Kigurumi mask to GIVE AWAY~!!!

Indeed the title is not spelt wrong. I have a kigurumi mask which I wish to give away. The only catch is, it is partially finished. However if you read my mask making tutorials, it is at a stage very close to being finished. The most demanding tasks are done.

Before I put it in the bin, I am wondering if anyone out there wishes to take over my tasks from here and complete the unfinished mask.

I realised that I do not have the time and patience to make 2 masks instead of one this time and will like to give the partially finished one away. This is due to my heavy work load and orders coming in for a new T-fa custom mask. Also, this new model is for meant personal use, there is no need for me to make two of it, I have no orders for it yet as its an unreleased model. I thought, why not just give it away just to recover the cost. I can always make another one if I need to and I do not have much room to store the partially finished mask.

The taker will pay for the shipping and US$100 negotiable, so just contact me if you are interested. I think its only fair that I do not need to pay your shipping to give you something.

What you are actually paying for are:
1) My time and effort to sculpt a highly photogenic model. It is an extremely photogenic design (this model is the beauty/sexy range) to supersede the Asuka model.

2) My time and effort to cast the original in silicone then in fibreglass and then smoothing the mask and spray painting until it is safe to hold and sand. (the partially finished mask has been sanded down for sharp edges, eye holes drilled and even painted in pale yellow. Putty has also been applied over the holes.) Just sand the putty down and repeat another once or twice depending on quality.

3) A chance to DIY if you do not wish to have everything done for by others and in turn you spend less money, and don't mind spending your time.

4) Almost complete artwork. Finished product will have the usual US$849 price tag or more.

5) A chance to own your own mask for a very low price if you do not mind doing some craft work by yourself.

Previously, I have to turn down people whom has approached me to request for unfinished masks for a low price simply because I do not recover my costs much for selling unfinished masks. This time I already have one, so I need to get rid of it by hook or by crook ...or by bin.

Any artists out there who wishes for a blank canvas at a rock bottom price, this is meant for you. It most likely will not come by again, I do not throw masks away so often.

Interested to know more about its cast, visit this thread over here which contains the original head form. It will give you an idea how the mask will look like when sanded down to smooth. Click on the link below.

I posted some pictures of the mask below. The white stuff is the putty, I have already started filling in the holes. But got lazy from the tedious sanding process, I decided to abandon it. After you sand it finish and patch up the holes a second round, it should be as smooth as glass (if you're a keen worker). Interested takers will receive free guidance and discussion for help needed though depend on your own creativity and artistic skills more over me.

Feel free to ask any questions

Guest visit, Shikinami Asuka~<3

Its an honour today for my beloved Shikinami Asuka from Evangelion (2.0) to drop in for a visit. She came in her shiny plugsuit right to my door steop. I didn't asked her if the people on her flight or bus ride asked here why she wore such a beautiful attire. But I'm curious. Curious if she told the people she met along the way that she's coming to me Wyu~^_^ It'll make them so jealous lol.

Well anyway, She put up quite a show for me and let me take pictures of her posing on a statue of her EVA 02 Unit~ So without much hesitation, I took pictures of her from all angles close and far. She even pretended to be a figurine by posing and not moving in a plastic box while I enjoy myself at shooting her (~hehe~)

Most of the shots are taken on my bed. Looks like I will be able to rest well tonite knowing that dear beloved Asuka actually sat on my bed today. Took a round of pictures on the usual runway I use (hehe~) and another round on the bed (~<3). There is another round of pictures to be taken, but I will keep those pictures to show everyone later~^_^ Please don't rush~

Well, if you are sharp to notice, there are some similarities with something on Shikinami Asuka you can find on something I was doing lately. Hehe, if you're thinking that I used her as a model in some way, you're right~^_^ I tried to mimic her lips~^_^ Take a look at the forum thread linked below to see the new headform which I have been making and see if you can notice the resemblance of the lips. (I hope there is >_<) Click on the link below to see the updates of the new mask making process

I haven't got Shikinami Asuka physically while sculpting it. All I did was use high resolution pictures of her I found online~^_^ I loved her quite alot, so I ordered for a chance to meet her physically... hehe~

Below are more pictures of the initial shoot~
(Don't ask me why the pictures are arranged like that, it seems like blogger.com will like to contribute their own aesthetics and artistic sense into this post for some reason~^_^;)

I~~~ Can Give You GATSBY~^_^ lol

Used Gatsby moving rubber to style excessively one kigurumi mask today. It is the Silver hair T-fa mask. Well it is my first time doing such an extensive styling, never had to style long hair before lol... hmm
I hope that it is passable for a first. I thought it was going to be hard, but apparently, the Gatsby moving rubber hair wax does its job really well. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to style their kiguurmi mask's hair style, if you don't have a kigurumi mask, you can get one here lol~^_^

To check up on the finished Sakuya (Silver baired T-fa) mask, drop by the forum thread over here~^_^

