in darkness.)

 

Lastly I use luminescent tape around the ears to create a cyan glow, now I sadly can't show you when they light up right now, as they have an uptime consisting of 72 hours, this means as soon as I peel off the back they will glow bright cyan for the next 72 hours, and I can only apply this for the 3 days I will be using the head.

Image displayed below is 1 meter in length and 2.4cm in width - 3ft 3/8 inches in length - 0.94 inches in width.

But Prime, Raise Your Weapons is based around a house initially + You can't say that an artist makes dubstep based on a single or two tracks.

Deadmau5 primarily creates house and electronic music.

progressive house* and i never said hes a dubstep artist, just that hes made it. he said he wanted to try and see how easy dubstep was to make
