Comment on Meerkat Mask by merimask
Hahaha - I bet the small ones are called meerkittens! 
In Swedish, a meerkat is called "surikat" from the Latin name suricata suricatta. This has been your daily "I Didn't Know That"-announcement. 
You really captured the shape of their little faces in this mask. I'm not sure about the colours, though - I'm sure you've done your research properly and all that, but AFAIK (and judging from all photographs/video I've seen), the meerkats tend to be a bit more yellow-grey - this one tends more towards a reddish-brown tone. Of course, this could be due to the lighting in the photo, or perhaps I've been looking at the wrong variation of meerkat (there has to be regional variation in colouring, right?).

Aha, jag visste inte att det var surikater! Jag trodde det var ett annat djur!
Translation: Aha, I didn't know it was "surikat"s! I thought it was a different animal.

Meerkittens! Too cute. 
I'm not sure, I found a lot of pictures where they looked sandy, brownish-gray...pretty much dirt colored. Their backs are darker/more colorful but their faces & bellies are mostly pale and sooty. I agree I think it might be a bit too brown...not enough gray tones in the dark coloring around the ears and eyes.

Ah well - it's still a good-looking mask as it is. You can always play a bit with colours if you make any more of them in the future.
