Adam Savage's One Day Builds: Animatronic Bear Head!
363,896
Published 2021-05-26
It's been almost five years since Adam made his bear costume to walk through Comic-Con, and the suit is in dire need of repair, refit, and refurbishment. It's an opportunity for Adam to completely rebuild the one part that's never quite satisfied his original design--the bear's head. So it's time to get the bear suit out of storage and make a whole new headpiece for it, turning Adam's original sketch into a full-formed and fur-covered animatronic head!

this has such a "Bear in the Big Blue House" feel hahaha
-
Pro tip: use electric clippers to trim the fur at the seam allowances. This will make the seams less bulky and make them lay more flat.
-
I feel like his first drawing, which he deemed "too big", was probably about right. Bears have big heads.
-
As someone who makes fursuits on the regular, to get that clean and realistic look, you gotta preshave your fur before sewing it, then shave after as well to clean up. Also, adding expoxy sculpt for eyelids and lips really makes stuff look less teddy bear and more alive.
-
Sick fursuit, Adam!
-
When watching adam drawing the new bear head, I thought Adam really needs a a overhead projector to put his drawing on so it makes it easier to draw and scale. Still love that workshop and I help be inspired to build myself. Thank you Adam Savage you fellow Mad Man.
-
Some light dusting of dark paint around the eyes and mouth will help make it menacing 🙂
-
Please tell me I'm not the only one thinking in Bear and the big blue house
-
I feel like a lot of the menacing-ness comes from the color. Maybe if you airbrushed some darker streaks into the fur around the eyes and jaw it would feel a bit more threatening
-
I'm sure I speak for a lot of us who are way overdue and updating our bear costumes.
-
Like all things in nature, the cute factor comes from the eyes being big and far apart. If the eyes were smaller and closer together, it would be more menacing
-
Can't wait to see you at Anthrocon!
-
For future headwear projects, instead of a “Hard Hat”, look into Bump Caps. They are more form fitting and smaller around than the typical hard hat. They are more like an industrial baseball cap
-
Every time I watch Adam working on things, I always have the same thought "This man is a treasure" Thank you Adam for sharing your projects with us. It's always a joy to watch you work.
-
Is it just me or was it kinda magic how Adam was moving the bear's mouth? I love the cheekiness of the new bear mask actually mouthing out the words "...how am I gonna control the mouth of this thing... " :D
-
I always thought the old bear face looked a bit thin, he needed some CHEEKS
-
The bear looks like it belongs at Disney World as part of the Country Bear Jamboree!
-
Just me who thinks the original was a more realistic bear? Still a great build tho
-
I see you are taking your right to bear arms literally.
