Custom Hood-Based Mask

This hood is the basis for a full head mask. It is a spandex or velour hood, which stretches over your head. Then, we attach prothetics to this hood and paint them to make a full head mask.

The advantage of this type of mask is that you don't need adhesives to wear it. This means that this mask could last for dozens or even hundreds of uses. Prosthetics attached to this type of mask can move and flex and still be expressive, though not as expressive as if they were glued onto your face. The only makeup required would be around your eyes and around your lips making it a quick alternative to prosthetics.

To build a Spandex or Velour Hood-Based Mask follow these three steps:

1. Add this hood into your cart along with your measurements, color choices, and describe what mask you're trying to build. (eg.: brown bear, grey rat, etc.)
2. Next, add all other prosthetics needed for the mask into your cart. We highly recommend using Hot Foam Latex prosthetics with this type of mask as they'll be the most flexible. Choose from noses, muzzles, brows, ears and anything else you'd like to be part of the mask. Many pieces can be combined together.
3. Last, add custom painting for each prosthetic or latex piece desired for the mask.

We'll sew the hood, combine the latex pieces onto it and paint it up to complete the mask.

Price includes ONLY one hood and the assembly of the mask. Prosthetics to build the mask with are sold separately in the cart and need to be purchased alongside this hood item.

We will need measurements of the circumference around your forehead and around your neck for this type of mask, as well as a description of the colors you wanted and what you're trying to make. Please keep in mind that colors for spandex and velour materials can be limited. We require a turnaround time of up to 2 weeks to assemble a Hood-based Mask.

Lyonshel Crow Face attached to a blue spandex hood and painted as a peacock.	1-Piece Beak in hot foam latex attached to a white spandex hood. There is an example of why we recommend brows to be used on these masks, as it'll avoid eye holes that look unnatural.	Rabbit Face in slush cast latex attached to a white spandex hood. This was worn under a Fur Hood. For noses and smaller prosthetics, where it's more natural to use your own chin, we'll cut out the chin area of the spandex or velour mask.
