trying to make my first fursuit

okay, it has a static jaw - mainly because i think i wouldn't be able to make a moving one - but i've been working on the base for my first fursuit head - and here are a couple of in progress pics. what do you think?



and this - just cuz:

ah cool, that looks really good! you'll have to show me how you did it!
bah, im jealous >>

i used this tutorial:

Matrices Fursuit Head Tutorial

took me about 3 1/2 half hours

I could never make a fursuit, but this looks like its gonna be good.

I'll check that tutorial out when I come to making mine

Keep us updated!

made a pattern for the fur - just waiting till i have enough space to attach it all to the fur now:

ooo wow, this is really coming along huh? you've made loads of progress!

right, needs a sculpy nose and something to cover the eyes, but Murphey - he is coming along nicely:

I used this tut; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFVRq2Hpl9o for making mine.

Looks good so far, needs trimming and some air/dry brushing just to smooth out the blocks of colour.

ah so cool :D
You can make me one next! haha

thta's definately a more informative tutorial - cheers amy. will use it when i'm making the next head. as for airbrushing, i really like the feel of the fur right now, and i don't think there is too much blocky colour except where i've intended (plus i don't own a spray gun) so i'll skip that for now, at least until the rest of the pieces are done, but thank you for the advice all the same.

in the meantime, i have been trying to get into Murphey's head, and found this - i think it says it all:



and :

progress - Murphey now has his collar - and his character. next stop - arms and paws



also - really need to get some gauze or mesh to cover the eyes

that looks awesome!! :O
i have some of the stuff i used for Yoshi's eyes kindly donated by Atashi left if you want to use it?


ps......bloody bacon AGAIN??!!

the bacon rules me now, i cannot fight it.

i would gladly pay the postage if i could get a little of that fabric - nowhere around here sells it

hey hey - made hand paws today, decided to make them separate from the sleeves, so i can eat, etc. so...

Looks awesome!!
yeah will send some on if you email me your address, dont worry about postage etc, wont be much at all.

okay - minus props, but murphey is nearly complete - just need to put something on the bottoms of his feet

:O soooooo coool, i'm really jealous!!! Gah I so desperately want my own now!!

i like

Is it going to be use-your-own-eyes or tearduct vision?

there is actually black shiffon over the eyes, now, but i think its a little thin. or it could be that the flash was a little bright on the camera

ahhhh i knew i forgot something! i forgot to send you that fabric!! im so sorry quick >< i fail. You still want some?

Wicked suit, can you guestimate a time/cost invested just out of curiousity?
I love the picture of the patch too

I would so comission you to make me one....how much would you charge for that?

Though I don't have much atm, would need to save up, still...

i honestly don't know - i'm not even sure of how much it cost to make. plus, it's taken me weeks to get to this stage - and even that is pretty shoddy. plus, there's the little matter that my folks won't let me make another one in the house - they went nuts about spilt fur, even when i thought i'd cleaned it up - dman clean freaks
