I have a few pairs of Christmas oriented antlers planned, but in the meantime, I wanted to release something more independant of them. Now that I have a basic animal head model from the deer mask, it won't be too hard to make a few more animals. My attempt at a wolf failed (again, still working on it) but thanks to it being a very familiar face, I made a feline. A face very similar to the one staring at me willing me to feed it, right now.
A cat mask was actually one of the first masks I made, and funnily enough I made it in November, 2006. So it only seems fitting that on its anniversary, I release the new one.

I'll admit right now that the tabby probably doesn't look too much like a tabby. "But why on earth are you releasing it Siyu, being the perfectionist that you are?" I hear you asking.
Why, because it's so adorable!

So yeah, apparently even though tabbies are crazy common, I hope this one slips by.

I LOVE it!
And I have a small hope that you make more animal masks like this! They remind me of Arthur Rackham illustrations, and I think they'd be delightfully strange and whimsical to traipse around in. :)
Wonderful wonderful work. As always. :)
Oooo those are lovely! I've read a bunch of books with his illustrations, but I haven't seen some of the more arboreal ones with the fairies.
Thanks Ruina :) I hope to make a few more too!
very well done. goona make neko avie pics now.. i'm out of turkey tho i have lots of ham..
Mousies! You need mousies! And bunnies and most of all donkeys! Eeee-Awww! ;)
Okay maybe I'll be quiet about the donkeys. I love the masks. They walk that line between Neko and Furry. Are you a fantastically fabulous cat-person or are you wearing a mask? Who can tell?
They're stunning. I always wanted a cat mask from you since the Bast one (the other wasn't so much me for all it was great for its time). Now I have one! HOORAY! Lovely work on the textures and the sculpties.
One thing I was wishing I could do was wear the ears separate, or take them off in the cases of when I'm wearing a hat. Though suppose I can just invisible the ears for those occassions.
I do love your animal masks. They're lovely.
You should have placed the M pattern on the forehead, then it would be a true tabby XD
