BAWKtober Day 10 - It Clucken Wimdy!

Showgirl chicken, standing defiantly in these blustery conditions. No, seriously. Windblown chickens look hilarious.

Refined the sketch just a tad.

Tried out some mixed media thing and used my copics for shading this time. And some acrylic markers to make the red pop more.

Her name was Lola, she was a showgirl....and a chicken.

Rough showgirl sketch based on a chickem.

For the Whump Wheel prompts: Agent Carter and forgetting to eat

Thank you for the prompt! :D

Have some post-canon Jack and Daniel.

It wasn't that Daniel had planned to skip dinner. It was just… well, with Peggy back in New York for the week, dinner had become once again the depressingly solitary affair that it had been when he first moved out to California. At some point, he’d pry himself out of his stack of paperwork and take a walk down to the diner that did a brisk late-night business with the showgirls on this street, but then there was a call in from Washington about their upcoming budget meetings, and he got derailed from his case files trying to dig out the last three years worth of budgetary reports that had, as it turned out, gotten destroyed when the pipes burst in the record room last May.

Rose shooed him out of the records room around ten, and he settled himself behind his desk to try to decipher Martinez’s appalling chicken-scratch by the flickering light of his desk lamp, and by the time he emerged from his stack of files, blinking and out of sorts with hunger gnawing at his stomach, the clock on the wall read half-past twelve, which meant that the diner was definitely closed.

Daniel groaned, slumping back in his seat. He tugged his desk drawer open—sometimes, he’d stash snacks in there and then forget about them. Rose was always after him for tempting fate and a rodent infestation, and they’d probably be stale by now, but it would be better than nothing.

Empty, of course. Daniel let out another deep sigh. His leg twinged as he pulled himself to his feet. There was nothing for it; he’d have to scout around for an all-night place, and probably get a car too. His leg didn’t feel up to walking any distance.

There was a knock at the door. He looked up.

“Burning the midnight oil, Sousa?” Jack asked lazily, leaning against the doorframe and doffing his hat. “You look like someone just hauled you out of an open grave.”

“Nice to see you too, Jack,” Daniel retorted acerbically. In a better mood, he might enjoy sparring with Jack, batting his barbs back at him with a fresh edge. But he was exhausted and hungry and just generally out of sorts, and he couldn’t put any real energy to it.

“Better be. I come bearing gifts,” Jack said, and hefted a takeout bag.

“You…what?” Daniel said, wrong-footed.

“Food, Sousa. Christ. When’s the last time you ate?”

As he spoke, he came into Daniel’s office and started unpacking his bounty right on top of the stacks of files. Daniel opened his mouth to protest this, then shut it again. He could smell fresh bread, and beef in gravy, and his stomach gave an embarrassingly loud rumble.

“Yeah, that’s what I thought,” Jack said, and pressed a paper-wrapped sandwich into his hands.

Prompt me some whump!

[gravehags]

this is hazel btw. she’s 13 months old and loves shredded chicken and the taste of human flesh. got her last october, a month after i lost my beloved dog cooper and i believe with my whole heart he’s controlling her 12.4 lb body and mind from the afterlife. i have another cat, marilyn, who is incredibly beautiful and possessed by the ghost of an old showgirl. it’s harder to take pics of her because most of the time she looks at me with such haughty disdain i simply wither away.

anyway that’s my cats

I'm officially taking my sister's showgirl silkie cockerel billie so... adding to my collection for extremely silly chickens very shortly

I want to dress up as the swan from the movie The Other Sister or as one of the birds from Henny Penny episode from Golden Girls. The problem is, I have no idea how to even start making either. How were they able to get the shape for the body and be able to get in and out of it?

(Full disclosure, I haven't actually seen either of these, so I'm basing my recommendations on what screenshots I could pull up with an image search on airport wi-fi.)

There are actually a lot of options for creating a shaped body structure, depending on your budget and skill level. The lowest-budget option would be a shapeable wire mesh like hardware cloth, sculptural armature mesh, or even chicken wire (you'll want to wear heavy-duty leather work gloves to work with any of these; cut wire edges are sharp!). Use heavy gauge wire or another rigid material to create a structural frame (around the edge, and to support the weight of the body), then cover that with the more flexible mesh so you can shape the "skin" however you want. You can then cover the mesh with fabric, fusible felt, or thin EVA foam and attach the surface treatment (feathers, etc.) to that layer.

Going back about 15 years 😅 this is how I made my Archangel Michael wings, shown below as a WIP. The wire mesh pockets fit over the articulated PVC frame, with heavier (~10 ga.) wire ribs supporting the bell shape. These wings were much simpler and didn't require compound curves like the swan body would, but the principle is the same.

If your budget is a bit higher, you could also consider materials such as Worbla's Kobracast Art, FossShape, or Celastic, which can be heat-formed and fused to fabric to create a seamless structure that needs no covering. These materials are a bit more sophisticated and look more professional, but they can be quite expensive over large areas, so they are more commonly used for costumes that need to be able to travel and remain durable (e.g. for theatre or a cosplay competition) rather than a one-off costume (e.g. for a Halloween party). You know best what your budget and costume purpose are, so choose whichever material best suits your needs and skills!

As for getting into/out of it... The Other Sister is actually a pretty simple design, as far as that goes. It's a one-piece step-in costume -- the actor's legs go through a hole in the bottom, and then it's pulled up around her hips as a single unit. It's supported by suspenders that (probably) attach to structural crossbars inside the frame, maybe with an additional stay somewhere to keep it from rotating around the actor's body. The Golden Girls one is more complicated, as it was made long enough ago that it would have used more traditional methods and materials. It's likely built with a combination of boning, buckram, steel wire, and padded fabric rolls attached to a boned corset/bustier for support (similar to the support structures for things like Vegas showgirl backpieces). There's probably a base garment that the various parts of the outer costume attach to. That's not to say you couldn't simplify it in your version, though! Lots of new materials have been invented in the past 40 years, so we have more versatile (and lighter weight) options now.

If you want to go really hog wild with this concept, you might also want to look up some tutorials for Gwendolyn from Odin Sphere. I've seen some phenomenal swan-body shapes come out of that cosplay community! And for additional structural support recommendations and patterning guidance, the fursuit/mascot building communities also have a lot of great resources and tutorials.

Good luck! :)
