Today I learned that if you take an elephant and make his ears round and move them to the top of his head he turns into a large rodent. A cartoon mouse even. Who knew! In the illustration the drawing on the left represents the original pachyderm gas mask concept. The drawing on the right is what the mask currently resembles. Clearly I need a model of a full-sized human head on which to make my patterns. Guessing—the technique I have been using up to this point—doesn't always work. OK, there is any easy enough workaround for this, and that is to take the strap that the ears are attached to and lengthen it so that the ears hang a bit lower. Hopefully, the elephant will then return!

Hahahaha that's so funny. Don't you have it when you take a step back and go...oh...what have I done?!?! And I love the blank look on the mouse's face...priceless.
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing wrong with a Mousephant!
ReplyDeleteMousephant? I love it!
ReplyDeleteDon't fret... the tusks will help. Mice don't have tusks, right?
ReplyDeleteQuite true, and a good point. And the tusks are just about ready to attach.
