Cats Costume Discussion Board

Hehe, I'll steer even clearer of those then, if by similar to Misto and Vicky you mean they have a white base. Snazaroo and I do not get along well for almost entirely white bases. But to be honest, the designs just don't interest me or inspire me enough to want to do them. I'm not knocking the production, it's just personal taste.

I'm always in awe at the way you manage to shape the black of the eye area, I think your style would work really well for a lot of the Japanese toms.
I still think you look more tom than queen here :p

Aww thanks Ena hunni, I thought those eye 'wings' were going to come out terribly actually, I just sort of sketeched them out with a brush and flilled them in. So more luck than judgement I guess. And glad I look tomly to you, though I still think it's a very young Mungo

Hehehe, it's true, you make a rather young Mungo, but not quite a kitten either. Misto-age Mungo!

I really like the expression you gave him, with the mischievious eyebrows. Really, those are not the usual brows you see on toms, and they work super well. I love the little "x" as well, it's a neat personnal touch.

He suits you well. Not your very best tom, but a lovely choice. He's colorful, and colorful is good.

Aww thanks EK, the shape of the brows came from the reference pic I was using (courtesy of Toxic), but I remember thinking they were a little different at the time. I kind of like them on me though, they were a good shape for me, because when I'm woking with thiker or more generic brows I have a tendency to mess them up. If they're a more stylised shape then I have to concentrate on them more so they end up looking better overall.

Hehe, well I never think of Mungo as too old anyway, I'd always say Rumpel might have a few years on him But I guess I have eiter and adult tomcat face or a kitten one, no inbetween, lol!

I imagine both mungo and rumple being in theyre high teens (maybe 18 or so) cats (maybe after seeing theyre crazy swedish wigs^^) rather than fully adult ones.

Another new face, because my internet was being slow and I needed something to do whilst waiting for it to upload some photos for uni work.

Another first-time face for me too, and one of the males I've always been a little scared to do. Though I have to say, when I got around to it, I had a lot of fun doing it!

Base is copper Snazaroo blended over yellow ochre, middle section of the base is (obviously) white. Detail in copper, dark brown, black and white snaz. All cake, except for some of the white, which was a mix of cake and white liquid snaz.

I'm not sure if I went a little overboard with the muzzle lines, but hey, at least he's a happy chappy, if not a little scary at the same time!
beacause this make up makes me want to grin all the time!
see, I can't stop!


I'm also beginning to think I'd have done better with a lighter or warmer brown for some of the stripe work, but I'll let you guys be the judge of that;

Comments and Critique are very much appreciated, critique especially!

girl you amaze me!!!! this face is in the top 5 of my fave faces from you definitely!!!!
great base and details....gaaaah it's fab!!!!

hehe, desperately avoiding the queens, are ya???? you can't deny them any longer, miss!!!!

Oh I like it! Skimbles a hard looking face to try, theres so many details and its easy to make it too crowded. The base itself is soft looking, especially with the way the colour comes into the cheeks and changes slightly, two colours blended in this very deliberate way really make faces look so much more professional looking, like, London quality, no flatness at all. I really love.
You make a really cheeky looking Skimble Ama!

Wow! you did a really great job on Skimble I love all the detail you put in it.This is one face I can't seem to get to look right but you did an amazing Job in it.=^-^=
