All masks are done through moulds that are reused for mass-production, and those moulds are not modular. You can't have them alter a specific trait of the mask because of this, even as a custom request - the best you can do is commission a custom mask, but that goes into the thousands.

If you're willing to fork that money, you could negotiate having them create a unique mould for your mask, but in that case, you could ask them to create the mask with the face you like. I *think* CreaFX lets you commission them for custom masks, as well as other FX studios (I think CFX?), but not the "brands" (Roanyer, DreamMask, MoliFX).

Hope that helps.

It makes sense. But knowing how there are different faces around the world, I'd assume there are probably different mold sizes from different makers (and different models from the same maker as well)

Reading through the posts (and as I want to get into masking since my face has taken a turn to the "unpassable" with the recent years), I kinda want a few suggestions to decide upon. For what's worth, my nose bridge is bigger than average, but my face as a whole is a default size. From what I see, Roanyer's May (which seems to be a great cost/benefit) has this issue with a small bridge gap, so I'm looking at alternatives that won't burn such a big hole in my pocket.

Alternatively, I've seen mask pictures that have a structure for tightening it from the back. I'd assume those are more solid masks instead of silicone ones, right?

First of all - hi, Alyss.

Indeed, some brands and studios have different molds, but they're not modular - you can't have the nose of one and the frame of the other, since sculpting the mold would take a lot of time.

That said (just to restate), it's really trial and error with masking. The nose bridge part is complicated at most - the best is to measure head circumference and nose bridge and get the closest fit - within 1", I'd say. I know Dreammask is pretty meticulous with its measurements, so they're a good option to evaluate as they're mid-range in terms of costs.

I only have one rope-laced mask and I can say they're probably not as firm as you think, but that depends on the purpose. If they're built for doll looks (fixed eyes), then expect them to be a bit firmer, but if they have proper eye holes, they should be flexible enough. That's usaully the go-to rule for masks.

AI is definitely a work in progress. It'll get better in a few months from now, but as it stands it leaves a lot to be desired

>>1515

Yeah. It all seems to involve making the right prompt - as someone said in a site I frequent (speaking about ChatGPT as a tool), it's like doing a commission to an Indian techie. You need to guide LLMs carefully so you get the desired results.

Ultimately, it's all about being satisfied with the results. The pic to the left, for example, only had AI do the face-swapping. The rest was just very basic (like, MS Paint basic) photomanipulation and organizing into a collage to create the illusion of a spy preparing to wear a mask of someone else. It's not perfect but it's enough to suspend disbelief and tell a story. With better skills, the scene would've developed a lot better. With a good prompt, AI could've probably done this (the three pictures are mine, using a larger mask as the prop and actually wearing it at the end), but it would've taken a different amount of work and patience, probably for the same results.

Sure, LLMs and photomanipulation/image creation AI tools will most likely get better when fed all that data, but ultimately it'll stop at a point where the majority of people feel satisfied.

Another cute pic.

And the inverse of the top one.

And one last bodyshot for good measure.

This should finish this particular day. Next one is ANOTHER long day, with lots of wig changes and even a mask change mid-session.

See you whenever I'm not lazy!

Is there a video that went with this?

Any activity is good activity. (And if you have something new to show, the better.)

Bodyshots are always nice to have especially when youre good at covering up the lines

Happy Hallowe'en, my minions! <3 XOXO

(A taste of things to come, but this one was taken today - alongside many others.)

I was pointing the choice of words. I'll admit, they made me feel a bit uncomfortable, mostly because you were too quick to clarify.

>>1384
Bold choice.

Morrigan's costume uses a lot of spandex. Hip-wise, you could go for a pantyhose under the leggings and mix it with padding (a trick used by drag queens), making sure the leggings are from breathable fabric. Beating sweat will still be difficult, though - have you tried spray-on antiperspirant? I doubt it'll stop sweating altogether, but at least it should make it *less* sticky.

It's alright if you don't want to mix it with a mask. I'm curious about why you'd say your experience with a mask is "shaky", though.

