This is a short walk around video showing this gigantic bulldog mascot. A little more buffing, polishing, and sealing and this beast will be ready to go to its new home to begin its watch!

Giant Bulldog Model Sculpting
Large Stylized Horse Head Mascot
Recently completed foam carving covered with synthetic stucco making a very durable statue for outdoor placement. Overall size is 43.5" long x 36.5" high x 12" wide. Weight is approx. 40 lbs.
This one of a kind mascot statue can be utilized as a mustang, bronco, or stallion mascot statue and can be painted any color over the finished white.
For more info about this piece you can check out my Etsy shop and SnarlingCrow Studios shop online.
Large American Bulldog Mascot Underway
Because I normally only show my finished mascots I'm often asked how I get my mascot sculptures to their final finish. So, in response to this often asked question, I'm showing during this and the last posting, the mascots while they are going thru their foam sculpting phase where I'll block out their basic anatomy while trying to get the pose that I'm looking for. Most of the time, I'll end up adding and subtracting foam many times until I'm ready to go to the next fabrication phase. Pictured above the rough-in phase with the chainsaw and files are almost complete on the model. This is a fairly large sculpture with the overall length at approximately four feet. Once I get what I want the clay will be applied as I prepare for the final sculpting/fabrication.
Here is the face after refining the clay sculpt. The collar has been beefed up and detailed. Now to the rest of the body.
Final Detail Foam Carving On Gigantic Bulldog Mascot
The Dawg has come out of his house for awhile. I built this building a few feet away from my main shop a few months ago especially with large mascot fabricating in mind. It allows me to enjoy the nice sunny days and when it gets rainy or cold I just go inside and walk around on platforms. I'd much rather be out in the open with the sunshine though!
What a beautiful and kind face!
Making a few detail cuts with an electric chainsaw.
Doing the same detailing again. Just in case you might be wondering what's that thing protruding from the dog collar under the jaw ... it's a small crowbar that I use to attach to the stainless steel armature tubing that comes out there so that I can wheel the dawg in and out of his temporary house.
I'm doing a little filing with a stainless steel microplane cutter. This model has already been scanned and CNC'd to give me the primary form from which I'll work from as the fabrication/sculpting/detailing phases progress.
