2nd November 2011: For Sale I have had to make a hard decision, to sell my baby boy!
Unfortunatly money is tight at the moment, and I'm going to struggle making a new costume before I can sell another one.
For details on the features of the costume look at the information tab above.
If you are interested, would like more information or more photos please feel free to contact me on silantre@hotmail.co.uk
(I will at some point upload a video of how the costume moves)
2nd November 2011: Expo Success Fenris has finally made it out of the house and all the way to London!
I wore him in the evening on Saturday and the whole day on Sunday. Scaring small children has started to become a hobby of mine at expo! *cheeky grin* I love standing still and waiting for them to come close before roaring and haing my mum do the remote control snarl,,, priceless.
23rd October 2011: Revival of my Baby After re-finding myself I have re-found this costume and realised that the rush to get it finished within the three months for college meant that alot of corners were cut.
I'm delving back into my dear boy and giving him alot of touch-up's:
- Fixing the animatronics (as someone appears to have stood on his head while in storage)
- Finally sorting out the wings, although the mechanics to amke them move up and down also appear to have broken and unless I want to start again aren't fixable.
- Re-doing the tail so it stick out from the body giving it more relistic movement when walking
- Updating the paint job
- Adding chains and shackles to make the cosplay more fitting to the characters storyline. Also to help hide the joins in the costume.
- Giving him one hell of a grooming session to sort out his fur >.>
14th April 2011: Eyes I was origionally just going to have pure white eyes, using a white bin liner over a glass lense. However after playing around with some glue I found it dried, leaving an almost crystal look, so I decided to use this instead. Unfortunatly I can't seem to get a photo of how it acctually looks in person, but hopefuly the pictures give some idea.
13th April 2011: Teeth Spent about 2 days overall trying to get these teeth to look half decent.
I made them out of light air drying clay, meaning I didn't have to waste time casting them. The teeth were fixed into place using hot glue, which acted as a superb gum line around the teeth.
I made the tongue from spending hours putting layer after layer of latex together. Though it was worth it as the result is quite,,, tongue like, it's a little creepy infact, haha.
To give the mouth a wet look I added a pearl glaze to simulate saliva.
23rd March 2011: Problems Before Even Starting okay, so I have 2 months to make this beast.
I started the stilts a few days ago and finished what I thought would look good, however after taking the stilts into college my teacher pointed out the designs flaws. So with the first few days of constructing being a waste of time I am now back to square one.
However this could have been a blessing in disguise as a friend has shown me an even better, more realistic way to make quadsuit stilts. So I am starting again tommorow, and hopefully I can get this design to work. Luckily I hadn't spent too much money on the PVC piping stilt method, so I'm not too fussed.
