Rocket Raccoon Costume from Guardians of the Galaxy!!!
I made this as my son’s Halloween costume. This was my first costume build.
Some of the supplies.
Hand-painted eyes using glass beads.
The donor mask, which I used as a shell.
Sculpting new features.
Trying it on with the new nose, lips, teeth and eyes.
The fur looked more like a werewolf before it was painted.
The initial mask didn't have a back, so I added one.
After hand-painting the fur.
One of the donor guns, before paint and modifications.
The guns after paint and mods.
The donor "feet."
After handmade claws and fur.
I added real badger claws to some gloves and then covered them with fur and painted them.
The pattern for the backpack.
Backpack and shoulder pads formed using rubber mats.
I painted a plastic dome and put a light inside.
I wasn't happy with the sleeves being so wide but I ran out of time.
I used a vintage Boy Scout belt and ammo pouches for his belt.
