I'm planning out a future cosplay and I'm totally stuck on working out the mechanics of a moving jaw.
The head I'm making is going to have vision out of the mouth (eye vision isn't possible), which means the lower jaw of the character isn't going to line up with mine at all. The character also doesn't have a wide jaw hinge (the edges of the mouth don't extend back very far).
This isn't going to be built like a standard fursuit, but rather hollow foam with a EVA foam helmet inside. I was thinking of using 1/2" foam reinforced with 1" foam in places for stability so that there's not a lot of stress on the moving jaw, if it's even possible.
Any advice or ideas are highly appreciated! I've been thinking about this for days and can't come up with anything that will work.
