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.

All the base colours and shading is done. Next will be to do the fur details around the nose/chin, and the tiger stripes.

I’m a bit late to the party, but I’m painting up my #missmonster mask for the year of the tiger. There’s still a lot of highlights and details to go, but the base colours and teeth are completed.

Miwak’s headbase is largely completed. No eyelids yet as still need to hook up the leds. I am also loving how well this fits me; it doesn’t slip at all & the jaw movement is partially kinetic with the slack taken up by the springs

I am really proud of this paint job. I tried really hard to get realistic skin tones and make the teeth look real with tartar/plaque. I’m also so happy that the tongue (@tursowork) cut down nicely to fit.

All internal issues are now resolved! Notably, chin extended & rest completely replaced with one from TwinBlueChimera sans built up padding. Brow ridges were also reduced as once fur was added my vision was impeded. Problems with crest mechanism resolved allowing for smooth, even movement.

Jackalope update! Major hardware is now all installed. Chin has been extended to compensate for glasses pushing the mask out from the face. Gums, lips, and antler bases are apoxie sculpted. Eyes drilled out. Antlers are removable for storage. Jawset by DrakonicKnight. Base by StuffedPanda. Antlers by DVC. Flexible hinges, forehead rest, head harness by…
