Anyway, I'm sure you're wondering what this thing looks like right? Well, the plan for it is to end up something like this:
The head will be perched on top of mine, hopefully with a mechanism to open and close the jaw based on my own movements; I'd love to get animatronic eyes but i don't know enough about coding to feel confident in attempting it, and I'm also worried about noisy motors breaking the illusion. The body is padded using upholstery foam, and will be covered in a few different types of faux fur; the wings and tail fan are in progress now and made of fabric interfacing supported by a wire 'quill'. Here's some pics of what I have so far, though note that the pictured head is being remade:
I don't have the prettiest or most spacious workspace, which has been a limitation on what kind of materials I can use; a lot of things with toxic vapors like spray paints or adhesives just aren't an option, so a lot of my questions will likely be regarding alternatives. I'm also open to suggestions and resources regarding additional puppetry or 'animation' I could incorporate, as the more life I can give this thing the better; tips for eyes would be the most obvious, but I've also considered adding articulation to the hands and claws.
So, any tips, questions, or encouragements are welcome; this project has been ongoing for many years now and I'd like to finally get it done, but I'm only one person trying to put together all the information and techniques I've found into one big experiment. I don't know if it's going to work, but I'm going to do my best to share it here with all of you.
Hi RPF! I've stalked these boards on occasion, but I've finally made an account and thread all my own for the titular project--a full-body costume of a raptor dinosaur, Deinonychus. It's intended to be as accurate as possible within the limitations of my artistic skill and human form, and I hope one day that I'll not only be able to live my childhood dream of running around pretending to be a dinosaur, but perhaps doing educational appearances for museums and such as well. Every dinosaur paleontologist I've shown my mask (the only finished part so far) has loved it, and I'm sure once the whole thing is done it'll make quite an impression. But it hasn't been without its challenges and puzzles, so I hope some of my questions can be answered by helpful folks here.Anyway, I'm sure you're wondering what this thing looks like right?
