Vince Dorse, an illustrator friend of mine, who has done some designs for Run Red Run before, got together with me to create a feltie of the Bigfoot character from his award-winning comic, Untold Tales of Bigfoot (it won a Reuben!). This week is the one-year anniversary of the comic’s debut, so he wanted to celebrate by commissioning this feltie. Untold Tales of Bigfoot has a great story, fantastic art, and it’s an all-ages comic, so it’s safe for the kids to read! Read it from the beginning here!
The Bigfoot sculpture stands at an impressive 21 inches tall –my biggest feltie so far!– and he has a strong armature to pose him and help him stand. I used merino wool for his fur and Felt Alive Flesh Tones from needlefeltingsupplies.com for his skin.
I had a blast sculpting bigfoot and working with Vince to get Bigfoot’s 3D version looking like his 2D design! Make sure you go over to the gallery to see the shots of Bigfoot in the wild!
