Visited Universal last week for Halloween Horror Nights and was let down by the lack of fun merch for Krustyland. I figured, if the mouse can have hats with ears on it, so could Krusty.
my thoughts were then validated when I saw the below Bart plush wearing one! So, I decided to tackle this project as a challenge in both 3d sculpting and manufacturing, as I've never produced a hat before.
Here's the photo i'm referencing for inspiration:
What I'm basing my sculpt for the hair on:
What i'm basing my colors on (since Krusty has very varying colors used throughout the show:
My sculpt so far (it's been updated since this photo and prepped for 3d printing on Monday 10/23).
Base Hat (this is a happy medium i'm comfortable with for both the off-white/cream and the pink/orange/sometimes brown mouth color lol)
Here's a VERY CRUDE mocked up with the eyes/nose patch I designed ( i think each hair piece will be 7" in length)
I'll circle back once I have some in-hand tangible parts to mock up and refine.
Aiming to have this done by November.
