I patterned it all from scratch, too!

Sewn both by hand & machine. Has a velcro closure on the front of the neck! Also super light, so your head & neck won't hurt while wearing it (I'm very proud of that)! I lined the mouth with soft fleece and the inside of the head with satin. It's really comfortable!

It's not a mask, so you can't see out of it if you pull it over your face!! It's meant to be worn more like a hood.

If you have any questions about how it was made, feel free to ask!

Black fur is really difficult to photograph.. it looks better in-person!

Ooooh nice, that looks hella cosy too!

Will it be used like a hat, or maybe even attached to a jacket via zip/metal buttons?

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh, it's nice and cozy!

It's fully lined, so it's meant to be used as kind of a hat/hood/scarf combo. I'm sure it could potentially be modified to attach to a piece of clothing, though!

Do you take commissions?

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I definitely would, if people are interested.

I currently only have base patterned for big cats and wolves/canines right now, though. But I'm sure I could mod the canine base to be a fox or something.

What kind of creature did you have in mind? (If not a black lion)

[–] match@pawb.social 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lion, but with colorful fur

I'd probably be down with that! Send me a message if you'd like to discuss it further.

I love it! I like how it's an intimidating look until you see the big kitten eyes lol

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I made a more "realistic" version in my v1.0 iteration, but I really do prefer the bigger, more friendly eyes!

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's really hard to get something like this not looking like bad taxidermy, and I really enjoy the slightly cartoony (but not in a goofy way) eyes! I can imagine this being amazing to wear for someone playing a barbarian in D&D or LARPing.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I actually had things like LARP & ren faires pop into my head when I was thinking about what kind of goober besides me would like this!

Thank you! It's definitely a difficult balance to have creatures look good without looking too uncanny.

[–] Naja_Kaouthia@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is fantastic and I would wear it everywhere.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you! It's nice and reasonably warm without getting too hot!

Gives me a real "degenerates like you belong on the cross" vibe.

[–] SharkEatingBreakfast@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Made a wolf cowl in the past and was told the same thing!

AND I'LL FORM... THE HEAD!
