"Sepioids are peaceful, curious aliens who evolved in low gravity that somehow supports a very humid lower atmosphere. Their scent/respiratory sensory organs are located on the back of their round heads, the appendages constantly refresh moisture much like a human eye blink. Their mouth appendages are used to produce bubbling singing speech, and for gesturing and emotional signalling, in constant intricate motion. However, when visiting higher grav worlds, these tend to be held tightly together while a vocal translator is used for communication. One speculates that gravity exerts too much pull for them to speak with the same graceful articulation, much like a human trying to speak after a shot of paralyzing novocaine. Sepioids are able to keep their jelly- like bodies upright and ambulatory for short periods of time while visiting higher gravity environs but must retire to a tide pool float pod for several hours for sleep and recovery. Many of them can be seen with curious semi transparent carapace sitting over their forehead. This is in fact another living creature! These symbiotic amphibious animals spend most of their life in a flat jellyfish like stage until they are ready to reach the next life cycle by attaching to a Sepioid, permanently shaping themselves to the round forehead. It is unknown what the mutual benefit is for both creatures but it is speculated it provides some sort of armor or sensory enhancement for the Sepioid while the jelly-creature gets free meals and protection for the rest of their life."

This piece has been painted with a gajillion layers of color and iridescent paint! It took me a very long time to get the paint just right and the color scheme is based on a halitrephes jellyfish.

It has been sealed with many layers of glossy and satin clear coat but please take care with this to prevent any paint scuffing.

This mask is made up of a top face piece, a jaw piece and back panel piece with a translucent carapace over the top. The back panel is attached to the top cast with flat elastic and will flex when pulled when it is put on. The elastic will "clap" the panel over the back of the head to secure and should be pulled open again when the mask is taken off. Buyer may need to replace the elastic with looser pieces if desired.

This mask is a tight fit, meant to angle down over the face with the chin inside the bottom jaw. It is a little tricky to get on! Buyer may need the chin piece shaved down to fit properly, we can discuss this if there are fitting issues. My head is just under 22" around.

The flappies are made of flexible TPU fabric, a type of PVC that is tear resistant. Please take care if you must apply heat to the inside of the mask for shaping as the TPU can curl up if heated too much.

General mask info:

- This urethane is sensitive to heat. Please keep it out of direct sunlight as it can warp under it's own weight when hot. If the mask does not fit, It can be heat shaped by using a hairdryer or heat gun to warm the inside of the mask. Gently open the mask by holding and spreading both sides while warm to make it wider. Set the shape you want by immersing the warm mask in cold water or leaving on an upturned bowl or object to hold the shape while it cools.

-This mask fits most faces but a perfect fit is not guaranteed. Cannot be worn with glasses.

- Do not use this as safety equipment or a welding mask or anything else but costuming. Use common sense, please. I am not responsible for injuries sustained through improper use of this mask.
