While I was away in Costa Rica, I was feeling very artistic, and I thought about how few gryphon suits there were, so I got in touch with one of
2gryphon's friends, and we arranged a deal where I would make 2 a fuirsuit head for a surprise birthday present. He found out though, once his roommate started measuring his head, so now it's just a gift fursuit head. It's my first avian, and I think I did an ok job on it.
At FA U, I was able to talk to 2gryphon and see if the wireframe I had made fit him. While we were discussing it, he said it would be awesome if he had one of those nazi caps to go with it. Unfortunately, I only make good guy things. However, when I got home, I realized that my dad had an authentic soviet officer's cap, so I just had to try it on him, and damn, it actually fit really well.
A bit of backstory on the hat: No, I am not a Soviet fur. That is a real officer's hat from back when Russia was still the USSR. This was only a few years before the collapse of the Soviet Union, and my dad was traveling through. He was stopped on the street by a soldier who was desperately trying to sell his uniform for any american currency, so my dad got the hat for something like $5. He could probably have gotten the whole uniform for $10.

There is a movie called, "A Gathering of Eagles," about the Strategic Air Command. The mask and the cap reminded me of that. It was just on a nostalgia TV channel and it was pretty good.
