Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween everybody!

I made this white buffalo helmet over the last couple of days. The skeleton was made of cardboard with foam core struts for structural integrity. The eyes are glass taxidermy eyes, with pink corduroy and brown leather accents and of course white faux fur. I attached it to a fighter pilot helmut that had a visor and screwed it on so that it is both removable and can open and close it's mouth. (The bottom jaw is separate and detachable.) I'm really pleased with "Shomoko Buffalo" and I'll upload better photos if I get around to taking them.









Here was the original sketch to figure out the cardboard form underneath:
