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.
