Games Day 2011 Costume

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/gamesday-2011-costume • Posted by Debbie Michelle P.

After deciding what costume I wanted to create for gamesday, the first thing I decided to create was the pelt my beastman would be wearing. At this stage I had studied several wolf pictures to see how the head was shaped and started to carve it out of foam. Once happy with the overall shape, I sculpted clay muscles to look as if it was snarling and cast resin eyes. I also sculpted the nose and created texture my painting over in black tinted rubber latex which was then brushed over with lace to give a dimpled effect. Also due to the scale of my main costume the wolf head has been upscaled so once compared with the costume it wouldn't appear tiny. This also fits in with the history of the beastmen and that they share their territories with dire wolves.
