So i bulked up the cheeks and gave the bat more cheek bone yay. So.....do i have the green light now?? ^__^

So I've basically finished this fox head for the full fox suit I've been working on. I'd really love someone to make sure this looks ok because I'm terribly nervous to go ahead and start furring it without some confirmation that it looks ok. D:

Well! I have Dr. Schrecklich ALMOST done! The last bits needed are footpaws (I have one, I need the other), RED hair (the grey is temporary) and pawpads for his handpaws. I had some, but they fell off. They were sewn on, and an hour later they fell off. And then I glued them on, and the same thing happened. I'm thinking of gluing then sewing. Might work? Thoughts?

Now, here's the issue with the hair. I have this perfect size patch of fur in white. It needs to be red. On a scrap of white I dry-brushed it red. I figured, you know, you can't always get the right color. Why no try the painting/dying ideas? The drybrush on a one by one square of fur took twenty minutes to do. I let it dry, then combed it out to make it soft again. It never did get soft. There was also a lot of powder coming off of it, and it turned pink. Has anyone drybrushed fur before? Any idea why it did this? Any suggestions on what kind of paint to use?

I'm thinking of trying to dye it next, but I don't want to use the sharpie/alcohol method. Not a big fan of the smell.

I'm almost happy with the head. I took suggestions from last time I posted him... even ones I didn't like. A lot of people told me to put a pink nose on him, and even more draw him with the nose. He doesn't have a pink nose. But whatever, he has one now. I hate it on him. It's not his character. But I kept getting told that he needs one, over and over. So here's your nose.

Well, there you have it. All he needs is red hair, pawpads, and one more footpaw. Thoughts?

I'm making a suit of my character mange


(I apologize for the horribly drawn Abs ^^;)

But I want to put some muscles on it, like on Leo's suit

Though i'm a girl, and i'm not sure actually how to do the muscles so if somebody could help me out?

also I can't seem to find the right fur colors for him. I found a perfect red at DF (the dark red shag).
but I can't find any other colors :\

and does anybody have any suggestions on what I make the mask out of? I would like it to be removable as well.

oh and eyes like where there's tear ducts, and you look through those instead of the actual eye, like in some of mixedcandy's suits. Oh, well like on leo's suit lol

sorry for all the questions ^^; I just wanna get this suit right CX

A furry that lives near me made a wolf head and tail for practice. she cant fit it so she asked me to try it on, it fit and its pretty cute. It’s better than I can make but I still saw several big mistakes. Seams not totally glued down , eyes to not centered , teeth missing. Its made completely out of foam , nothing else is in the head. He doesn’t have a child friendly face , looks like a goth /punk wolf .

But for a first partial I thought it would be pretty cool. Anywho so I asked how much she wanted for it. she is selling the head , the tail , and one yard of fur left over from it…she is selling it for $300 .

Maybe im a newbie at this, but that seems a bit high to me. Please let me know if this is a good deal or not. I just don’t wanna pay for something I have to fix :(

Was just wondering how people attach eyes to their heads. What I've been doing is having the foam structure is built behind it, and gluing it directly to that. Do other people do it anyway else? Is there a way that's considered "best" to do it? Thanks in advance for the input! :3

I am looking for a source for a medium to light blue fur. Baby or powder blue would be too light. It needs to be about an inch long but could be longer. Does anyone have a yard laying around or a source where I can purchase some?

I am re posting this from my own journal because I am so pleased with Shadow's work I wanted others to see it who don't follow my journal. (Apologies for the spam for people who read my journal)

At Midwest Furfest, reddywhp took some fantastic pics of my fox costume that Katie "Shadow" Lipton ( theassassinnox )from Feast of Dreams recently created. I am extremely pleased with this piece. It was nice to wear something at a convention that was comfortable, lightweight, breathes easily, and not cumbersome.

I need a half yard pronto and don't trust CRs to get it to me within the week.. would pay for rush handling and shipping, plan to pay via MO or paypal. Please send me a note or reply here.
