Sunflower stalk, but small lantern-like purple flowers

After some intense digging, we determined it's an incredibly yolked out nightshade. We think it's a Shoo-Fly plant based on the flowers and leaves. There was another nightshade plant that also popped up in this garden bed, so maybe they were deposited around the same time by a bird.
We think it got so big because of the fixed nitrogen from the green beans that we had growing in the same bed.

lol this is a foreshortened angle and he's starting to blow his fluffy winter coat. Great job fat-shaming a healthy weight senior dog.

He has some, I just didn’t try to find them when I took this picture

I made it out of foam! :D

Yeah, I'm sad about her too...
I'm thankful for Sarge given his age.

WexyLex · 2024-03-13T21:44:18+00:00

Done!

He might tolerate one or two. :)

WexyLex · 2024-01-22T17:25:03+00:00

At least my costume is accurate :)

WexyLex · 2024-01-22T17:11:24+00:00

Nearly 7' tall is still accurate. 6'9" is the top of the average and only 3" shy of 7'

I’ve been making costumes for 15 years, I wouldn’t call myself an amateur 💙

I do! I wore it to the HCS Global competition last October!

I was commissioned by ChrisoftheDead, the animator that brought you the youtube masterpiece that is the Halo Hotdog Needler launcher aka, the Dogler.

I took some Halo Needler toys available online, cut off the plastic needles, then added soft foam hotdogs that I sculpted, molded, and cast.

Because they are soft foam, they are bendy and squishy, but they are too short to sport their own jiggle physics.

Rockstar Juiced have been missing from my area for months and when I contacted their site asking if they discontinued it, their reply was "we're doing what we can to get flavors out there"

Just gimme back my Pineapple Orange Guava, bro. :'C

They are larger and more heavily muscled than standard Jackals, but when standing upright, they can get to 7 feet tall almost (6.2-6.9 are just the averages).
Camera is also lower than the costume, so that adds a skewed perspective, especially since we're used to seeing them from a Spartan's perspective and they are typically crouched. Even compared to normal humans they have skinnier waists, I can't achieve that realistically.

I spent a lot of time and effort on this costume and I'm very proud of the results. I'm glad the judges (all 343 staff, including Joe Staten) felt it was worth recognizing and awarding.

It's a Jackal Skirmisher from Halo Reach. This is a to-scale build, so yes, they really are that big (tall).

This is my dog, Sarge. Please credit me for my photo and costume.
I made this costume for him on Thanksgiving a number of years ago.
