Happy Halloween!

Finally had a moment to do a proper photoshoot for my Rocket Raccoon costume! :) I already know I’ll be tweaking and editing this til kingdom come, but after working on it obsessively for a couple months, I’m ready to take a break and do other things during my off time.

Every part of this costume is made by hand, nothing was outsourced. Even the prison uniform I created from scratch with my own patterns. Rocket was a total labor of love, and what I would consider to be my first successful attempt at realism. I’m quite a ways off from wanting to offer realistic style as commissions, this project really was challenging! I had to step back from it several times and consult my reference pictures and ask for critiques to get me back on track.

Anyway, if you want to see closeups of the head, I posted them a while ago here: http://lobitaworks.tumblr.com/post/100441438456/rocket-raccoon-head-finished-this-is-my

I’ll be taking a few more pictures tomorrow, including closeups of the hands and feet, which are actually rather detailed.

This costume is not for sale, and I do not share or sell patterns. LobitaWorks is closed for large orders til 2015, but we are always happy to take on small orders (ears on a headband, tails, gloves, etc). Feel free to drop an email for a price quote on small orders: lobitaworks@gmail.com
