Dragon Head Puppet Pattern?

[Frogpuppeteer]

so i am wondering if anyone can steer me in the right way to find something that could work...i am building a Charizard puppet/costume from pokemon for convenions...but i am doing him Big Bird Style..my right arm is his head while my body serves as his own...anyways im racking my brain trying to think of a way i can start the head...if anyone can steer me in the right direction or has advice here is a picture of his head so you can see

I saw charizard, so I had to come

Have you seen this guide on making a cosplay costume?

I know it's for a mask, but it could help give you an idea looking at the pictures of how the head should be shaped.

THANKS! that actually helps a little, like you said its a mask but i can modify it to be the puppet head...funny if anyone has seen my ninja turtle Suit my feet are kinda made the same way...ill have to post a pic of it
