Those who have n’t learn Hayao Miyazaki ’s Spirited by might assume that the mask wear by No - Face reveals the character ’s heart and mouthpiece , but hidden just below it is a titan , moderately terrifying tooth - filled grin into which No - look finally shovels full of food at a giant feast . It ’s a feature that Savage’soriginal No - Face costume , which has rack upover a million view on YouTubeover the preceding seven eld , was missing — but not any longer .
Savage is n’t the first cosplayer to recreate No - cheek ’s gaping maw , but with decades of prop - construction experience under his belt , his new and meliorate No - Face costume might be one of the most impressive recreations to ever stray through a convention . Built using a combination of aluminum strips from a hardware store , yards of humbled velvet , foam , and hand - carve plastic teeth , Savage actually claim some inspiration from another well - known airscrew constructor , Stuart Freeborn , for an extra stratum of added detail .

When No - typeface ’s lip opens , it activates an extra conducting wire cable mechanism that makes the character ’s lips retract and dentition more visible , and it ’s based on the chemical mechanism that Freeborn create so the mouth movements of the Chewbacca costume used in the original Star Wars moving picture appear more naturalistic .
