Required Details
● Mask hair must match the suit.
● The mask must completely cover the head and neck, without completely obscuring the shape of the shoulders.
● The eyes, a smooth black nose, and a large jaw/muzzle must all be clearly visible.
● The bridge of the nose, forehead, top of the head, and back of the head must be dark brown with the rest being blonde.
● There are seven dreadlocks present: four in the front, two blonde, two dark brown, and three dark brown in the back, all adorned with silver, cylindrical beads.
● A slight moustache feature s also present.
● The mouth must have a slight frown when closed.
● The mask hair must be smooth and well groomed, not bushy, so that the mask’s shape and structure are clear.
● Static masks must not be frozen in an opened position. All static mouths must be fully closed.
● Eye makeup (shades of black or brown) must be worn around the eyes and completely cover any exposed skin.
Optional Details:
● Although a functioning jaw and/or lip snarl is not required, the skin and lips of any mechanical masks must appear as one piece, rather than a separated jaw and face. This refers only to the mask’s outward appearance, not the underskull. Costumers should be aware that mechanical jaws and lips are complex projects requiring purpose-built components using special materials. They cannot simply be added to an existing latex rubber mask. Consult the costuming resources and fellow Wookiee costumers for advice on this project.
