It's been almost five years since Adam made his bear costume to walk through Comic-Con, and the suit is in dire need of repair, refit, and refurbishment. It's an opportunity for Adam to completely rebuild the one part that's never quite satisfied his original design--the bear's head. So it's time to get the bear suit out of storage and make a whole new headpiece for it, turning Adam's original sketch into a full-formed and fur-covered animatronic head!

I agree with your initial statement. When I heard Adam the first layout was too big, I thought it was just right, especially for the type of “grizzly bear “ appearance he seems to be going for. He ended up with a really nice Disney style bear, but I don’t think that is what he wanted.

As someone who makes fursuits on the regular, to get that clean and realistic look, you gotta preshave your fur before sewing it, then shave after as well to clean up. Also, adding expoxy sculpt for eyelids and lips really makes stuff look less teddy bear and more alive.

And he needs to make a "paste" from actual gum (the tree) chewing gum and a metric shitton of graphite powder, and "blend" that paste into the snout, where the bear (like a lot of animals, but especially predators) has a lot of "worn" leather. Personally, i would've died (somehow??) the fake fur's base into a black/dark color.

For future headwear projects, instead of a “Hard Hat”, look into Bump Caps. They are more form fitting and smaller around than the typical hard hat. They are more like an industrial baseball cap

@ojdotts 3 жыл бұрын

Without the ratchet closure (or Adam's "clicky-click"😄) to tighten them to the head bump caps tend to have a looser fit. Having said that a combination of the plastic shell from a bump cap + the head harness with ratchet (removed from a safety helmet) could give a less bulky starting point. It's given me food for thought so thank you. I have a head harness similar to the one in the helmet Adam shows, but it alone lacks the rigidity to use in a build I'm planning.

Reminds me of the bear from Bear in the Big Blue House 😍 used to love that show as a baby so this is nostalgic. Also he could make the fur more realistic by dying the fur a darker colour. You can do that with a spray gun and watered down fabric dye.

@jontaylor8447 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, the bear is cute as hell. I think a couple of things contribute to the cuteness: #1 has to be the shape of the head and size or visible size of the eyes. The first iteration had a fiercer gaze. #2 has to be the color of fur Adam chose. It's blonde and light. Grizzlies are dark brown and black bears are black. Polar bears are white and look adorable but in reality will rip your face off. #3, the head is very round. It doesn't look like it has a skull so much as it looks like a stuffed animal. #4 the jaw, though effective, adds to the cartoony nature because it makes the bottom of the head even rounder. Maybe if Adam made some jowls hang down by sewing some fur together?

Lots of artwork, crafting, all the costumes are handmade, some have electronics like sound reactive lighting and smoke effects, there's always a dance contest and panels on animals in popular culture or special effects or anything creative and potentially creature related. plus, no one would ever suspect who's in the suit.

@thomaslevy2119 3 жыл бұрын

To me, Adam's "bear" head looks more like a harbor seal's head (without fur attached). Depending on species, a bear's head is larger, more blocky, and less rounded. But it's my opinion. That, plus $5.00, might get you a cup of coffee.

@Ziz62266 3 жыл бұрын

Adam - when you held up the pic of the real bear it showed what you need to do to make him a little more menacing. Airbrush some black and brown around the eyes, make them a bit "angry" in the way you shade the brows and bags.

I can tell that he’s as much explaining to the audience how the face ended up the way it did as much as he’s trying to convince himself he’s ok with it. I don’t think he’s happy with the final result… the evidence being that the final chunk of the build is really glossed over and there’s not many close ups at the end to show what it really looks like. The main thing to me is the neck looks too long and slender. Maybe recess the hard hat further up inside?
