Deadmau5 Head

Hey guys... my listing was removed. Contact me if you're interested.

Hah, that sucks.

- Wow, Giz. Those are all 14", too, yes? I'm using a 16". My eyes are also 4 1/2" though so they'll look slightly smaller (I think I'll prefer it, the yellow eyes on your 2.0 look slightly protrusive to me.) No offense, you're doing awesome work, dude! I want to see a picture of your whole family in those Mau5heads.
 
Yeah, they are 14". I wish I had the chance to have them all done together, but I'm shipping them out as I finish them, Halloween and all. I'm killing myself trying to get finish them, seems like nothing works right. Haven't slept at all tonight :/

No offense taken. This is the reference photo I used.

Giz - What are you using as far as fabric? I bought stretchy red velvet, not the crush kind but for some odd reason it looks....pinkish. Its not the deep red I wanted, is there any other kind of fabric thats as easy to work with as velvet but stays a red color?

Also the size of the ears? and the size of the actual base of the ears when it connects to the head?
 
I'm using flock instead of fabric. It has it's advantages and disadvantages. I think it looks better then fabric, but you have the prep the surface for paint.

The ears are about 14" tall and 13" at their widest. The arc that touches the head measures just over 7"
 
Ebay has been a bit of a bummer... This afternoon, apparently at the request of EMI Records, eBay removed my item from auction. They did, however, leave 8 very mediocre Mau5heads up for auction, and allowed many to close without incident.

I think if they remove one, they need to be equitable about it. Maybe having the interest and page activity volume I had in the first 24 hours was the problem, I dunno....

But for now, I'm not especially impressed with eBay
 
I'm still trying to find time to work on this with school. It's hell trying to get everything perfect!

Logit3ch, simple google search returns everything you're looking for as far as flock goes.

Here's some links:
Wiki: Flocking

Flocking Supply Store

That should at least get you started!


Yea when I looked up flock i got nothing but weird stuff that had nothing to do with it lol.

But I found a material to work with, its like swimsuit fabric, nice dark red and stretchs VERY easy, just a bit to sheen. Will see how it works.

Just finish doing the second version of my ears.
 
4-1/2" OD (2-1/4" tall) acrylic domes or half-spheres, which I found to be easier to find than 4-1/2" OD light globes, or balls or anything along those lines. Thankfully, Giz directed me in that direction otherwise I probably wouldn't have found anything that perfect.

Almost done, just the mouth to go!
