[MAKE BELIEVE]

Sign is finished. Overall I'm happy with it

The print before and after the paint job

Cool prop. Nice to see something that doesn't get made a lot!!

Very nice obscure prop (I love those) The only thing you forgot is the little white dot at the bottom of his eye (you know, the Moon and all).

The print you used to paint over is actually my illustration (rabid weasel studio) You did a great job.

Thanks. Good to know who it belongs to. As I said I searched the web for the highest resolution pic - yours was the higher I could find.

The recent 3 disc UHD release of the film has a great replica painting/poster of the image on the pub sign. Been unsuccessful finding a scan of it though, other than what was on the release promotion pics. Pretty straightforward to perspective warp it in photoshop though. But would love to source a higher res. I'm sure if someone posted on the reddit horror sub, someone there with the box set in their collection might oblige scanning it, but I don't have a reddit account to inquire. Problem is though, the released version has it folded like in the 2nd picture.

Fantastic poster. Would love to be able to get a print of it. So good if someone could have a print of it. Folds could be erased on photoshop maybe?
Thanks a lot for posting this Odin

What I could get from the promotion photos with photoshop and the clone stamp tool to remove the arrow and dvd on the corners. Maybe someone more skilled with PS could do much better. Looks like the width could be narrowed slightly - moon looks more oval in my quick PS

Added original sign for comparison

Man you're fast (and helpful). Thanks a lot

If it is not asking too much would you be able to do the same with the coaster (not in size but on correct vertical position).
Thanks a lot and sorry for "pushing it".

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Ok. Not so oval.
Thanks again Odin for posting this

 

[Odin82]

Great job. I might have another go at perspective warping it later. The screen used sign, the base of all the writing seems to be in line, so might try re-aligning it again. With the text aligned, the right side of the head would rise a fraction.

I'll DM you the beer mat images. I'd be afraid of posting something that might break some rules, or end up on ebay. The backs of the beer mats have "Universal" printed on them so I'm guessing they are official.

Thanks mate.
Yes pls don't post it - last thing we'd want is problems
Thank you

Have been planning on doing a full size sign for many years. Maybe back in 2017, got a graphic designer friend try their best to do something with the screen cap from the blu-ray. Have the old printouts resting in a corner still. When I saw the image on the new Blu Ray set, reignited the need to make a full size sign, and remembered I had seen your thread on here earlier this year. Might just print the image out A2 matte and just stick it on some routed wood, and do some weathering to some matte clear finish. I loved your way with the dremel putting the splits in the wood! Will definitely be giving that a shot!

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Yes mate. Had a great time doing this sign and especially weathering it
Will be waiting for your post on the sign

There actually is a Slaughtered Lamb Pub in NYC Greenwich Village. Here's there sign. Looking forward yo yours. Will you do your own art or try to sceengrab and print?

There's a number of pubs and bars called the "Slaughtered Lamb" all throughout the world because of the film, funny enough! There's also a number of "Curl Up and Dye" hair and beauty parlors because of the Blues Brothers movie, too.

You might enjoy this video. Kessler Wolf almost. Was made for an Aussie TV pilot apparently. Looks amazing. Since it's for sale, I guess the TV show didn't make it.

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Great video Odin! Thanks for posting it

I'm thinking about asking if they still have the molds of the head to see if they'd do a run, or willing to sell blanks. The entire rig is 32K for the torso and walking on ebay. If they still have the molds, some resin blanks man... To my eye, that's 99% the AWIL wolf!

 

[MAKE BELIEVE]

Yeap, fantastic likeness. Wouldn't mind at all having the mold of the head but I'm sure it will not be very much affordable
