Concept: The school mascot at San Jose State University is the Spartan. The logo for the Animation Illustration club is the ShrunkenHeadman (of the ShrunkenHeadman Club, no less!). I blended the two for the costume exhibition Halloween 2014.

This Was a fairly quick project, it only took me two days, so there are no production pictures. Just a cool roar shot after the break!

Note: The Xacto-Knife spear is also made from a foam noodle. And bent floppily right before the costume contest, which is why I'm holding it up high.


BostonCon 2014: Game Of Thrones Iron Throne Armor




Concept: The Iron Throne from the Game of Thrones (based on the HBO television show)


The Original Daleks




Concept: Personal Nerf Warfare Tanks, designed as crossover Doctor Who Daleks and Other Characters (First two, Hawkeye and Deadpool)

Inspiration: Originally when my roommates ambushed my other roommate and I with Nerf guns, I was just going to build simplistic Nerf tanks to show those peeps what was what. Of course, Avengers having recently been released and my obsession with Hawkeye solidified, I decided quickly that the tanks should be character themed. I would take Hawkeye, and my roommate would have his obsession realized in Deadpool, both characters from the Marvel universe of comics and movies.

While starting to build I was home frequently during midday, so my design time was often done whilst watching Doctor Who marathons on the BBC, so naturally the ideas blended together with what seemed to be the perfect personal tank-like creature around, the eternally creepy Daleks.

As shown in the picture I made two Tardis shields as well for the roommates we were surprising with our tank ambush. I'm not heartless, after all.
