Blue Leopon closeupby *LilleahWest

Artisan Crafts / Costumery / Costumes / Cosplay & Role-Playing

Leopard-lion mix, the lion shows in the head shape, eye size, muted spots and tail fluff.

UGH My camera KILLED the colors, if you can see this in person, do it, the camera failed to capture all the subtle shading (for example you can hardly see the minty color in the ears and you cannot see it on the muzzle at all....and more detail than just that was lost fff)

This customer has medically valid overheating concerns and so I did the following to make this as cool as possible:
- I cut ear vents where the ear canal would be, as you can see the fluff hides these holes.
-the feet were made on open top shoes with the tops left open (and as you can see pants hide the open top)
- there is a fan in the muzzle with a nifty new design Camerapup came up with where the cord disconnects in the middle (with this head you put the cord under your shirt and connect it to the battery pack in your pants pocket) this blows air in and there is a strip in front of ones nose so air is directed to the sides (this way it does not blow on your eyes and make your nose runny)
- the face lifts up in what I call "pop the top" (the neck is not connected in the front and just stays pulled under your chin, so you can lift the face up and set in on your head) which allows for quick cooling and use of normal vision, pops up and down quick and easy.
-like all my heads this is built on a baseball cap minus the brim. The foam face (lined in black inside) sits away from the skin so the only parts that touch you are the hat and part of the neck. With the fan there is full air flow all the way around ones head. This also means the heat is not soaking up all your sweat so it stays clean inside.
- large mesh vision ports not only allow for excellent vision but they also act as additional cooling vents.
