anbu mask

[pikacheeka.livejournal.com]

Does anyone have a handmade ANBU mask they'd be willing to part with (or could make one and have it shipped out by this weekend)?

I don't want that generic plastic one you can buy on eBay/Amazon. I'm looking for a handmade one. I've commissioned two people now )paid one already) and they've both stopped responding, so I'm starting to panic.

I figured I'd try here because I'm sure someone else has cosplayed ANBU. Thanks!

I hope you used paypal for the transaction so you can dispute it.

Also, I've never made one before (so can't help there), but if you're really out of options can try making your own via these suggestions: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Naruto-Anbu-Mask-for-Cosplay

I've tried to make masks before and I'm REALLY bad at it. I know there are people out there who specialize....

I know you're not looking to make one yourself - but just in case, I thought I would propose a slacker method.

Paper mache can be a lot easier than clay, especially if you're in a rush. You can buy any old plastic mask from a costume shop (I made an AtLA Blue Spirit mask on top of a Jason mask from the Halloween store :P) and cut out simple shapes (like ears) out of cardboard and just duct tape them on as crudely as you want - then cover the whole thing with newspasper dipped in water and starch, let it dry, and paint it :3 woohoo! It's not the most eternally durable mask in the end, but you don't have to have mad sculpting skillz.

Anyway, just putting that out there in case of emergency! ;) I hope you find someone to help you!
