Now that the he is with his new own I can post the super secret project I have been working on! Everyone's favor friend Falcor from the never ending story. He was a gift for a lady that I work with and was so much fun to work on. It's always fun to work on something that will be going to someone that will really appreciate and love what you made. He is about 7ft long and was made with faux fur, Sequins, poly fill, upolstery foam, fleece, ping pong balls, and clear ornaments. It was never my intention to make him so large or that he would be a puppet but here he is.

So I have a super secret project that I am just wrapping up that I will be posting in a few weeks but until then. I made a Totoro! He's so soft and snuggly. Sometimes it's nice to start and finish something in one afternoon. Luckily the person I made it for doesn't have fb so she won't see it before I can give it to her.

Some people have shark week but I have been in the middle of shark month. Just turned in a huge rushed mascot commission for a secret client. Unfortunately I was not able to get a pictures of him fully finished but the client said they will get some to me. Here is the shark! *cue jaws music*. Now on to the spooky part of October!

Yay last minute skyrim axe! Desided steel armor can not be worn without a weapon so here is my 3 day build. We did a test fitting of everything together last night but I'm keeping it a surprise for Saturday at Lansing comic-con. Made with pvc pipe, foam, faux leather and paints. This is version 1.0 as I had already started on a more game accurate version but didn't want to rush it to be done in time for the con.

Ok so by far the weirdest commission I've ever done and in a really quick time frame. I bring you giant tp hats. They're for a promotion for the drain commission at Mellon fest this weekend in Howell. I couldn't pass up the prospect of having these is the portfolio. Made from eva floormats, shop towels and a baseball cap for the base. Done in 3 nights.

Getting I'm the mood for halloween. Started working on my wedigo costume. No where near done. Still have to actually attach the ribs to the suits (two morph suits one inner and one outer with the foam padding in between).

☆please note, I have apparently lost the ability to make a normal face while taking pictures. Please enjoy a Jacko lantern in my stead. Since that would have been too scary for most audiences.

Well since I shared the wings yesterday here is the head and neck progress. I think I'm loving the name Smudge. Since he's a blind old dragon with sage wisdom and what do you do with sage but smudge your house. Let me know if you have any other name suggestions.
