The Escapist

Game of Thrones Dragons!

My Masquerade entry from San Diego Comic Con.  The dragons were made by myself at Komickrazi studios and my friends Silver and Wolfish from Furr happens.

A Fun collaborative project which proved a lot of challenges, but the end results are fabulous.

We won the David C. Copley Award for Most innovative costume at the Masquerade.

I figured that I would put up a photoset of the progress of my Dragon Loki instead of letting the WIP photos float around my computer for all of eternity. I would have included a page of the original design sketches, but most of them are either lost among ten foot stacks of other sketches in my room, or not worth the effort it takes to put them up.

1. Design sketches, material decisions, color picking, etc (this specific picture was arranged so that I could show people what I was planning to work on. I loosely used the image in the middle of it when I was looking for materials)
2. Shaping of upholstery foam base and glove base.
3. (My personal favorite stage and photo) Addition of tail and horns; posing with suit on to see how everything works together in terms of shape and overall look.
4. Everything finished except for detailing and cleaning up (Eyes, dreadlocks, reinforcement of the teeth, and scales are not yet complete). Getting to this stage involved tons of pattern-creating, improvisation, sewing, and copious amounts of hot glue.
5. Complete!

This son of a bitch needs eyes and I’m so tired of failing at casting resin so if any of you know a cheap, easily available alternative (or a resin that’s better than regular crafting resin) I’m all ears.

Anyways, he’s practically done with the exception of dry or airbrushed details on the face, the eyes, and whether or not I want him to have dreadlocks on the back of his head.
