This was a special mask commission for a 12-year-old girl in Australia, commissioned by her mother for her birthday :)
The girl liked one of the previous suits I had made of a lynx character and wanted something similar, so I did a few changes (added spots, changed eye color and ear pattern, and changed facial pattern slightly) to make this mask.

Features 3d "follow-me" eyes and cast resin nose and teeth.

Hi Tawni, you are right, I probably should have thought to contact you first and done more to make the mask unique. At the time I felt, because the changes were all up to me (it was a creative license commission) that I had done enough to make the character masks different, by changing the pattern shape, freckles, and adding spots and changing the ear and eye colors, as the character is otherwise a cartoon lynx. I think at the time I assumed that natural lynx colors (brown and white) were a safe bet. I apologize about this. Sometimes when I am asked to do commissions based off previous masks for customers not involved in the fandom (in this case, a 12 year old girl) I assume (perhaps wrongly) that changing the design on my own is acceptable. It is a bit of a gray area, and when consulting with other makers and artists it is hard to get a concrete answer on what to do. I assume responsibility for the similarities between the two masks, and will learn from this experience for the future so I won't repeat this mistake.
