Examples of sewn bodysuit and foam and fiberglass head costumes:
All of these costumes were designed and built by
Larry Adams, a.k.a. Farallon Seal.
Left:
"Medicine Shield Rabbit" costume, shown by Farallon at CF7.
The construction picture (follow the link below)
shows the foam undersculpture for the head.
Center:
"ASPCA Mascot" (named "Fremont")
costume, created by Farallon for the ASPCA.
This sewn bodysuit features extensive padding to reshape the body to
achieve the semi-toon look of the ASPCA logo's dog. The construction
picture shows the individual components that had to be assembled to
create this costume. The head of this costume is constructed on a
fiberglass shell.
Right:
"Timon", Farallon's interpretation of the animated
character. This costume was shown by Farallon at CF6. Again, padding was
used to reshape parts of the body; this also shows that tails may be
attached to sewn bodysuits with no problem.
For a view of some of the work that Farallon has put into these
costumes, see the construction details page.
