Giant fruitbat
Feb 28th, 2006 by hil
A large Fruitbat character for roving entertainment, made for The Fool Factory. The Fool Factory designed and developed the articulated wing mech, skeleton and the head animatonics, which included eyes mechs from Studio Kite. I incorporated both into the overall making of the character. The wingspan is 6-7 metres, and he stands about 7 feet tall.
The head has a fibreglass shell protecting the animatronics and eye mechanisms, with a fur covering.
