latex stuff progress

Cast the latex feet! I just pulled them out of the mold today, so they haven't been cleaned up or anything yet. Somehow the molds seemed to have got a little warped so they didn't fit together perfectly, so the seamline on these looks a bit nasty and pulled apart in some places. I also think the latex was cast a bit thin for feet, so I may try to slush a few extra layers in there.
I didn't think to get more photos of the process, but I did get this one pic showing the foam inserts I put in the pawpaws. It's a closed cell foam so it's somewhat firm under the wearer's feet.
Very quickly finding many things I want to change on these, and they are actually too big for me it turns out, so I'll probably make a 2nd version in the future.

I've also started printing the molds for the ears but ran out of resin so waiting on that. The face is almost done now (I think?) so I'll start making molds soon. Still ironing out the details on that, in particular, I've been unsure about the eyes. Wanted to go for having latex semi-cartoony looking eyes for it.