The phrase: "I can give you Gatsby" is the commercial theme song for tons and tons of Gatsy advertisements. Hehe, if you're not sure what that is, have a look at the youtube video I embedded below~^_^ The celebrity face of Gatsby, Takuya Kimura~
Signing out~ Hang around okie~

Asuka's black lolita cosplay~

Did an Asuka cosplay in her well known black with white frills lolita costume~^_^ Definitely one of my all time favourite Asuka attires, at last decided to get it. Did a very brief standing only shoot followed by a short live chat on stickam. I recorded two videos on there, pretty unchoreographed but just something to make a record of the costume attemp. Not sure when will Asuka get a chance to try out her Black lolita dress again~ hehe. I think that this is my fav Asuka costume till now in terms of cute looking and fitting. I still love the plugsuit, but this one is another style altogether~^_^

I trimmed and altered the costume a little, it came a little large, so I sewn up two chunks from the back. The sleeves are detachable, I think I need to reattach them properly as they kept falling down... not a very good idea when doing a live. The skirt is a little long too so shortened it a little by sewing it higher a bit. Hmm from the pictures it seems that the dress is a little long too lol... will try to fix that by the next time~^_^

For thos who are not familiar with the costume, I have attached an image here, this is how it is suppose to look like~^_^


I am still overly busy lol... need to finish up the Silver haired T-fa mask and also prepare to dye the new high quality zentais which are soon to arrive. Hehe, does seem like busy times al tend to stick together. Well, its busy and a little stressful, but its kinda fun and I feel highly educational at the same time~^_^

Hopefully I can get another chance at the Asuka mask before it gets sold hehe. Oh yar~ the new mask form is almost finished. Adjusted a few shape and edges here and there... will be undergoing a bit more fune tuning. Taking pictures to make estimates like previously done on the C.C. mask (come to speak of it, I wonder where the two of them went, would love to see more pics of them lol) so that I get a rough idea of how it will turn out and adjust it to my liking~^_^

For updates on the new (upcoming) headform, check out this thread. Using mathematical and anime proportions to shape the headform lol~^_^

The stickam video...
The sleeve dropped half way through the video ending it abruptly lol~@_@;
Had to switch to semi dropped sleeves style becos one sleeve has falled >_<


Hehe, until next update~^_^
Keep in touch, chat in the forums~
Hope you enjoy the pics hehe... will take some sitting poses next time around~^_^

Working like a Tweet~

Just thought I do an update for fun today, also to keep in line with the goal to keep updates more frequent. Trying to do a mininum of once per week hehe. Took an Asuka photoshoot the other day and had a live afterwards. The Twitter feature of Stickam is really neat, putting a tweet that I'm live on stickam whenever I do. Thats even better than formerly MSN-ing everyone to tell them that I'm on and come on in to have a chat~ I really recommend MSN friends and new friends alike to view my twitter feature on my website. The good thing is, you can subscribe to it if you like to. Looks like the problem of notifying friends when you're online is finally solved.

Did the Asuka shoot in the fate stay night school uniform, also appeared in the gallery once, can you recall which? Have a look in the gallery. Took a fair number of shots both of Asuka with the vest on and off... and... hmm... no video~^_^

Also working on the new silver haired T-fa mask and a modifying my new mask. If you're interested, you can check out the following forum threads here~^_^

Hehe, thats the update for now.
Keep checking for updates shortly~^_^

Neck, lips and bust~^_^

Taking a good look from an alluring angle. Glossy pink lips and faintly blushed cheeks. Smooth slender neck line flowing into the robes. Soft yet firmly wrapped up bossoms trying their best to peek. LoL... Its so stressful, I just want to do anything but work hehe ^_^; Hehe, took the Asuka mask out for another spin today. Put her in the fairy tale like goddess chinese robes. There is just something about how the chinese robes look sexy and yet conservative at the same time lol.

Was trying very hard to forget about the stress for a while when taking this break. Seeing Asuka helped a little, just wished it still isn't over lol. It has been a while since I took a full shoot. Took a large number of pictures and videos of Asuka, hehe... not sure when I will be able to put them up. Hopefully soon of course~^_^ Maybe it is just my way of saying, Asuka I miss you... before the Asuka mask is sold making way for the Senjougahara mask~>_^

I have been rather busy lately, I haven't even been able to work on a mask order (though there is still time). But I really wish to be able to ship it off soon and make someone happy. Well, in a few days time, I think I should be able to find more time to do the more relaxing things.

