For my inaugural RPF thread, I figured my Groot build for Halloween would suffice. With HurleyFX and Calen Hoffman (of Propcustomz) serving as major inspiration.
Here are some mask sculpt progress pics.
My first time sculpting anything! I think I'm doing okay. It will eventually be cast in latex.
Like others, for the suit, I'm covering a morph suit in pipe insulation. Despite what people have suggested, I'm going the full morph suit route. It'll be tough to get into/out of, but I feel it'll give a better flow to the whole suit.
As for the stilts...
Secured an old pair of snowboard bindings to these homemade stilts. Adds about 13 inches to my 6'2". (And the mask will add another 6" to my head?) I'm in the process of sculpting upholstery foam around the boots/stilts that'll taper up around my knee to give it a good trunk/roots effect.
I've got big plans for the hands, too! That's all still experimental, though.
