Soo..... Masks?
5 years ago
I was asked if I was interested in producing designs for those protective face masks that are all the rage today ( ... cough.), so I'm trying to gauge the level of potential interest. Would anyone out there be interested in masks with Sabrina Online (or other) character designs?

Feel free to add your comments here or there for what designs you'd want to see, or how they should look - or just say it's an idea in poor taste. 'sall good. ;)

To bad we can't get then with our own commissioned images on them.
But i think the price whould be the biggest problem since it needs to be shipped to me and i have no idea how much that will cost...
yes. yes it is an idea in poor taste. Im real here man, i cant WAIT till the day comes and i can drop those masks off and breath freely the air without worring about that i could get a death infection if i dont do so. So yea, Im a man who speaks open, its really a odd idea and a odd mans taste.
Personally, I imagine more people might want something like this more as a souvenir or convention prop than as their actual day-to-day protection, but I could easily be wrong.
Also think about it a bit longer: Even if you make those what stuff do you wanna print on which is WORTH wearing? You cant use any NSFW material coz 1. it would look ODD on your "Mouth" and 2. people might use it/ want to use it "in he situation right now". Next to this, it also sounds a bit like "you still need such masks, i seel some, not cheap but ehehehehe~~~", you know?
Can people kinda stop for ONES thinking with their stupid furry-shit and use their BRAIN for ones?
Really, i dont wanna be a mad guy about that but as EWS already told me and i can see it for ones as souvenir WHICH i sure understand but we are talking in times of a FUCKING DEATH EPIDEMIC where pretty much everyone is in NEED of such mask! What if there would be a war outside and the army has NO helmets as you said? But some dipshit of guy is like "oh i have some helmets here but you know....eheheheheheee~~~" Im sure it gives already SUCH people out there in the internet and even MORE in this fandom but if you really want to litereally be "THAT GUY TM", be my guest!
I fully support the idea of artists making cool masks and selling them. Many of us are struggling right now, including artists, but not everyone is and some folks have extra cash and want to support artists.
If you don't want to pay extra for these masks just buy the lame blue surgical masks at the dollar store. That's okay too.
But as for short: I never said he shouldnt do it, i said its a bad taste of idea in times like this. as for my other sample, read the comments i made between the other guy(s) and me. But hey, i at least can stay save with 5 of this, what was it?, "lame blue surgical" masks, maybe i write on my last one "i survied the virus" wile others just have ONE mask which costed them way more than my 5 but actually died coz they couldnt effort them any other...or used homemade ones which didnt do the full job *shrugs*
Not in poor taste! People need to make a living during these times this is supply and demand. You supply us with sexy skunk masks and you demand money......is that how that works? ^_-
Tasteless, isnt it?
Image follow situation:
We have a zombie apocalypse, everyone is fighting for his life out there to actually survive. You are "THAT GUY" who actually has the cure against the zombie infection but insteed of giving it out for free and might help out the situation, you DEMAND a usury prices to do so and people might have to pay you EVERY price since you are the one who has the cure.
Also you can change here the words "zombies" with "corona virus" and the word cure (and like) with "masks, disinfectant and antidote" so you might see it better~~~
So no, it has nothing to do with supply and demand, youre just using out someones situation.
If he wants to make masks he can, if he wants to sell them he can, if people want to buy them they can. His masks wouldn't be the only masks on the market. Most of my friends are making their own mask using old t-shirts or a bandana, because they already have the material and it's free. I got mine for free from my job, a reusable/washable cloth mask. I am essential so I am still working.
Masks aren't a cure, just a tool to help slow the spread... not a cure. The masks won't make the issue go away. Supply and demand... if I need it I will just use a shirt and make a makeshift mask, for free, at no cost. I'm not being forced to buy a designer mask or even a cheap mask.
Nobody is being used because nobody is being forced to buy his masks with his designs on them... anybody can make a mask for free by using an old t-shirt. The CDC shows you how to do this on their website.
Well "not right now" and i sure dont think it will be the case but still, it is a odd idea to come up with in TIMES like this. But now you have to explain ME what a t shirt and stuff like has to do with a death infection~ MY sample, at least, was right on the point...
And yes, masks are sure not a "cure" but they help out so they are kinda like a medium to "prevent" (in one case or the other) to get infected - kinda if i would go back with my zombie sample wearing a "bite resistant suit". and again my sample said pretty much all and if this corona shit will stay for a longer wile, which IF we whould think about sure WILL be the case..., "masks" will sure be a part of our life soon and be necessary and SURE NOT a luxury. necessarys should NEVER be luxury.
As i said in another comment already "Noone needs to have a golden ass designer mask. We all need them. poor people AND rich people. We all HAVE to effort them right now. "
I know i sound extream but what do you think is more common? If i go to a store and buy myself the masks which i need to survive (or i at least need as tool nowadays...) OR a 100% golden latex mask becorse maybe right now the normal ones are sold out so i kinda have to buy them~?
Also im slowly need to say sorry to EWS and all this comments down here. It seems like people dont even try to get what i try to tell. I mean even EWS seems like to get my point somewhere right at the beginning... So yes again in case you read it EWS, im really sorry that i have such walls of text here in your comment section.
At one point or the other you me right but right now HERE in germany we HAVE to wear masks to get somewhere anywhere inside (like stores, doctors, other open buildings, etc). So again, as i said already (like now 3 times...)
"and again my sample said pretty much all and if this corona shit will stay for a longer wile, which IF we whould think about sure WILL be the case..., "masks" will sure be a part of our life soon and be necessary and SURE NOT a luxury. necessarys should NEVER be luxury."
