So, prompted by another thread:
I don't really want a fursuit, and especially not a fursuit head. What I want a face covering that explicitly reads as a mask.
It's a weird reverse thing? To me personally, a fursuit head that tries to be as realistic as possible would still feel like costume. A mask, however, acknowledges my embodied human form while being a reflection of a deeper underling animality.
(sadly, the artist who makes the masks I really covet didn't answer an email. I'm trying to figure out what the next best thing is.)
@starkatt Would these fit the bill for you? http://www.furaffinity.net/user/magpiebones/
@indi Absolutely gorgeous work but not quite what I'm thinking of for the moment. I'm bookmarking it anyway :) Thanks!
@starkatt I actually think she does do 'more-mask-like' stuff, if you haven't seen it in the gallery (I'm sure I've seen it there somewhere) but it does still have fur, etc, so it's not really the same vibe as the jillor stuff like Ellu's. I can confirm that Jill does not take commissions for those, but does sometimes offer premade ones for sale, it's then just a matter of hoping that what they put up meets with your aesthetics.
