Description I made another mask!
This was actually finished a month or two ago, but I just got around to taking pictures of it now.
Since this is complete now, I'm going to try to sell my red dragon mask in the art auction at Midwest Furfest, this weekend.

I picked up some alligator print embossed leather a while back, when I saw it on sale, and I'm rather pleased with the texture that it gives this head. It uses the same curled style of horns as others I've made, but I think the proportions and structure are better than before, there is more airflow between the scales, and the feathered mane is breathable. I've also been experimenting with using a headband internally, to make the fitting more adjustable. All this makes this one rather comfortable to wear. Blue is a nice color, too.
Next time I decide to put together something like this I'll have to try a different style of horns. And, maybe try something interesting, like blinking eyes, or a glowing mane. The challenge is part of the fun.

I've also been working on another exciting digital art project, too. So, Yes. I am still alive, and making art.
Crafty distractions like this are nice every now and then, though.

This is by far one of the best things I've ever seen at the Renaissance Festival. It was nice talking with you this morning and I can't wait to see what more you do for the costume.

This mask is completely freaking awesome. Its wonderful seeing work from you again. Though I wasn't expecting a craft, this won't be denied as its great work.

Thank you!

I've actually just upgraded it with some digital eyes, so now I'll have to take a video or something...
Overall, I'm rather proud of this one. It has good range of vision, too.

Very nice.  Maybe I'll experiment with embossed materials next time around, I'm just going to wrangle fleece for my first effort.

Fleece could be interesting to work with, too... I haven't tried that yet.

Leather has been fun to work with. This embossed leather was a bit more of a challenge than the regular vegetable tanned kind, but I think the results were rather good.
Maintaining the flow and symmetry of the scale pattern was difficult, in some places.

It might be easier, possibly.  Depends on what sort of look you're going for.  There are ways to detail it so it looks good as reptile hide or skin...

I've considered embossed vinyl for a few things, but I'll probably just be using it for soft horns and claws for the time being.  (I'd rather not put out an eye with a clumsy arm movement or playful headbutt.)

Aw, that's so awesome! I love the detail in that! How do you get the jaw to open without anything moving or coming off?

Chromamancer In reply to xEpicDorito678 [2015-12-02 13:31:30 +0000 UTC]

Thank you.

It's built for my head, and the lower jaw has a chin cup, basically. So, the lower jaw moves with mine.
No elastic is necessary, and I can even eat with it on, if I have a fork or long straw.
