Fantasy Cat Pattern
This is a pattern to create your own fantasy cat mask base, it even has a moving jaw! I was mostly inspired by the Khajit race from Skyrim, but it could be used for a Leonin, Tabaxi, Druid Cat form, lynx, tiger, lion or whatever your heart desires. There are 3 sizes included in the pattern, with instructions on how you can customize the size further.
Please note that you can sell finished products made with this base pattern, just add a credit to me and where you got the pattern! However, please do not sell unfinished bases, or resell or distribute the pattern itself.
Materials:
EVA foam -I recommend 6mm, but you can use 3, 4, 5 or 6 mm. I would not go thinner or thicker than those. I like getting mine from The Cosplay Pros or Sks Props.
Printer and 8.5” x 11” paper
Scissors – To cut the pattern after printing.
Ball point pen or Sharpie marker – To trace pattern on foam.
Cutting tool – I recommend a snap off utility blade.
Contact cement – Barge and Woodweld are good brands available at most hardware or convenience stores. I use Duall #88. Remember contact cement and rubber cement are different things.
1” elastic – Optional but can be used to hinge the jaw and add a strap to hold on your head.
Other finishing materials - (optional depending on how you want to finish it) - Plastidip, flex bond, Gap filla (TNT Cosplay Supply), Creature Cast Rubber, Plaid FX acrylic paint.
