Moving Jaw - Tumblr Posts
This is what I made for myself this Halloween. A dragon lower-half-mask. With a moving jaw. What do I call this sort of thing? Jaw mask? Snout? I'm not really sure. But it turned out pretty awesome, I thought.
I've already had a couple people say they wanted to commission one, so once I tweak and polish the design a bit I'll definitely be making more of these.
Oh, and I'm also wearing some dragon horns that I made around a year ago. I made them by taking a computerized 3D model of the shape I wanted, slicing it into layers, cutting those out of birch plywood with the laser cutter, and then gluing them together. Basically it's like 3D printing but with plywood.
Black panther hood! It’s made of a real slick black leather, riveted together, attached with buckled straps, and it’s got a moving jaw!
I’ve posted a few scattered shots of this since I finished it last fall, but having it ready to sell took a while because I had to rework the jaw twice to fix an issue where it warped over time and wouldn’t close properly. The most recent update has been stable for 2 months though, so I think it’s good to go.
It’s available on my Etsy shop!
