Dear lord, that is incredible work!! What did you use to make the 3d model?

Thank you! I made my version 1 using Zbrush and then when I modified it for V2 I switched over to Blender. I actually liked blender much better. This was the first 3d model I've ever made.

I meant what did you use as your reference material? Chewie has always been my favorite character, and I've seen pics of the original (and replica) underskulls, but I'd have no idea what dimensions and such to use to make a 3d model. I assume you've been doing this kinda thing for a while now? (For those of us who dream of making a killer Wookiee costume some day)

Oh, my bad. I misunderstood. I actually used one of the screen used masks for getting the approximate size. One just sold at auction and they had the dimensions on the listing. Other than that I just used Google for original trilogy Chewbacca pictures. This was my first mask ever and first 3d model. Check out my videos if you want to see some of the process. Hope I answered all the questions. If not let me know.

Got some new Wookiee Totem patches from my buddy Josh Beckett in the Wookiee Builders Facebook group! Chewie loves them!

Thank you!
Not wanting to distract too much from the absolutely jaw-dropping work that you've done with this but...
...what on earth is going on in the background?
