This is my example I made for my sweet Kitty (
thebigkitty). I will be making and selling masks like these at Wild Nights for $20 (I have other versions ranging from $15-30 depending on complexity). If you would like to buy one there, feel free to tell me before I get there, and I should have it mostly ready by the starting Thursday. These require fitting to your face, so you need to be present to get a finished product. If you won't be at Wild Nights and you would like one of these shipped to you, let me know. You'll have to cut out the nose and eye holes to fit your own face after you receive it though. Please also note that there are no ears because Kitty already has ears. I can add ears easily.
I don't have an example of the expensive ($30) model yet, but it will include a moving jaw. Yes, it is foam that will be tied to your head, but it is also a part of a "fursuit" (just not furry), If you can't afford a fursuit head, you can probably afford one of these! I wore my own to Oklacon last year, and with only a tail, mask, and arms, I was allowed to join in the fursuit parade. ^.=.^ Join in the fun - cheaply!

Bad idea, hun. Clay is fragile and resin is not outside-capable. I have friends who work with resin. It's great for small details, but in the sun it fades out and starts breaking as it dries out. Not good for masks. And they're both a lot heavier. I'd like to work with leather, honestly, but I don't have the skills for that yet, and it's much harder to work with. It's also much more expensive, and the main draw to these little foam masks is that they are cheap. =/
Resin is great for making toys or casting duplicates of miniatures, but you can't leave it outside long, and it cracks and breaks easily. =/ My friend who uses it complains often of dropping his miniatures a few feet and seeing them fall apart. Then again, he casts them, so he just shrugs and makes a new one. Now what sucks is when you spend days painting something that small into perfect detail and then break it. I'd hate that. I'm currently working on getting better with leather, but making a mask like that in leather would be a pain in the ass even for a trained professional. The best you can usually do is the main eye cover with details. I could do that piece painted and with hair and whatnot designed into the leather, but putting on a muzzle is difficult. At least foam is easy to shape to someone's nose. Leather is hard to cut, and it would have to be hardened to fit right. Cutting hardened leather practically takes a chainsaw and does not allow for proper small details such as fitting right over a nose. X.=.x
