Updates!

The werewolf costume has been published in the new Best of Instructables book!

Many many thanks to Instructables.com for all of the love and attention this has brought.

The werewolf costume has now been retired due to wear and tear and the fact that it's a very hot and exhausting costume to wear. I am working on resurrecting my old demon costume right now which will make it's re-appearance at San Diego comic con 2009.

Thanks for following this blog! Please refer to my other blogspot site here: missmonster art at blogspot!

I found your blog through werewolf-news.com - amazing costume! Really phenomenal work, and congratulations on being published in the Instructables book, that's one hell of an achievement!

This is something you've probably already though of, or another poster has mentioned, but I figure I'll throw it out there anyway: Considering the issues of sweating and overheating in any costume - what about adapting a Camelbak (or similar hydration system) into the suit? The shape of the back leaves plenty of space to slip a 2-3L pack in there ander the fur, and the drinking tube can be run up the neck and directly into the jaw. It can even be made a permanent part of the suit - Camelbaks designed for the military allow the harness of the pack to remain attached to a large pack or body armour (or werewolf suit), while the reservoir and its pack are unclipped to allow cleaning (they also have the added bonus of having black tubes and bite valves for extra stealth).

Besides the obvious hydration issue, an added bonus of such a system is that - by adding ice to the reservoir - you've got a handy coolant system.

Cheers!