How have everyone been so far, all finding their own interesting things to do I hope~^_^ If you have any interesting things done, please do share it with me in the forums~

Hehe... ah~... feeling abit more relaxed now.
Will head back to work~^^
Take care~

Just a small update~^_^

Hopefully posting an update will help relieve some stress lol... busy busy busy. Working on a new headform at the moment, but stopped for a couple of days. More presing matters are at hand. Hmm perhaps the next week will be the busiest yet so far. How has everyone been... also placed an order for a few more... hehe cute costumes. I hope to see them soon, still in the production line I believe~^_^

Phew well, here ought to be the last few of the Saber in yukata try shoot pictures. The mask has already been enroute to manalight for about a week or two now... I hope it arrives safely lol. I'm looking forward to see how manalight will complete the saber look. The C2 mask seems to have found an owner who know fairly well how to take pictures hehe. So far it has been only 2 and still no sign of the owner. If you're interested, the pictures can be found here:

http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/gallery/image_page.php?album_id=54&image_id=444
Hmm... the first C2 mask has been in hiding for some time now haven't it hehe.

I'm really happy there there have been more good mask users enjoying my artwork. I'm looking forward to see caugun's pictures I guess. And I wonder who will be the owner of the currently for sale Asuka mask shortly.

Also there has been an update to the forums. A twitter feature has been added into the forums. I'm trying to make the twits appear on the index page, but so far, u can follow member's twits by looking at their profile. I also posted my twits on my main page. I don't use it much... hehe. But keep a lookout, it will automatically announce when I login to stickam... pretty nifty feature. Existing members can add their twitter settings into their user account from the user control panel.

Anyway, thats all for now, hope to be able to make another update soon ^_^
Have a great day and I hope you enjoy the pics~

Asuka up for grabs

Yay~^_^ I've put the Asuka mask up for grabs. Well... like always, like before, like everytime, there is nothing wrong with this perfectly new and great looking mask. I just want to sell it off to get some funds to have another round of mask making fun~ Plain fund raising~ ^_^ Anyone interested please contact me okie~^_^. Hehe... I'm still holding back a change of mind so~... To see the details, click on the button on the top right side of the blog which reads "Kigurumi cosplay mask sale".

The entire mask is put up for quicksale including the hair. I can allow a change of eye if the buyer wishes too ^_^ But I hope I can bundle the hair with the hair... like the last Ignis mask I sold~ High quality or normal quality bodysuit is not included, but it can be bought separately. If anyone wishes to know more details of the sale, don't hesitate to email me at wyukig @ gmail . com ~^_^

Did a little video recording in the Asuka mask with the black latex suit, polished a little more. lol... You can take a look at the video from below~

Hmm the black chair kinda makes it hard to see my figure clearly... But then... wouldn't make sense to get a white chair just for this reason isn't it lol.

Hehe... still very busy... and its not even the climax yet. A new mask is emerging soon, keep a close lookout for updates in the forums~^_^. Oh and if anyone has some curiosity about the picture at the top of the blog post... hehe its a yet to be completed sketch... which I thought wouldn't harm posting~^_^

Take care everyone, and cya soon~

Saber try out~

With permission, the Saber mask has been taken out for a try out~ Took a number of pictures and did a few minutes of live. Saber took a spin in the baby blue yukata and later a flash in her knickers. Looks ok so far... Realised that the hair is very difficult to mess up... becuase, there is pretty much no free flowing hair lol. Even the sides are very short and didn't reall get tangled at all. A very convenient fact... well the benefits of short hair (or no free hair) ^_^ The mask is very easy to put on and off, there is no hair getting in the way, except for that the wearer needs to be extra careful when remove and putting on the mask. This is because of the wraped in back of the mask in the Saber design~

The Saber mask thread in the forums can be found here:
http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=631

Posted a few quick ones down below, there will be a dozen or so more that I'll put up in the next few day's time. Hmm with that, documentation for this mask is complete. What do you thing of it? ^_^. I hope to quickly send it off, would be good to clear some space for the next order. Quite busy lately, will try to post updates on the next upcoming one soon~
Meantime, do hang around, drop by the forums too to talk abt the old and the new news hehe.
Take care~

Saber cute version?

Hmm finished the Saber mask for Manalight today. Phew, it is more troublesome and tedious than I imagined it to be. Took about 2 days of come and going to make each parts and wait for glue to try lol. The pictures of the finished mask and also the other recently finished masks can be found in the "mask customisation for sale" section~^_^

Hehe how has everyone been? Looks like everyone has something interesting to share all the time. Daza and Casey got a new friend in Melbourne which shares their kigurumi cosplay interests~^_^ They had a meet up today and took a fair number of (disorientated) pictures lol... You can find the pictures in the members gallery in the forums and also in this thread~
http://wyu.ulmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=8&p=6937#p6934

As for me, I'm really really busy lately. Finishing the Saber mask is like a huge load taken off. It has been a while so I wanted to finish it so that I can send it away and clear my back log. Well a new customer's order is in, but as a new order, it can still wait. I'm not busy with kigurumi mask making stuff hehe... its other stuff related to the non-hobby side of life~^^

Well, stay tuned, you never know when an update will come around~
Drop by and chat in the forums~^_^
