R-ALF the Cyberwolf at Confuzzled by tapewolf

R-ALF the Cyberwolf at Confuzzled

OK, so a few years ago I had this crazy idea of cosplaying as R-ALF, the cyberwolf in some of the Project Future stories. Canonically he is feral, but a cosplay would have to be anthro, so I did some tentative designs for an anthro cyberwolf, which can be seen here:

...anyway. Long story short, sofox got a 3D printer, and almost as a joke I suggested creating a cyberwolf fursuit head, figuring he'd laugh and say "no". But he didn't. And a few months later, with significant amounts of work from both him and me, R-ALF came to Confuzzled 2019. Thanks Sofox, it really turned out awesome!

Owing to time and sanity constraints, we only produced the helmet, which required a bit of work my end to finish it off, including padding (car wash sponges), the glowing EL eyes and even a pitch shifter for voice modulation, which I built on veroboard using an ATMEGA 328P, and wrote the software myself. I also fitted a BeQuiet fan into the head to keep things cool.

The tail was made largely from flexible hose intended for use with fish ponds and was completed about a day before the convention. For the rest, I used some robotic-looking paintball gloves, and Harley-style boots. Since CFZ2019 had a spy theme, I also brought the Johan Cross trenchcoat.
