Moffy is super difficult to photograph! The mask (so far) features an iridescent paint job, moveable ear tufts, moving jaw, and orange glow eyes. This mask isn’t finished yet. I am planning to add a fur hood with included rooster feathers, but that’s going to have to wait until I have more money for materials.

Ears! I tried to use the ball joints from a phone stand to get poseability but they poked up behind the sculpts raised bits too much, so back to plain galvanised wire. I’m so happy how the paint work came out on them too.

My partners workplace has a maker space, so I got him to help me laser cut ear & eye pieces for the moffman mask. I cut so many eye pieces because I’m still undecided which combo to go for, but I definitely now know I’m using the orange EL wire.

Moffman is painted! I did a very dark base coat, then dry brushed 3 slightly different metallic colour blends (charcoal, dark teal, deep violet) selectively over the entire mask. Finished off with bright copper eye ports which should make the glow eyes I have planned sing. I’m also planning to install some ball joints under…

I spent several days prepping these 2 masks by MissMonster. The moffman I plan to paint with shimmer blacks/blues, install glowing amber eyes, and make a hood with embedded rooster feathers. The half snarl I will be painting for my partner (once he decides on a theme).

Glued up the cosplay helmet pattern (by Mellowmind on Etsy) that I use instead of a bucket head base. For some reason all the seams didn’t want to stick cleanly so there’s heap of filling I’ll need to do using foam clay. It’s also gonna need extensive modification so the kemono mask can be attached…

Significant progress on the parasaur head. This is the most confusing pattern I’ve ever done, mainly due to the complex colour transitions.

I’m a bit late to the party, but … Year of the Tiger! 🐅🐯 Finished #missmonster snarl mask completely handpainted by me. It’s fully lined inside using 1mm foamies with an adjustable elastic strap. Model is my hugsband.

Gluing down Miwak’s face. It’s easy if you glue in stages and make sure the whole face is centred first, and if hot glue drips on the fur accidentally just wait until it cures then it cleanly picks straight off without damaging the fur. The lower jaw gets glued once I’ve sewed the face and…

Decided to try out mask building using EVA. This is KazPlay’s para mask pattern and it was really fun to do. I’m planning to do some experimentation on this sculpting the keratin beak etc in foam clay and fixing the jaw in a stationery open-mouthed position. If it looks ok, I might turn it into…
