Description I had issued myself this challenge twice in the past, to test both skill and endurance, to see if I could produce a fully detailed top quality piece in under 24 hours. the first time I accepted was about 2 years ago, resultign in 18 hours of work and a rather simply designed black and white mask with basic following eyes. The second time I had failed, stopping at 6 a.m. and resting, resuming past the 24 hour mark.

This time though was a resounding sucess and by far one of the coolest canine heads I have ever created. Prior to the challenge the day before I created those pieces I knew that would make the challenge void unless created prior to the start date. Those pieces are:
LED resin following eyes
Hand cast resin teeth, hand painted
hand cast latex nose and tongue
balaclava hood
(all seen here: [link] )

I started 11a.m. yesterday afternoon via livestream and finished exactly 12 hours and 2 minutes later with some caffeine to burn and had the itchin to make a tail as well. I had never made a husky tail or any sort of curved tail but was willing to try. Drew up the pattern, cut out the fur, stitched it, stuffed it.... This truly was one of those suits that sort of, well, had everything just fall into place.

I can say it was quite invigorating to take this challenge but got reminded why makers don't push themselves so hard each time. It was taxing upon the mind and body both and I can easily say I burned myself out pretty good. I met my mark though as this fella is one of my best yet, I satisfied my curly tail cravings, and I'm ready to see what the next challenge my bring.

I'm not sure if paws will be included with this or not, it truly depends upon my queue in teh next week or so, but this guy will be up for sale shortly.

Wanna see a video of him in detail? Check it out here!
