While searching for pictures of skulls I got this mechanical idea, of making a moving jaw fixed to the main frame of the mask. So that when I spoke the mouth would also move, giving it a more "alive" look.
So at this point I had the basics of the idea ready. Now the next step would be to find a material that I could use to make this.
After searching a while I came across this material I once heard about, but didn't knew what it actually was or where to get it.

This material is called Polycaprolactone (PCL) also known as Polymorph Plastic. It is a non-toxic, biodegradable polyester with a low melting temperature of about 60°C (140°F). Which meant that I could heat it with boiling water and mold it into the shapes I wanted to. So I bought it and was ready to start.
