A summary of the week of June 26 - July 2, 2017
June hit me link a truck - or at least a surprisingly heavy bicycle. And now it’s over and the workshop looks like it exploded some, but I think I’m starting to get my feet under me again. During May and early June, both of my helpers (my husband and my mom) suddenly/accidentally started a thriving gardening business - it was exciting, but it meant that I alone had to suddenly shoulder the workload of three people. Messes were made. Projects fell behind schedule. Email answering went completely out the window. Luckily, planting season ended in mid June, so I have help again! I feel like the workflow is starting to return to normal as of this past week - including a concerted effort on my part to get caught up on emails. I am not caught up yet, though, so that effort will continue this week.
As for the costume projects we’re working on: the black demon wolf is our current big task. This guy will be a fully NFT suit with muscle suit, and an articulated tail, and some massive claws. He is set to premiere at the San Diego Comic con which is in about 2 weeks! We’ve made some good progress, but there is still a lot of work left.
Last week we finished all of the muscles for the muscle suit and started attaching them to the suit base. We also built the feet, and started furring them (they are not trimmed and they look hilarious) - and the tail is finished!
We also finished this custom tail and gloves for the Tiger Rahier head we sold back in April:
Head Cannon (the mostly-NDA group of 13 animal heads) is still in progress, but is very temporarily set aside while we finish the wolf demon. Very early this past week we had a project review and got some ideas/suggestions that will hopefully speed up the project - so I am excited to get back to those heads and put some new ideas into action! Hopefully that will happen in a week or two.
