Omg Ur mask is so PRETTY and I'm also trying to give my new mask follow me eyes, a question though is that the mask base, is it one u bought bc I might know where u got it from? You don't have to answer this if it makes u uncomfortable btw(originality and sh like that)
WHAT DID I USE TO CREATE MY MASK??
Hi!!! Tysm ♡♡♡ as an artist, i'm never gatekeeping anything, i know the struggle of trying to create a canine mask/longer muzzle.
About the mask: I'm from Brazil and i got this mask on a local halloween store, i searched for it online since many people asked where it was from and apparently it's from a local small business, i found it on a very trustworthy online shop and i /think/ it can be sent abroad.
It's made from thin white plastic, not sure how it would survive a long flight tho :O now, believe it or not, the base used to look like this.
🦊 LINK 🦊
Now, onwards, do you know the popular cat masks made out of plastic?
The truth is, if you can find /any/ werewolf/dog/wolf/creature mask with this type of plastic base you can felt it and add fur or maybe cut it all up and customise! (Like i did!)
Fr look at how i got this mask and how it looks now!!
You gotta dig these halloween stores and ignore the wonky painting and focus on the shape!!! Creativity is your friend and it can be sooo much easier than trying to build a muzzle on 👀👀👀
Good luck and have fun!!!

Made my first wolf mask! I think it turned out perfect, might add some more details or add-ons later but so far I’m happy with it!

Mask tutorial part 2
Equipment: glue gun, scissors, mask base, fur or another material you want to use.
Step 1: cut a piece of your fabric slightly bigger than the muzzle and cut a small square out of the end, like we did when making the muzzle for the mask base
Step 2: start glueing the fur to the muzzle. Start where the muzzle meets the flat bit, then work along the edges, folding the fur under the edges
(sorry for the bad pictures)
You may have extra flaps you need to cut off like the one above that I ended up with
Muzzle finished! You can see I left a gap, that's because I'm going to attach a plastic nose later and this just makes it easier to stick on.
Step 3: attach the ties / elastic. Poke it through the base, tie it, you can glue the tied end down if you want. Do this on both sides. Please don't be an idiot like me and forget until you've glued half the face fur down... 🤦
Step 4: cut the fur for the rest of the base. Cut/ trace around the base, leaving some overlap. Make sure to cut around the triangle for the nose too, or it won't fit around the muzzle properly.
Lay it on top of the mask and cut the nose bit to fit around the muzzle nicely.
Step 5: glue the fabric to the base! (Yes we will cut the eyes out but that comes later) Start at the muzzle and glue around the edges, folding the edges over to the inside of the mask.
Step 6: cut out the eyes. Make sure there is no fur going in your eyes, and if there is, trim that fur. Then if you haven't already, glue around the eyes but DO NOT FOLD THE EDGES INSIDE THE MASK. It puts fur in your eyes. Not comfy.
I'll do another post with the finished thing, but I can't add any more images

Got this leather wolf mask today from @/embercraftcreations at the king richards Faire! It was so much fun. I got a new tail, a red fox pelt, this mask, and a chainmail necklace! (Plus a free tail)
