Description Werewolf costume I made... This is a closeup of his head.
He's basically just a head and arms...

Jaws move by a hinge that rests on your lower jaw, so when you talk, his jaw moves to your words.

And you actually do see out of the pupils in his eyes.

Moonbeam is for sale ... serious offers accepted.

Out of curiosity how did you fix yer jaw to the hinges in the scull of the mask ?

Zhon In reply to Mahadma [2009-01-03 13:42:48 +0000 UTC]

The hinges are farther back than where the human jaw hinge sets. Just a couple of bolts and wingnuts, and washers to aid in the free movement.

HH no Id like to ask how did you fix front of your jaw to it so it would move, since I plan to make one that would even grin

Zhon In reply to Mahadma [2009-01-04 00:50:58 +0000 UTC]

Well, I didn't have grinning powers. But the jaw was held shut by springs, then when I moved my jaw down, the masks did as well.

Zhon In reply to Zerna [2008-08-05 12:02:07 +0000 UTC]

Yep!
I have this thing where any mask done by me needs to have a moveable jaw.
My newest Ramulus costume is made with it as well... scares people when it opens and closes because it just adds to the striking realism of an animal!

Lol!
I'd go for real animals if nothing was wrong with them anatomically or I get bashed for making something wrongly. So I'll stick with the mythical creatures.
I WAS working on a dragon.... mabe I'll pick it up again...

What my dad said when he was in Wisconsin it sounds fun but tough. I cant wait till we get all of our stuff step up and actually start. We're thinking bout puttin up a shed so we could skin the animal if the person who killed it can't..

Is he still up for sale? I think the costume is gorgeous, but I'd like to know how much this costs...

Zhon In reply to ravenclawxwhitewolf [2007-10-01 21:50:45 +0000 UTC]

Yep, he's still available, I had a few takers on it but you know how life hits you with unnecessary bills and stuff. So Nobody has claimed him yet. I think the price in my journal yays $650, but I'll take a reasonable offer.
His mouth moves with your mouth, you see out of his pupils, and it's easy to breathe in.

ravenclawxwhitewolf In reply to Zhon [2007-10-01 21:59:48 +0000 UTC]

Ah, thanks for telling me just how much $$$ he is.
How long will you keep him up for adoption?
Until someone purchases Moonbeam?
Unfortunately, as a highschool student with little money (or job x_x), I'm afraid I won't be able to afford 'em.
But anyway...Have you considered costuming for comissions, or perhaps as a career?
You're very, very good at it!

Zhon In reply to ravenclawxwhitewolf [2007-10-01 22:06:05 +0000 UTC]

Yep, He'll be posted as long as it takes to find him a new home!

I've considered it.... and taxidermy is my profession and it's really super close to fursuit/costume making... but I'm afraid I'd have to stick with real fur (leather can stretch) as opposed to fake fur (cloth doesn't stretch at all).

ravenclawxwhitewolf In reply to Zhon [2007-10-02 00:06:19 +0000 UTC]

Well, best of luck finding him a new home!
I think taxidermy is really cool. I'd rather be working with real fur rather than the synthetic kind.
Cloth really doesn't stretch as much as I thought;
(made a werewolf costume in '04, and ended up looking like a furry caveman. Not good).

I look foward to seeing more of your fabulous creations!

Zhon In reply to bear48 [2007-08-12 22:58:15 +0000 UTC]

Teeth were cast and taken from a taxidermy jawset. The fangs were enlarged into sabers. It's cast from a 2-part resin compound.