>>1385
I'm also >>1376 for reference, the shaky part of masking is dealing with the eyeholes. Turns out the mask seems to be a tiny bit too small for my face and the holes get stretched and that's why it looks bad.
Good call about antiperspirants. Gotta give it a try - between that and the generous amounts of baby powder I usually go for, that should buy me some nice extra time while suited

>>1386
I've found baby powder doesn't always help with sweating - there's a point where sweat accumulates so much, it becomes slimy. Antiperspirant should stop that, particularly if it's spray-based. (And if it's designed for women, then it's a bonus.)

As for the eye slots, that's the issue with early-design masks - they were designed for smaller heads. That said, judging by the pic, they fit you pretty well. Try using foundation and eyeshadow to blend in.

I got quite a good collection, always finding a way to buy more stuff.

Mask-wise, I tend to prefer those from Dreammask, as they fit very well. MoliFX has turned to be my second choice - their Luxuria mask looks amazing. I've also purchased from Roanyer and from others, and my first mask was a CreaFX but it's too damaged to be reused.

As for other prosthetics, I tend to purchase breastplates, girdles and gloves. I've gotten them from multiple sizes, though ever increasing.

Breastplates: I find the ones I use the most are those from Dokier, followed by MoliFX. Dokier sells good, long-lasting breastplates at a relatively cheap price, though sometimes they can make them pretty thick.

Girdles: Since I like big curves, The Kim has solved many of those problems. I got a couple others from Dokier, EYung and Roanyer; the latter is more of a panty, with thin and stretchy silicone, but the genital opening is very wide. I usually have issues with those little tubes, which is why I like when they're wide and stubby, I will say that I think I got more EYung girdles than anything else.

Gloves: I started with ones from Celesmask, which I still have, and moved to test a few others. Gloves are the least exciting because they're hard to put in, hard to take out, and prone to tearing. The ones I got from Dreammask fit snugly and nicely but got a nasty tear after a couple uses, mostly because their nails are glued on properly and I was trying to avoid breaking them.

As to where I buy everything - AliExpress, though the MoliFX stuff I buy directly from their site. You can find them cheaper while still being the real deal.

And as a final remark: I have that Hathaway mask in OP's pic. Hathaway is one of my favorites, though my favorite mask still has to be the Haena.

Not sure exactly what it is about this one, but I particularly like it. It's like a busty office lady posting selfies while out a lunch or something, and were it not for the fact that this is the kind of thing we do here, if I saw the thumbnail posted somewhere on the internet I might not even guess that's a mask.

I dont think you should be concerned about raceplay beind a bad thing. Skinsuits are about the other the...contrast and difference and changing race is part of that appeal. Ive seen white maskers turn into black women and thats becoming more common nowadays. I think you should not worry to much and just enjoy what youre doing without feeling concerned about feeling racist or whatever. I'd love to take a spin as an asian chick but none of the Aisan fitting masks seem right for my face so its a shame.

Just look in the mirror and enjoy what you see, and if you dont oike it you can change it. ;)

>>1373

Well put. Thanks for sharing your opinion. I like how it deals with the appeal of masking outside of personal reasons - it is, as you said, a play on contrasts at its core, because it lets you be someone that you aren't.

I'll admit I made this thread out of cautiousness - given how easy it is to anger people, I didn't wanna offend the few people that enjoy this as a hobby, as an expression or even out of kinkiness. Considering how the very act of masking can be offensive to people (though the consensus seems to verge on "weird", apparently), I figured touching on the community's consensus would help clear things out.

>>1003

Oh wow...that's a May with breasts, or neckless with a separate breastplate? (Or neckless + full bodysuit? I know you've said that on the subReddit...)

That's definitely such a nice pic - simple-looking, but projecting just the right mix of cute and sexy. The blurring effect makes eyes focus only on you, which is a plus.

(Kinda feel disappointed that the only thing I can do is take selfies with my phone.)

>>1005
It is indeed only may with breasts :)

also thanks for the kind words ^^

...
And, much later, here's a pic with just the new booty to show what a difference just adding some hip, butt, thigh padding can do.

Maybe I'll get around to the unboxing and showing what I got while pretending it's all new (since I took the pics then).

damm girl looking very nice hope to see more pictures of you around still stay a shame i cant find anybody a normal proximity :P

such a shame

Well done Bestan. You look realistic :3 Have fun ! ^^

that looks incredibly sexy, how does it feel to wear? You look absolutely fantastic, congratulation!
