So, this is what I've been working on for a few days now. It took a total of about maybe 3 - 4 hours? Can't remember. I had to braid the chin hairs and add individual beads to the hair in general, I had to paint that damn coin silver cuz it was gold but it was the perfect size and shape so hell, why not. I had to bake that damn white thing on his hair (does anyone even know what it is in the movie?!). Had to cut out LOTS of yarn for his hair and glue it on piece by piece (as in a few strands a few strands, etc.) That's a piece of cloth on his head like a bandanna and I had to hand paint his eyes cuz the original duck was blue eyed. All in all, he came out FANTASTIC and I'm quite proud. He's also 10" tall >.<. Saw the duck at Wal-Mart and my friend Loritza insisted that I make a giant Jack Sparrow out of him. I bought two ducks, one for this Jack and one for Sailor Moon. I'm not done with her yet, need a few more pieces. I'm going to raffle them off at Megacon and see how much I get for them. It's risky but I'm only making tickets $2 a pop so who wouldn't want a chance to win this at $2? It's COOL!! Come on... isn't it?
Update: He's been sold. LONG LONG ago. Not long after I made him back in 2008. Just felt like updating this. Also, I never did make the Sailor Moon duck, just FYI. But now they're dragons! (updated 11/11)
Actually years after I did this lol, I found out that it's like a long shell or something ocean-y like that But I'd like to think that Jack could take on a giant porcupine lol.
i still like the duck its me the guy on stilts from megacon i hope that the help i gave u guys made a lot of money for u it was realy fun hope to see u guys next year hopfuly if i go but as what?(P.S. i cant spell and dont make scense all the time)
Ah! Good to hear from you. Yes, you were a big help, we really appreciated it! Though apparently we made some of the other artists mad (they called me from Megacon lol) and so if we go next year we'll be in a different section selling our bags and stuff...not sure if I'll go, didn't make as much this year as in other conventions. I'm not sure what you could go as but the stilts thing worked out...OH! you could be a giant pocky stick? that would be FUNNY! and possibly really easy to make too.
LOL! A tall larger man who bought 5 tickets. He really wanted it for a friend so I offered to make one for him if he didn't win it. But he did, so oh well.
Aw, it came out really awesome, hon! Work well spent. As for the thing in his hair, I believe it's a smooth and flattish piece of bone, like a bone folder used in book making (Only much skinnier in Jack's hair). Without looking at the original guy right now, I think that's my impression of it.
