It's all just mocked up to check general placement. The inside of the ear is gonna be white fur. Still a long way off.
Been making quick little paper towel template-patterned pieces and making sure the piece is the right way with the direction of the fur before cutting it out. Didn't have to worry about fur direction with the long red stuff.

I was worried he'd look like a fox. Luckily triangular ears and nose are universally "kitty".



The head was a tight little foam sculpt I literally had lying around. The jaw was long gone, so I added one, padded out jowels and sculpted the front to be a little more cat-like.
The nose was a black teddy bear eye I carved up with a hot blade combining my love of fire, knives and sculpting. The teeth were gonna be claws for a monster plushie I was gonna make, and the eye is one of the knobby bits on the bottom of a plastic bottle I loosened up with heat and just kinda shaped into a cat eye. At one point I considered taxidermy eyes but meh, hand made looks more plushie.

I think I'll make legs for this one cause he's gonna be small and would look better sitting on things instead of behind. I'm gonna try to make a tail for him but if I can't make it sit up and curl like I want cause of the weight of it, I'll make him tail-less.

That's all really.

 

In other news, I finally saw 'Monsters Versus Aliens' and although small in scope [there's like what, 6 scenes in the whole thing] and it's way too short, there were some decent jokes, fun romp, great music, punchy and moves along nicely. A decent Dreamworks movie? Well suck me dry and call me dusty.
Luckily there weren't many quiet, slow paced scenes, which are way too animated. It's like every characters in a dreamworks movie has parkinsons. But anyway, it's good enough to distract me from how much I dislike CG movies. Wish I had seen it in 3D though.

Seriously, is Han Solo the only character who didn't get some stupid interwoven backstory in the new movies?
I feel bad for Boba Fett, ruined with such a stupid backstory, in the new movies. He went from 'Quiet, Cool, Badass character' to 'a New Zealander'. Then again R2-D2 could fly. Was it ever explained in any of them why he later couldn't?

( More of this kinda thing..... )

Patiently waiting for death.
 

I don't know where I saw this girl.

( Couple more.. )

Well, after much slow progress, he's finally completed. Very minor things to do here and there, but he's essentially finished.
I still have enough fake fur to make another one. It's crappy fur though. I need to invest in the more expensive furs for my next endeavor.



( More pics, of course. )

All glued in and pretty much good to go for the fur.
 

Once again, scuse the rough likeness.
 

I have alwas hated him, will always hate him, can't understand how anyone can like him, and I hope he dies a horrible painful, slow death the arrogant stupid fuckwit.

So.. how you guys doin?

It's friday night and instead of watching 'Sweet Home Alabama' for a thrid time on tv, I decided to make this out of masking tape.
I used to do this as a kid. You sweat it off, but I did it too tight and couldn't get my hand out.. It was at that point I realised it was a stupid thing to do.  It's easier to sweat out of it if your palm is open.
