Guardians of the Gorge

Collaborative project - 2016-2018

From Guardians of the Galaxy

Guardians of the Gorge was a cosplay group run by Jared Booth, ans started when he first decided to make a full-size Groot costume from Guardians of the Galaxy. I joined in to help with the process, and ended up working on many other pieces for the other characters including Star Lord and Rocket. I also attended Rose City and Wizard World Comic-Cons with the group, providing support as a handler, backstage assistant, and on-site repairs.

Groot Process

Most of the pictures above are from Groot 1.0, these used more stationary drywall stilts and was covered in paper mache. Over the next year, Jared re-started the process, creating Groot 2.0 with circus performer stilts and re-covering the enture suit with a more durable latex. This one I have photos of the process as well.
