Didn't quite have time to finish this in time for NYCC, so I'm coming out of lurking and starting a build thread to keep myself motivated to finish it during the off season!
I started making the beast in June, and currently all I have left to do is adjust some stuff with the stilts (mainly how my feet are strapped into the stilts, cause I'm not 100% happy with the way it is right now), finish the fur on the legs (although I'm thinking i'll redo the muscle suit on the legs entirely), finish punching the hair on the face, paint the horns, add the cuffs and make the jabot and lace cuffs of the jacket, sew on all the buttons and do the embroidery, and make the hands!
The stilts I made are based on this tutorial http://www.instructables.com/id/Werewolf-Stilts-digitigrade-legs/
The face prosthetic was sculpted on a very bad lifecast of myself, which resulted in me having to cut out and re-sculpt/replace the mouth like four times to make it so that it wouldn't look really really odd when i opened my mouth, and every hair in it is hand punched. The longer parts along the edges are all fake wig hair for weaves in a couple different colours, and the face is conditioned and straightened crepe hair in two different colours.
The muscle suit torso is a base eva foam shape, with eva foam and foam from an old mattress topper I had laying around on top, and it's constructed with elastic so that when the arms move, it pulls the muscle shapes in the back for realistic(ish) movement!
Next steps are to finish the hair on the face, finish making the clothing, make the hands, and then decide if i wanna restart on the legs (which I probably do)
I'll post more pics of the clothes (which are further along than these pictures show) once I get things set up at home again
