-TMP For being a cool guy and being cool about my mask when I found out he made a similar Princess Bride reference mask for the spy (I was nearly done when I found out about his)

Funny story on this one. I actually had this item on the backburner for near 2 years! Yeah I had the idea for this mask when I was just getting started workshopping! Anyways the idea was that I wanted to see a different kind of mask on the spy. I think this is a good compromise with the folks that want a maskless spy and those that want to maintain the mystery. (Like Valve)

Also for the record I wasn’t meaning to be referencing Princess Bride so hard. (Even though it’s awesome movie^^) The idea was to have sorta a generic mix of Zorro and the Dread Pirate Roberts and some other rogue bandits I have seen… But “The Dread Spyrate” has a nice ring to it. And the movie… Well that is a super cool story. Daesdemona asked if she could use my set for some animation practice as she’s starting to get into animating with SFM… A few weeks later she goes and surprises me with that very cool animation clip. So hell yeah I’m going to show the animation in the promo art! You rock Daesdemona!

Lastly This was submitted earlier this year in the spring. It kinda slipped under the radar as it was a dead time on the workshop. Some folks did comment however that this set would fit in well for Halloween as it was a little more out there for the standard Spy stuff. Kinda didn't want to do that as creators tend to get screwed over with the Halloween items but it looks like this year may be different as the Halloween items my be usable all year around. So here's Hoping!
