Lord, it's finally complete! This is my first mascot/fursuit project and I'm pretty pleased! Technically the mask isn't 100% done; the project is a collaboration between my best friend and I, and she will be finishing up the head along with the body she's made. I also made some feet (included below; obviously she'll be finishing those up too :P).
The mask is meant to be the pokemon Typhlosion. Together we took some artistic liberty with the head shape, although I think the jaw came out a little thick. There is venelation through the nostrils so a fan can be installed later, and vision is through the throat. I haven't worn any other mask like this so I can't compare the vision, but honestly I think it's pretty good. We intend to add electronics at a later date, so the eyes are placeholders. They are attached with rare earth magnets and will be interchangable with a few other pairs.
Please don't hold back on the critique as I am very interested in improving. I am aware of there are some symmetry issues, but to me they look mild (of course, I've been staring at this thing for a few months so I'm desensitized to the problems xD). How does he look? *crosses fingers*
