I built the elk head interior and the other studio hands draped it. We had to do four of them total and we did them in record time (a week). We also did cloaks, paddles&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><!--more ... and Jager shots, brah!--><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/michelfiffe.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/JAGER-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3148\" title=\"JAGER-1\" src=\"http:\/\/michelfiffe.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/JAGER-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michelfiffe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/JAGER-1.jpg 648w, https:\/\/michelfiffe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/JAGER-1-236x300.jpg 236w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 648px) 100vw, 648px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nOk, Ok&#8230; so those aren&#8217;t the greatest antlers up there, but I had 15 minutes to drum it up. They eventually wanted to go more &#8220;dark&#8221; rather than &#8220;angelic&#8221;, so I made a second drawing. This time I cast a janitor, a struggling actor, and a hippie to stir the &#8220;ice cauldron&#8221; and I used the actual Jager logo for the design. Neat, huh?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/michelfiffe.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/JAGER-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"JAGER-2\" src=\"http:\/\/michelfiffe.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/JAGER-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"648\" height=\"780\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Below is a picture of me wearing a mock up of the elk head made out of cheap foam. I eventually used better, sturdier foam for the final head as well as the antlers. The axes are also &#8220;mock ups&#8221; for a completely different project. I think it had to do with elves on stilts juggling these things.<br \/>\n<a title=\"GMike3 by ZEGAS, on Flickr\" href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/24764730@N07\/3046855867\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3160\/3046855867_7930440667_o.jpg\" alt=\"GMike3\" width=\"360\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the final axe.
