And here is the finished mask in all its glory

I hope you enjoyed this trip through this madness. Included here are some videos of how the systems work (as documented for a wolf with the same system) pelase feel free to peruse my site and other videos of my work .

I have only been doing my art for 3 years now and I hope to continue creating these pieces. Perhaps one day you will see my stuff in the movies. who knows.

thats amazing. would do that if i had the money, haha there awsome makses.

have you thought about using old camcorder digital viewfinders? there more like £30 for the pair rather than £400

also you should add more leds to take advantage of the ir camera i think,

MOST impressive. I think, what would also be really cool, is if you could make an animatronic head of Anubis, the Egyptian GOd of the Dead. That would be pretty sweet, too!

Very nice. Long, but some one who wanted to could if they had the effort. Or they could buy one from you.
