An update? Surely not!
Went out on Wednesday to evening to see a show called Ghosts Stories up in London and I have to say it was fantastic. Really nerve jangling at points. They used some very clever tricks that ratcheted up the creep factor.
Thanks muchly to Zuki for recommending!
EF fast approaches, and still quite a bit to do. Both suits that I plan on taking are in the shop atm undergoing repairs and upgrades which are actually going quite well and should be on track for completion before we leave.
I'm doing a major overhaul of the hyena's neck that should allow me to greatly improve the range of motion. If it works that is.
The hyena is very obviously Joker themed, and the new green mane is looking good (although not quite as crazy looking as the previous one) and I should hopefully be installing that this weekend.
The problem is I've gotten too good at making them :P The first one was made in a rush with only a very rough idea of how it was going to work. I've had quite a bit more experience with making them now, and it's looking a bit too polished for its own good. I'm sure I'll sort something out.
The changes to the neck mean that I'm essentially attaching the head to the body via pieces of elastic and using the same green hair I've used on the mane to provide a fringe to cover the gap that will appear when I move the head around. I'm undecided at this point as to whether the fringe will look right, but after a rough laying out I think it will look OK, we shall have to see. If it looks rubbish I'll either try something else or just sew it solid and work on it another time.
The face paint will be getting a polish and a touch up to fill in a few gaps as well.
Quatermane will be getting a nose job, a slight refinement on his rifle, and some new, more impressive looking, scars. I had planned to do a significant overhaul on the rifle, however I doubt this will happen now due to time constraints. It's OK as-is, but there's always room for improvements.