So yes i got your point coz you "can" make masks yourself but bought ones will be ALWAYS IN ANYCASE be the better opinion. Its like if i build myself an automatic weapon or BUY myself a automatic weapon. Sure the opinions are there but i bet i can kill zombies faster and better with a MP5 than your own home-made pipegun.
Next to this, what do you think will such "designer artist mask" cost? If the prices of them would be NEARLY equal of the ones which are necessarys, i might take all back i said but THAN AGAIN, we are talking about "artistical artwork" - AND furries - which automaticly means those are kinda luxury and sure NOT in the pricearea of the necessarys...
So yea, prove me that im wrong here.
The luxury mask made of cloth is gonna provide the same amount of protection as the cheap cloth mask or the homemade cloth mask. The luxury mask costs more because of the design on the front or the branding... I've already seen people at my job wearing masks with their favorite NFL team logo on the front... I assume they spent about twenty bucks for that mask. I also see plenty of people wearing a bandana or a homemade mask, that was free.
Stop using guns and zombies... the mask isn't killing the virus it's just keeping it from being spread by an infected person. That's why they urge everybody to wear a mask... not because it keeps ya from getting it, it just keeps ya from giving it to other people. In this analogy you would be pointing the gun into your own mouth because that's where the zombie is, the zombie/virus is being contained by the gun/mask. The gun/mask isn't keeping the zombie/virus out of you, it's there to keep it in if you happen to have it, whether you know you have it or not.
Can we please stop using zombies...
"yes. yes it is an idea in poor taste. Im real here man, i cant WAIT till the day comes and i can drop those masks off and breath freely the air without worring about that i could get a death infection if i dont do so. So yea, Im a man who speaks open, its really a odd idea and a odd mans taste."
Image we all would be NUDE on this world.
Image someone would pee on you.
If youre naked and he is, you would get wet.
If you wear a pair of jeans, you might get wet but most of the pee would catch your jeans.
If the other person would wear a jeans, he would pee himself.
So yea, handle masks more like a "preventing tool". YES, ITS NOT THE CURE and i dont want nor need to repeat myself over and over and over, look down all the comments i wrote already but it is, RIGHT NOW FOR THE MOST OF US a "object of necessary". Yes, you can alternative make your own and i GOT THAT but AGAIN, bought ones will always be the BETTER OPINION and ELSE PROVE ME WRONG. I mean i can also pee on you on your latex pants if you want or on your homemade knitted pants...
From the land which has nearly 100k dead cases coz of the corona virus.
Else sorry to say but i think at this point its not worth arguing with you anymore since you dont even care to read nor understand my opinion, no offense.
You fail to understand my point... the homemade mask is just as good as the twenty dollar cloth mask. Homemade pants is better than no pants at all, for containing the pee. It'll contain pee as well as the twenty dollar pair of cloth pants.
You seem to believe people will be forced to buy the more expensive option when the alternative will do just as well at containing and protecting as a more expensive cloth mask.
Is absolutely right it’s completely optional therefore it’s not in bad taste
"Yes... I live in America... Yes... I wear a mask whether I like it or not but I'm not going to buy an expensive designer mask when my homemade mask or the mask my work provides, it's cheap and made in china, works."
err isnt the point here from EWS to create designer masks AND sell them~?
Think about your words there right now.
But no, i dont "belive" if people get forced to buy the more expensive masks if there is nothing left, i just said that a bought mask (any level) is just better than a homemade one. sure homemade ones WILL do it but the ones which are "made for" sure are the better opinion...
My homemade mask doesn't do that, but by your logic it is inferior to the store bought mask that needs to be adjusted several times throughout the day. So which is the better option for me... spend more money on another mask that might do the same thing or wrap a bandana or old shirt around my face to cover my nose and mouth?
If people want to buy a mask with his art on it, it is up to them. I would if I had a better track record with reusable, washable cloth masks. I also live with family who don't need to know about my furry stuff. Some will probably buy one with no intention of wearing it, exception being a furry con.
We're all going to have to accept that masks will be part of the new normal. They won't always be mandatory, but enough people will think "better safe than sorry", or be comfortable enough wearing them to start feeling naked without one, that we will all have to get used to seeing people wearing them.
Once upon a time, food service workers weren't even required to wear hairnets. Now, we are far more likely to notice when one is not wearing it. The same thing will happen with the face masks. And masks with corporate logos are going to be, for most, just another part of the uniform.
(and yes, their name is on them)
Ad: "So natural looking only the virus knows you're wearing it."
Next up, custom art on a mask!
AND an opinion about cloth masks to combat it.
now, I FULLY understand that the Japanese have been wearing masks like this is public for YEARS, And they have (or at least HAD) a very low infection rate
if people wanna wear masks in public, more power too them, no skin off my nose.
I'm asthmatic and have trouble breathing, the last thing I wanna do is cover my face and make it HARDER to breath!
that being said I also self-isolate nearly ever dang day and have for nearly two decades.... so NOT going out is nothing new to me.
I'm just annoyed I can't go to wally at 2am when there is NO ONE there so I can Shop Alone as well!
The cartoonish print would need to be straight-on POV, and the black on white would help to be a minimal surface area change to the surface of the mask.
I'm sure there's a few people around who would like a Sabrina's smile, or would like to taunt the world with a Zig Zag's smarmy grin.
ZZ Studio logo mask
Amiga inspired mask
Tammy or Sheila mask - In case of Sheila "Eyes are up there" would be awesome.
Main issue: I am in germany, thus international shipping.
I my mom sew like... 20 washable masks for me.
But nice idea for artwork
I doubt I would buy one, if I didn't live with family I would. The price would need to be fair and the artwork kept SFW too. If I could get a mask with my wolf showing his fangs, I probably would.
Stay safe everybody.
- single used or more durable masks?
- medical or dust filter?
- thin tissue or shaped?
Or are we talking about carnival masks as well?
