- 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.
- Salporin’s mask is primarily dark blonde. The bridge of the nose, forehead, top of the head, and back of the head should be brown.
- A slight mustache feature s also present and must match the colour of brown used for darker areas of the face.
- The mouth has 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 are to 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.
