Woof!

Just some quick shots of the head at the moment. This a project that Adam, Spain and myself have been working on. Being that she is graduating from college next year we decided to work on a happy graduation present :). Guess who he is :P

Tested out a new way of doing eyebrows which I am very happy with. Fuzzy instead of flat, as eyebrows should be so will more than likely be doing this more often. An uneven expression, so he can show different expressions depending on how he is looking at the camera. And one floppy ear. One is static and cropped up top (which I should of brushed for the photos, oops) and the other ear bounces when the critter walks. This is the biggest snout/nose combo we have done for a suit. Basil's was big but this one beats it. The rest of the costume should be done soon enough and better photos will be taken.

The head actually fits me great, so I am going to keep it :P...I kid I kid. Actually you should love the vision on it as the snout does not kill the vision at all which is such a plus. Body will be done when you come back :D, and furrying of the paws ^.^

Awesome job Val:)

I do have a question, since this came up recently in the news, how does this escape Disney's copyright stuff? There was a couple that's sued and were court-ordered to send the suits in to be destroyed since (it wasn't because they were making money on it, they said it was because it was illegal characterization and the like). Or rather, did not want someone not contracted with disney portraying their characters.

There were a few articles on it, but I can't find the big ones. Here was one thing about it: http://www.themovieblog.com/2008/07/disney-sues-clowns-over-costumes

So I'm curious about how far fair use goes - especially if these costumes (obviously) are performance pieces meant to be viewed by the public.

I thought they were doing kids parties and charging for appearances. I dunno, if Disney wants it destroyed they can pry it out of Spain's cold dead fingers. We made a gift for/with a friend so as far as my understanding goes (which isn't total and complete) this is legal and Disney would have no reason to pursue the matter. But if they did we would comply without a fight :)

LOL I was waiting for SOMEONE in the fandom to do this. If no one was gonna do it, I was going to attempt so, but you would probably do better at it then me, of course. AND SO YOU DID <3333

LOVE IT

Suddenly I'm 5 years old again, freaking out over how badass Dodger is. This is fantastic.

Love, love, love those fuzzy eyebrows.

This is phenomenal! Disney should hire you to do their character costumes -- I remember Robin Hood, in particular, being pretty off-model when I saw him in the parks, and I know you could do a waaayy better job. Beautiful work! :D
