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…

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…

Glued up the kemono style headbase for my pokesona fusion. Gonna have to do a lot more base work, including building & attaching a helmet head back.

‘Spirit of the North’ cosplay mask progress & movement test. I chose to invert the screw setup on the forehead rest/head harness to allow the hardware to be swapped out if they ever break. This is going to be put aside now until I clear some things in my queue.
-
I used a modified cosplay ‘space’ style helmet instead and glued that into the head form. I then added foam clay to fill in seams and make a solid beak (it’ll be covered in worbla later) and a nose hump. Might still do some minor adjustments then sand it all smooth.

This fox jaw gave me angst! Due to space/shaping constraints the jaws had to be set back a little further than I would’ve liked which posed issues for sculpting. The lower jaw was resculpted 3 times until it looked believable. The upper jaw needed extra gums to aid illusion of correct teeth placement due to…

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…
-
I spent a couple of delightful hours dremeling. Miwak’s eye ports needed smoothing, a half snarl mask needed prepping, and I started prep work for the next cosplay (spirit of the north fox).

I am slogging away at the mane piece, which is basically a hand latched kanekalon wig. This is the left side that I finished off, with some pattern adjustments so it’ll blend into the mask fur better. Still have to make the other side and get them backed before installation. It’s massively poofy right now…
