With the final coats on our painted design, it was time to add our secondary colors, mixed for the sake of making our UV reactive painjob pop even more. With respect to the character’s goatee, a small brush was used to create the impression of hair the best way it might look on a rubber tiger.

Just waiting for my stripes to dry. With the area cut in for the EL wire, it did take a few revisits to the edges, and some fine work with a tool.

Getting there, and Kat has reached the center of the head

This became a great marker to keep my stripe work flowing in the right direction. This is just one of many stripes that essentially were a reproduction of the stripes from Quietfire Version 1.

Kat just went on a whim and chose to work from the cheeks and work my way to the back of the hood

A reprise that sings alongside the quietest of fires. Stego gave this hooded KG1 an overhaul, while solving a change of fit in the wearer. The first part was breakdown, including revising elements of the EL lighting. It involved destruction of the paint job, and I cant tell you how hard that was for us. Quietfire’s look is distinct, and we pretty much nailed the design the first time. Once the fit was adjusted, there was a revisiting of familiar territory for everyone, as the design was redone. We did try some different colors, adding a third layer of paint, using UV reactive colors. Many of the lines at the brow and in the stripes had the UV detailing trying to curve with the rubber mask form, aiming for the look of fur highlights.

We saw many of our friends and peers at FC2014. With everyone getting ready for going down to the lobby, this pic just happened spontaneously.

An epic mask for an electric personality. We expanded our implementation of the EL wire, mixing it within the bright pink mohawk. Blue mirrored lenses complement the smooth textured painting atop the EL wire. The most punkish of tigers, he parties hard so the chin mounted drinking tube keeps him well hydrated. With an extra long (and thick) cowl, the wearer and mask are one.
