from getting it glued on, trimming, shaving and painting it! :D
ALL done with a stiff brush (of a few sizes) NO airbrush was used or is used in any of my works.
SO... I'll explain each panel...
1) glued on fur, white on muzzle and under eye is scissor trimmed at this point.
2) some shaving and also scissor trimming
3)more scissor trimming to get good shortness and smoothed out with an electric shaver!
4) brown base details/ shading laid on
5) white smoothing out on the muzzle and a bit around eyes
6) muzzle spots and some more tiny details.
7) black added in many areas hiding edges! and making him really POP
8) some subtle brown/grey added to areas and in creases to add more relief and detail :3
Final large... ) Whiskers added!!!! :D (horse hair from a brush)

:D me too. he's got kind eyes ;_; He would be AWESOME in like, a wizard of OZ group!!! as the cowardly lion :)
I'm going to make the arms AWESOME where the long mane goes down the top and back of the arm making the whole shoulder/ chest area of the wearer super fuzzy and handsome!!!

I was so going to do a tiger with this one Xb but I wanted to try out the idea I had with the furs I have for a mane. :3
and I needed something to sell to raise money for my move. My mom loves tigers and the first tiger I make will be for her :>
I could even see this as a black panther... possibly with larger eyes ;)
but I can't wait to do all of those fun stripes with my paint pen! :>

yep! :) sort of watered down... but mostly I put the paint on the brush and then wipe most of the paint off on a piece of paper or rag, because it's better to put on small amounts of paint on than paint that's too dark or strong! you can put more on but you can't always take it off P>P
I did yes thanks :D I made the mistake though of putting them in front of my fan...now my room smells funny haha.
and thanks. Im redoing the ears and MIGHT change the colors of the eyes. I did not get TO much positive feed back on my walk this weekend, mostly people saying I was scary haha. Guess they don't like my soul gazing eyes >:D lol

Amazing. Your stuff just keeps getting better, and i think you've really "leveled up" with this one.
What I also like about the sequence pic is that this reads sort of like a fursuit-building history. The first unshaved and unpainted face resembles what one might see from many folks' first try at fursuit making. The next couple look like a "skill level 2" fursuit build, and so forth as the mask gets progressively more refined.

I've been using acrylic paint since I was very little XD have you ever gotten it on your shirt?
IT STAYS THERE. LOL. so painting it on any fabric/porous material it's permanent. It has to be brushed out though. and the acrylic has to be thinned out with water or with a dry brush! always brush it out with a comb or a pet hair brush! so the fur doesn't clump up :)

OMG! This is the most beautiful thing I've seen you make yet! Holy cow, you have progressed in leaps and bounds my friend. When I saw your name as the one whom posted this I did a double take. Man, I can't even begin to describe how much I love this head thus far! Your work has always been a style that had me visiting your page every so often, but if you produce work like this from here on out I will feel compelled to visit your page as much as possible. To bad I've been banned from ordering more fursuit partials this year (I spent to much on them lately so I've been told).
this is incredibly useful! I'm just getting started making my own costumes and I've been afraid to even touch an airbrush or put any kind of paint on my masks, but after this, I'll have to try it. The detail it adds is fantastic.
out of curiosity, what kind of paint/dye did you use, if you don't mind me asking?

This is gorgeous and just in one day! I guess it goes to show what you can achieve when you're properly inspired, but still - seriously impressive :)
I'm curious tho - does this mask have 'eye-holes' at all? I can't spot them so you've either hidden them really well or...
