Once again, progress has been made with '21st Century Baphomet'. I have begun to reconsider the design of the mask, while still incorporating the gas mask. The idea of attempting to add a skull-shape onto the mask itself seems redundant since the mask is already skull-like in some shape or form.
I have also made horns from electric cable and copper wire. The wire is to remain exposed, so the presense of unnatural elements remains evident as part of Baphomet's new anatomy.
I've also completed the 'feet' of Baphomet. Initially, I wasn't too sure how to hooves (made from tin plating) could have been secured onto the boots I had chosen. Fortuntaely, I was able to exploit the thickness of the soles and hammer nails through them to secure the tin. Light hammering on the hooves themselves worked to give texture.
For any possible future projects similar to this, I would to look into how I could possibly make more elevated feet, as shown in the drawing/s above.
However, there have been a few hurdles coming up with the construction of Baphomet. Firstly, how I can fit the horns onto the gas mask. Their weight may become a problem. I had been given a suggestion to make use of inner tube from truck tyres.
The secone, more overwhelming issue is the construction of the wings. My initial material of choice for the frame turned out not practical enough. The original wire shape had been welded as such and is too light to support any of the fur intended for the wings that the whole thing would just collapse on itself.
At this point, I think it would be best to consider a means of constructing a harness for the wings before actual development of the wings themselves.
