Firstly, I bought a polystyrene head and made a base to hold it; an aluminium pole allows the head to be easily rotated and picked up from the base. Using a bala clava for the base, upholstery/high-density foam is shaped and applied. The foam is drawn onto then cut with an electric carving knife. I used a scalpel and scissors to do finer cutting around the edges. Here is the progress so far:
After finishing the foam carving (more was added from previous shot), I made a pattern for the fur using muslin. After cutting the fur and roughly pinning it, with nose and eyes thrown on, it looks like this monstrosity:
Horrifying. Trimming the fur will make it a lot better.... Oh, and furring the ears, maybe.
