Re: My attempt
I am taking lots and lots of pictures of this head since I want to make a compilation video of it when I'm done with the whole thing. The fur has been properly pinned on, pre trimmed and is very close to being glued down. It is safe to say the head is around 70% done.

Re: My attempt
So here is my plan of what I am going to do with the making of the suit:
I am about 70% finish with the head, once the head is 100% complete (Finished furring, trimmed, added the neck, did the dry brushing).
After the head I am moving onto the body, I am doing allot of research before attempting the body and I would really appreciate it if someone would have some info on how to make the Digitigrade legs. I have a few concepts. So far Matrices looks the easiest. Along with the digitigrade legs I am going to make the feet paws.
After the body the tail which is really easy although this new suit is going to have a BIG tail.
Once the tail is done, I am going to make the hand paws. The Paw pads will be made of Marine vynil, which I will applique onto the hand paws. 100 times better and much cheaper than casting rubber. The claws will again be made of sculpting clay.
For now I am going to do Vex fox as a suit since I am struggling to get the fur for Yote. Yote will be made some day when I can source the right fur.
I am planning on having it all done before Geekfest.

Re: My attempt
Thanks guys, great to hear the following is still strong. I have to admit I was in quite a bad mood yesterday and very frustrated with the head, was close to scrapping it. So I had to see if anyone still cared hehe... insecurities XD
Let me update this thread by saying 95%. I was working so much on it that I forgot to check the time, one moment its 7pm next it's 10pm.
I am so excited I can barely contain myself, I am so tempted to spam everyone with pictures right now but it would make the final reveal less powerful. So keep watching this thread for the reveal video. Might upload tomorrow if all goes as planned.
Can't wait to show you guys!!

Re: My attempt
I still read here. Of course I read every thread... But I do like seeing the pics and it's great to know that more and more people are making fursuits in South Africa. Although I'm not sure how you can possibly wear them for about 10 months of the year but still nice that they're there.

Re: My attempt
I have to say, with the heat we have been experiencing I am wondering if a fullsuit would be a good idea, although winter is quite a long ass time and there are ways to cool down a suit such as aux fans and cooling vests. But also I had the head on at geekfest which was damn hot and it was before I installed the fan, it wasn't that bad. The only time I nearly died of heat was from 12-3 after that it's quite bearable.Rakuen Growlithe wrote:I still read here. Of course I read every thread...

Also at rAge I had the fan in and it worked quite well, could wear the head for hours if it was more comfy, the first one was really uncomfy considering all the plastic and what not inside, the new head is very very comfy and has space for a fan in the muzzle. When it gets really bad is when I panicked because of the large amount of people and the feeling of clausetrophobia hit me, then my body generates allot of heat. But I just ran for the first entrance to the LAN area and took off the head.
But also I do understand why so little people attempt at making fursuits. Time, time, time and money. It isn't cheap and it takes allot of time and dedication. I have too much love for the art to just leave it because of those factors. I try to encourage people as much as possible to make their own fursuits it really isn't difficult. Obviously your first attempt won't look as good as Mixed candy but hey, it can only go better from there. You all saw where I began and how I improved.

Re: My attempt
Let's say 99% complete, I messed up a bit with the neck. I didn't measure my shoulders correctly. Apparently my shoulders are broader than 13 inch, which is allot. Also I am considering dry brushing it to give it a bit of depth

Re: My attempt
Yup, copyright laws are a complete mess and mostly serve to harm the public's interest. Not saying they are all bad but they are taken too far to the extreme.

Re: My attempt
The thing is the copyright claim is from some or another EDM claimant. The song is originally Copyright free from the creator. It's fucking childish in my opinion.Rakuen Growlithe wrote:Yup, copyright laws are a complete mess and mostly serve to harm the public's interest.
