This is so realistic looking!

Also, a Lucario one would be BADASS

This is absolutely BEAUTIFUL, I've never seen Blaziken imagined this way and I love it!

Where is the vision out of? The nostrils?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nathow111 In reply to ZulayaWolf [2013-02-10 08:17:00 +0000 UTC]

Nope, the vision is straight out of the eyes. They're made of mesh.

And thank you!

Was not familiar with this pokemon but BEAUTIFUL. I love the use of planes on this, and the way you did the feathers...totally awesome.

Why, thank you! I'll be making a couple pairs of wings using this feather style soon-ish. (Only this time I'll remember to stiffen the felt so I don't have to use wire to keep it up. XD)

Why, thank you! A few years down the road when this one is a distant memory to me I'll most likely make a better version.

Would you ever do commissions?

nathow111 In reply to xChemi [2012-12-19 05:33:27 +0000 UTC]

Yes! I'll likely be opening for commissions early next month. As soon as I'm done with my two current projects (a dragon partial and a tiger partial )

Oh my goodness, I'd love to find out how much they go for because hnnng this mask is gorgeous.

Kadinskies In reply to xChemi [2012-12-19 05:46:18 +0000 UTC]

That was my response. We're basically working it out as we go along, since it'd be her first commission and Spix (My sona) is a butt.

wordweaver1001 [2012-12-18 03:06:33 +0000 UTC]

would you be willing to do other pokemon masks like this one? I was thinking it would be great to have a Nidoqueen, Ninetailes, or Mew or Mewtwo costume.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nathow111 In reply to wordweaver1001 [2012-12-19 05:41:15 +0000 UTC]

I definitely could. I'll likely be opening for commissions around the 1st, as soon as my dragon and tiger masks are finished.

wordweaver1001 In reply to nathow111 [2012-12-19 15:51:21 +0000 UTC]

All right, but I may not have the money right now so I may have to commission you later next year. It depends on Christmas things right now but I will let you know!

How much would it be to commission something like this It's SO amazing!

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nathow111 In reply to raikovladi92 [2012-12-19 05:44:32 +0000 UTC]

It all depends on how expensive the base materials are and how detailed it is.
Something like this would probably be around $200.

raikovladi92 In reply to nathow111 [2012-12-26 07:16:29 +0000 UTC]

That is incredibly reasonable.

I'm just... WOW. I'm in awe of this.

Question, would you be willing to do another Pokemon? I know you say you're opening for commissions possibly next month, but would you be willing to discuss via a note about details?

This is the best Blaziken costume I've ever seen, and one of the best fursuits as well! Congratulations

You really think so? It's my first serious project. I'll have to use this skill as an opportunity to get big.
I have a tiger mask and a dragon mask in the making. I can't wait to get those done.

Siplick In reply to nathow111 [2012-12-17 20:22:27 +0000 UTC]

Indeed I saw the pictures *Sharpe19 uploaded and I loved them. Blaziken has always been one of my faves and your work brought it to life perfectly, I love how you included the feathers behind its head!
Good luck with your projects, I can't wait to see them either!

I have to ask how do you see out of this? The tear ducks look too small.

nathow111 In reply to sryates [2012-12-17 20:07:21 +0000 UTC]

The vision is straight out the eyes, which are made of mesh, that was painted.

sryates In reply to nathow111 [2012-12-18 02:01:09 +0000 UTC]

I thought that might be it as I did see the mesh but doesn't it distort your vision?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nathow111 In reply to sryates [2012-12-19 04:50:03 +0000 UTC]

It does. It makes everything a bit darker and makes seeing fine detail near impossible. You have to get a little closer than normal to read ordinary text. I'll be trying out a better kind of mesh next time.

sryates In reply to nathow111 [2012-12-19 16:56:47 +0000 UTC]

Is it a solid cast half disk or a hallow one like a contact (mind you less thickness to the disk the better you'll see out of it)?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

nathow111 In reply to sryates [2012-12-21 21:36:36 +0000 UTC]

The eyes? They're a plastic christmas ornament cut in half. Very thin plastic.
