Everything has been re-done on those...even the eye hole size (larger, rounder, less slanted eyes).
The problem with the last up-sized kitsune mask was that I enlarged EVERYthing and it threw the mask off; the ears behaved differently & lost that close-together catlike appearance that is so key to the look of a traditional kitsune. The muzzle was too much like the wolf mask.
With this new pattern I left the ears alone (mostly...they are very slightly bigger) and the muzzle mostly alone too (I just made it a hair bigger) but the face/eye area is a full 20% bigger (same size as my wolf masks are). Then I re-did all the markings and carvings to fit the new proportions.
