I'm a toony-style maker who works with foam to build. I'm mostly looking for ways and advice to improve my masks/heads! But please feel free to give advice on other aspects of my suits, if you see anything that could be improved.
When I say "be gentle", I just mean "Feel free to be critical, but please don't be blatantly rude."
Inside, I am admittedly a sensitive babby when it comes to people critiquing my work, but I really do know that people are just trying to be helpful, and I really am looking to improve. So I'm putting my dumb feelings and pride aside and asking for a bit of critique & constructive criticism.
That's why I'm asking people to relatively gentle! But please still give tips on what may need to be fixed and improved.
I'm mostly looking for tips and advice from other makers, but if you have never made a suit yet have some practical advice, please feel free to post it!
Saying things like "______ looks weird" isn't really helpful. I'd really like some good advice on how to change what look weird instead of the general statement.
Things you should know/that I already know:
- Not having a set "style" for my suits may be a big part of my downfall. If you'd like to reference another maker's style as a sample of how to improve, please do! But I would not like comments like "make your suits like _____ does!"
- It's been said before that the shapes of my heads are "bad", "weird", and "odd". Looking at it, that's probably correct.
If you see a sample of a shape that needs improvement, saying "change ____ shape" is good, I suppose, but what's better is saying "shave down a little bit off the front and top of the ____ shape" in MUCH more helpful and the type of advice I'm looking for!
OKAY.
Here it goes.
Here's a collection of my more recent suits:
