I made the prototype and pattern for Emily Montoya's Cherry Blitz spray horse. She created the concept and original sculpture that is at Omega Mart in Las Vegas. She was working on the installation version while I was figuring out the soft product version to make them both ready for the Omega Mart opening in early 2021.
Cherry Blitz finished product, available in the Meow Wolf store
It has an interior plastic armature, so the legs and neck are posable.
It was a challenge to figure out how to securely attach the spray bottle head to the neck of the "spray horse". The material is a fabric backed polyurethane. It's thick so it took some tweaking to create the smaller shapes and body details.
I still haven't made it to Omega Mart in Las Vegas, but I'll get there eventually to have the most unique shopping experience of my life. Check out the truly awesome Omega Mart Training Video.
Adam Savage also picked up a Cherry Blitz while touring the southwest, check it out here: https://youtu.be/J6oPJmGsioA
Can you share the pattern?
ReplyDeleteNo, I can't share the pattern it's owned by Meow Wolf
Deletedid you create the concept plush for the lemon frenzy plush, and if so could you share the concept art and such for it? I would love to see it!
ReplyDeleteLemon Frenzy is the shape of Cherry Blitz with the neck stretched. I didn't make any concept art for this one since it was just adding pieces to the neck shape. I wasn't involved with the concept meeting for that one so I don't have anything to share.
ReplyDeleteLemon Frenzy is the basic shape of Cherry Blitz with the neck stretched. I wasn't in the concept meeting for that one so I don't have any development images to share.
