I am going to be the creepy animatronic bunny named Bonnie, from the Horror Video Game: 5 Nights At Freddy’s (where you need to survive 5 days in Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza which is haunted by murderous animatronics)
In the movie, which was created after the game, the animatronics’ eyes light up. I am considering having the ears, bow, or his red electric guitar light up- instead.
Here are my sketches:

Thank you to Wini who helped me get started with this excercise, and Mallika, and Gabriel for help troubleshooting!
Tuesday Oct 14 Updates:
- The costume will be a dark blue bodysuit I own + blue tights, a red velvet bow that I will buy, and the rigid, fragmented, bunny ears – which I will make from cardboard, wire, and felt. I will be adding lights to clear glasses, to depict the animatronic’s creepy glowing eyes – that turn from yellow to red to show that he is in his evil state. This will hopefully have a creepy effect.
- I will be using neojewels to represent glowing eyeballs. I may also add neopixel strips around the frames of the glasses ina constant yellow- to show the animatronic is “on” but not “evil”…. yet.
- Materials List:
- found cardboard (cut into the 4 ear fragments)
- dark blue felt
- grey felt
- stuffing
- sewing machine or needle and thread
- red velvet bow
