CFX Masks showcases movement footage of 'The Dead,' a premium silicone skull mask inspired by 1930s rubber hose cartoon aesthetics. It is part of a three-piece series called the Rubber Hose Ruffians, depicting a playful skeletal character with a bulbous skull, oversized eye sockets, and a wide toothy grin. The Sugar Skull variant featured here is also UV-reactive, glowing under black light. The mask was sculpted with the aid of a 6-axis robot and finished by hand by the design team at Composite Effects.
