Mascot head for Midlands Metal Heads.

Midlands Metal Heads are a music promotion company based in the Midlands. They are always at any big rock festival/event giving out business cards and interviewing band members which is aired on their radio shows. Each night of the week one of their many DJs have a few hours of Air time to promote local bands or even well-established bands. They put on many gigs and events throughout the year and are always trying to recruit more people to their ever growing team.

I was asked to make a mascot head of their Minotaur logo that can be worn at their events or festivals they attend to help catch peoples eye and make them stand out.

The structure and details are all solely made from plasterzote. Plasterzote is a very durably, light weight and high density foam. Glued with a contact adhesive which makes it super strong. Then covered with fur that I trimmed and painted.
As the budget was very low I used fur that I already had. It was as long as the mane all over and I trimmed it back. In some light it is more orange than I would have liked. I did paint on to it to darken the eyes, give more detail and dull down the shorter fur.
The last thing I did to ensure a comfortable fit was to put a weight under the mane at the back to counter balance the snout.
