Since there were a lot of requests for it. Im holding the strap a bit tighter (personal preference) for these photos so thats why my arm is all weird.
Ummmm... still need to paint that nose then its off to the buyer on monday : )
-Use your own eyes (there seems to be some confusion over this term lately, its not that this mask is designed for someone else to put eyes in it, its designed to be worn just like the photos show it, where your eyes, are the mask's eyes.)
-Moving jaw
-News opening is in January
-Whole-heads available (neck and such)
Fluffy parts are pieced in, that is, not one solid piece of fabric but cut pits carefully placed and glued and blended. New technique, pretty happy with it, and makes the masks even THINNER. Pair with eye-makeup and maybe some contacts and off you go. Can drink thru mask (with a straw) and -probably- eat simple dry stuff too (bread, crackers, nothing wet or greasy)

ah great - i ever wanted to see a big feline mask from you. great Piece of work u have created there! would be interesting to see it with fitting facepaint to get a better idea of a comparsion to regular masks.
and at last a question: will u seem the neck to the bodypart of the suit or attach it to the mask in a classic way? for my part i believe that most suits have great details and such but often "no neck" its just to wide and not good to see. how can/will u solve such Problem?

:) i know i know sometimes its hard to understand what i mean (english is not my native language)
what i wanted to say is: can you do something that the neck of a mask/suit is very tight Fitting, so it will not look like that the mask is directly sitting on the shoulders without having a visible connection through a neck. And why does nobody thinks about a turtle neck at the bodysuit. why all Producers attach a neck at the mask part?

probably convenience, since it would be some extra designing to make the turtleneck part of the bodysuit. also, sometimes the mask's lower rim might cut into the throat flesh, and if the neck is part of the mask you have a soft transition.
and lastly, with the neck attached to the headpiece you could wear the head as a partial costume without having to create a separate neck.
though I have seen a small number of turtleneck bodysuits. they are rare, though.

ah i see now its a bit clearer to me why it is like that. but still i would like to see that a mask/suit would have a more slender neck or may be it has to do with the size/form of a mask that it looks most time like the person has no neck?
btw magpie its not critic directly to ur fantastic looking masks - they are already damn near to the wearers skin and looking slender as i can tell (a photo where i could see more of ur shoulders Body to determine the proportions better would be nice) its just a discussion whats possible and what u can do as a producer to make an even more believable character/suit :)

that is an anatomical problem with realistic masks. thing is, animal heads have flatter skulls than humans, and more elongated. humans have a high forehead. so, either you give the animal head a high forehead, or make sure the muzzle points downward in an angle like the real animal would hold their head. and this way the neck is mostly invisible from the front.
many animals also have cheekbeards and long fur around the neck almost like a mane. with the four-legged anumal you don't notice this, because the body shape is vastly different from a human's, but with a mask/fursuit the comparatively short human neck is completely hidden in fluff and fabric.
take the above tiger for an example. taller than a grown man when standing perched against a tree, and twice as heavy from muscles and bones, yet they could hide behind a tree with their full body because it's narrower than the head. also, the neck is relatively long, and connects with the cranium at the back of the head, making the neck look even longer. you just can't do this with a human inside a costume, or else you'd end up with an abomination like "Goleo" (google after costume shots versus cartoon and plushie images. the soccer bosses wanted a mascot that was 2.3m tall, for whatever reason, but the tallest actor they could find was a full head shorter. actually the actor inside the bear suit from german Sesame Street...) "Goloeo" had an absurdly long neck, with the actor looking through a hole underneath the chin, and the face actuated by animatronics. the neck was as long as a real lion's, but it did not fit the proportions of an upright-walking critter.

Ohh, ok I see. It can be done! but the trouble is that fabric has a tendency to slouch even if well-tailored so trying to get a tall-neck to stand up without something to hold it up (like being attatched to a head) can be problematic because you have to either back it in something stuff, wich makes it often incomfortable and often thicker. However I do know how to tailor very thin human-esque necks onto the heads, its not terribly difficult in and of itself but perfect-fit is tough to get without a life model. DTDs of the bust help (head and full shoulders) and life-cast maquettes are even better -however- they are often cast of plaster and very impractical to ship back and forth.
