Hey folks here is another quick update on some progress in the land of Rottenville. The nose I made the initial cutouts on since that’s where the viewing will be taking place from when the head is on the wearer. I want to keep the eyes beeeeedy and creepy so looking through the nose seems to be the best option. I made a test nose piece out of posterboard and latex and will mock up the viewing with it. I had a little black latex left over already mixed and ready to rock so it’s easy enough to make again and I’ll do the real one a dark pink but i’ll be using this one for testing different mesh coverings.

Also put up 2 pics of the tail. It has armature wire going through the entire length so I can give it that squiggly look that it so deserves! It’s going to end up being just under a foot long when coiled up. Done for now until I’m ready to make a mount for it but that should be no big deal…..

Onto the pics!!

Mascot Part Deux – Tail n Nose is a post from: Rotten Puppets

Well folks, what can I say. Not so soon after the mighty Wolfun is born we have another creation coming out of the workshop.. No name yet has been decided but it’s going to be a Pig-based character.. I say “Pig-based” because this design is very free forming.. Gloves, foot slip overs (this will help make it a one size fits all), a suit from the 70s from a local salvation army/thrift store, and the head piece. The snout has some nosehole reference points but that’s going to be the viewpoint for the wearer.. This way the pupils can have that beady pig look they so need. This should be a lot easier to build from a how much I have to do point of view but hey shit happens. Let’s hope for the best!

This character will also be 100% for Rotten Puppets. We’ve got some ideas up our sleeves for a couple shorts that should be a real treat! But being a RP character poses the question of what side is this Swine-Flu carrying Pig on?? (PFF?) Only time will tell but I’m sure Zibble will have something to say about it. Mascot/puppet confrontations are inevitable at this point they already ask about that big grey fella wandering around.

Not a lot of pics to show so far.. A simple shot of a sketch (yeah I know my drawing sucks, i’m not a sketch artist!!) and a quick shot of some features pinned up on the head form. Don’t mind the uneven appearance it’s just for the sake of keeping the parts somewhere while working on them!!

Wolfun and his gang hit the streets on Halloween and wandered their way into Lia’s Pizza.
Only in NY can a 6’4″ wolf stand on line, unmolested.

A legendary pizza joint now upping it’s customer base to include mascots, what more could one ask for.
Thanks to Lia’s as always for their awesome food and customer service. They are #1 for a reason!

Well our first mascot creation is born and walking the streets of NY. He’ll probably not be seen too often here on RP but you never know what will happen. Like they say, “Anything is possible with magic” so maybe we can cast a foam and fleece spell to return him to our universe for more fun and games….

Here are a couple pics from last night.. We have a great video showing you just how accepting New Yorkers are of different people coming up later tonight.. You can pick up dinner from a pizzaria and not a soul will flinch when you’re a 6’4″ comical wolf. They didn’t want to sell me the food @ first without knowing who it was but my minions assured them I was a regular (which I am).. At the end we showed him my ID and he got a good laugh realizing it’s that crazy guy who always comes in.

Anyways.. Here are a couple teaser pics, video later tonight when I’m back in the workshop.

Wolfun Is Born! is a post from: Rotten Puppets

Hey folks, here’s the next installment of my eventual online application to a rest home. Ears are completed, posable, and only require attachment once the head is furred. The claws came in from Grey Owl Crafts and they are great, thanks GO. So that meant I had to immediately fur a foot. And a pic is present! Clawed and then furred and clawed. Claws are removable if needed. Still a ton of haircutting left to be done to all pieces.

The nose has been getting layer on layer of latex and added some Mars Black acrylic to give it a nice rich color. It’s taking a while with the foam soaking it up but the pores are starting to all close up and rubberize now so the end in sight for the nose!

Then I thought it would be a good idea to make a torso piece. I didn’t want it huge and since a wolf is generally depicted as longer and lankier I went with just a shoulder pads setup inspired by attire in the Mad Max series of movies. Who rules Bartertown??? Lots of work left to do on that piece with shaping/foaming but I’ve started the latexing of RIBLETS!! That’s right you heard me, RIBLETS!! They look too raised now but the fur will be going around each one so it will end up looking really subtle.

Well that’s enough rambling on.. HERE ARE THE PICS!!!

First Mascot – Ears, more feet, and…. riblets?!?!??! is a post from: Rotten Puppets

Hey just thought I’d throw up a few more pics of what has been going on lately. Here are some shots of the feet I’m working on. Still a work in progress but that’s a given until the claws arrive Can’t be a clawless wolf now! Also starting the hands/forearm sleeve part. Need that same claw order to arrive for that too but I’ll get most of it done before they arrive anyways. Name is pretty much determined but we’ll wait to reveal that just yet. Things could change from now until completion. Check that fur out tho it’s thick and lustrous and is going to look killer as the main color.. Will be lots of black/brown detail work to go with it too. Okay enough of it, let’s see the pics!!

Feet do the body good!

Carve those footsies!

Feet feet everywhere

It's a hand job!

First Mascot – Continued to feet & starting hands is a post from: Rotten Puppets

Hey everyone. On 9/9/9 it happened. An idea struck. Why not have full sized characters too?

Here’s what I’ve done so far and I hope you like the pics. Ears have armature wire inside the entire ridge so they can be posable. Lower jaw also has a wire inside of it sandwiched between foam so I can adjust the angle of the lower jaw. I’m not making a moving jaw on this character, we’re going for the cartoony/mascot vibe to learn and adjust to these different techniques making something so much larger..

Onto the pics. I’ll post up more as I progress but here are some starter shots of the head, a work in progress.
