I do a lot of fantasy taxidermy art and I will state firmly that I could produce that piece for under 10k. 85K is absurd. There is huge difference between producing a static prop, and a complicated animatronic costume that must hold up to movement. On a static piece there is no need to hand layer or punch hair, which drives up the payroll hours on suitwork. The facial sculpting is basically obscured by the hairwork, though I’ll grant the hands are rather nice.

SHJ: “I might if it looked more like a sasquatch…the body looks good, but the head looks too much like a gorilla…”

But does anyone know definitely and unequivocally what a sasquatch’s head is supposed to “look like” (just my probably worthless AU$0.05 worth)?
