HMS Rooster Costume Mask Adult One Size

There will be some shedding of the white fur material but the mask held up perfectly for the Hotline Miami costume. Just note that when you have it on and talk, it is extremely loud inside the mask.

Works perfectly as a base for my Jacket cosplay. I painted mine and it turned out well I think. It’s my first cosplay and I’m not usually much of a painter. The fur is tricky to paint, very easy to overdo it which I knew so I was very careful. I tried a few methods but landed on simply brushing the fur with the paint brush and carefully (very slightly) blending it with a paper towel. If you want my advice, don’t blend it too much and don’t water down the paint, just dip the brush in the paint and dab almost all of the paint off onto a paper towel before brushing the fur with the damp brush. Then pat the fur dry with another paper towel. I don’t recommend using red paint at all on the fur unless you mix it with black, because it’s too bright and will stand out way too much. I’d recommend to use brown, black and maybe even a cream color (or yellow mixed with white and some black) if you’re going for an aged look. As for the rest of the mask, I had fun carefully brushing all the colors and details the same way but dabbing less of the paint off on the paper towel. Use another paper towel to pat down and blend paint so it doesn’t look too much like paint strokes. I used a little fake blood spray I got on Amazon for some of the blood drop details. Accidentally blended some of the fake blood into the fur because it doesn’t dry as fast as acrylic paint, so if you’re going to use fake blood, do it last. Also be careful with black paint and make sure to blend it well and only use it in areas you want to be shadowy. Use brown and black in shadowy areas where blood would pool. I also cut a few slits into the mouth of the beak to breath out of and superglued some black net inside the mask where I see out of, so people can’t see my real eyes behind the net near the nostrils. I did not cut out the chicken’s eyes, I just painted them black. Heavily considered it though, maybe I will in the future and put some black cloth behind them to make it look hollow. Overall perfect base for a Jacket cosplay. If you don’t want to do all the extra painting then just paint the eyes black and call it a day. Remember nobody cares more about your cosplay than you do, so nobody is going to judge your paint job. Don’t be too hard on yourself and just enjoy the experience of customizing your cosplay.

Product arrived very fast and exactly as described. Highly recommended!

great mask for those doing a hotline miami cosplay!

This mask is super bland by itself. I used another reviewers photo as a paint guideline and it turned out pretty okay. I just dipped a cloth in black acrylic paint and wiped it around to get the worn look. The hair was another hassle on its own… I couldn’t figure out how the other reviewer made his so PERFECT. I just ended up painting some brown, black and fake blood through the fur and it kinda looks okay. I wish I knew how he did it! Lol Anyway, pls buy. It’s worth.
