Don't know if you were intending to make the owl mask portion yourself, but if not MissMonster has a fabulous one she sells: http://missmonster.bigcartel.com/pr.....e-eyes-painted

Looks like a great idea for a costume, hope to see images of it when done.

I prefer to make it myself as that's half the fun, though I do admire MissMonster's work a lot and did consider it.

Doing something that tall from a headband alone will be kinda difficult given the combined weight of the fabric and mask. It's not gonna be TOO heavy, but it's gonna be hard for a headband to support it. You might want to consider picking up a cheap bike helmet that you can strap to your head, and do your mounting on that. Once you have the solid base, you can build it up with wire, or just bolt something together. Hell, you might even be able to find one of those old spring-arm bendy-lamps at your local thrift store, and mount that to the helmet, and mount your mask and cloth to that.

That's a really cool idea, though. Makes me think of the tall cow-skull things in Time Bandits, which were very creepy.

This is awesome, slightly reminds me of the "no-face" character from Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away except with a better looking face! =D and is this a sprit?

I was about to comment with the same thing :)

Yep, he's partly inspired by that

Good news. I honestly think yours is better. XD

No, he's just different. No Face was a character drawn from Noh Theater (if someone rebukes that, I'd love to read more about his origins). This one is just picking up on that spookiness and then adding something I find also spooky; owls. Its mythological significance isn't as impressive.

Ahh I understand now. =3 thanks.

Oh my god, can't wait to see it lol :D
awesome concept

Freaking awesome. I've been wanting to do a Plague Doctor costume for Halloween for ages, this kind of reminds me of it what with the cool mask and a long black cloak/attire thing. I hope you do this, it looks so fun!
