PUPCAKE 2.0 2013
Disclaimer: I only made the head. The body was made by Fur It Up
This is my first Pupcake head though the commissioner already had a costume head made by someone else. To the left if the consept for the head. The client wanted something a bit toonier than their original costume so my goal was to exaggerate the the shapes with her. The hair ended up being taken out due to the head size and the wig piece being too slippery to stay out of the eyes. Some of the longer fur was scrapped as well since the budget was too small for buying the more expensive longer furs.

PROCESS
The head was completely sculpted from upholstery foam which was then furred with luxury grade furs. The nose is made of fleece and the eyes were made with buckram lined with fun-foam, later replaced with plastic styrene for strength. This was my first head to feature "movable ears" which has two wires inside the floppy ear. The tongue was made from fleece and is removable with velcro.
