Spooktober time again... Well not really a typical Halloween papercraft, but it kind of fits the theme? Since all of the cosplay events are canceled this year, even our biggest in the country in December, we are going to have everything per cam and such. So, I though what I would be making to fit in the cam theme cosplay, since it's not really effective to dress all of yourself, since only the face is mostly visible, SOOOO, I wanted to make a Kitsune Mask for the even, and since I don't have any shops here in a radius of +300000 km that would actually sell one, I made one myself XD so, that's the idea of the Kitsune Mask papercraft really.
The papercraft is unfolded to 36 cm height, since I measured my face + the ears that are overhanging on the top, so I think it should mostly fit everybody's face more or less. It has 15 pages to print and it’s not really hard to do. And of course, the model, the design idea and textures and color-scheme are all mine and made by me 100%.
Actually, I have made the mask to fit 2 purposes: one being a cosplay mask that you can build and with a bit of rope or elastic you can put on your face, OR you can actually use it as an ornament/décor or wall mount. The difference being, that the mask, when built as an ornament, can be closed at the back side and hanged on the wall like that, whereas if you want to use it as a cosplay prop, you leave out the back parts of the mask and build just the front part of it. Isn’t that nice? :D I think it’s a cool trick to use it in 2 different ways and it’s easy to make. Also, a lot of people are using papercrafts as the base for their cosplay preps and then reinforcing them with glue, or cutting the pieces out with foam after, so I though about making some 2-time puprose papercrafts like this. Might make more if it gets popular, who knows.
