I finished this last week, and didn't really have time to post about it here, because I immediately packed it up and took it off to CostumeCon. I just got back, and have already found a few of the photos taken at the convention. So I thought I'd share. This is my largest and most ambitious sewing project yet, and I'm very pleased with how it came out.

Photos from the convention start there, on page 3 and continue on to page 4. The previous pages mostly have construction progress photos.

Fri, May 2, 2008 - 11:05 AMOh yes.
I start sweating buckets the minute I get the head on, and by the time I've been in it ten minutes the undersuit is completely soaked through. It's got about half an hour of wear time before I'm too hot and dehydrated to go on, so it's really just a stage costume, no parades or anything in this!

What kind of paint did you use for the body markings? -

Sun, May 4, 2008 - 12:11 PMI used an spirit based leather dye actually. It's very watery, so it doesn't gum up the fur.
