My attempt

Got a fursuit to show off? Want advice on how to make one or where to get one? Feel the need to share pictures of your new wolf T-shirt? What about cute plushie or pair of fluffy ears? This is the place.

Yes it is going to be lime green with white and black the same as my ref art. If all goes as planned it should be done by this weekend i will keep this post updated as much as possible. Going to try the sandpaper it to smoothen it a bit out.

Thanx Ryall. So I made these gloves a while ago, I was just playing around with methods to make gloves and I made these, I am not entirely happy but it's a start, I am going to redo it with shortpile fur and Latex paw pads with sculpted claws.

So after a very long time contemplating to myself on whether or not to make the jaw look like part of the head I have done this. Not completely happy with it yet still need to smooth it out to make it look like lips but yeah. Please tell me what you think so far, what can be added or so. Also I might consider taking commissions in vacations if this turns out nicely and you all like it.
More updates to come soon, still need to source a load full of material.

Well to be honest I didn't know that I was capable of this until I tried it. There are a lot of very helpful tutorials on doing this on YouTube.

I'll rather not try it I can build wooden ships and model aircraft but give me something like this I'm going to mess it up, and if a sharp knife is needed to make a suite then I'll stay away, always manage to cut myself by accident....

So I got a bit busy today, and created something pretty awesome with which I astonished myself actually to be honest. Tried my hand at stitching and it went pretty well actually I present to you the creation of Yote's tail.
More updates soon I promise

Excellent work on the tail Mr Animosus! :)
I Like the colours and the textures. Would it be possible to fold that tail on itself so that it isn't as flat?

As for the head, it's coming along nicely, but I think it's going to end up being a bit too big - especially the muzzle - once you have added all the fur to it.
Now, you want to avoid making your fursuit look like this:
http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/ ... 5ae3fb.jpg
Admittedly the eyes (or lack thereof) are a big part of the problem in that fursuit attempt, but the comically large muzzle and head definitely detract from it.

Try shrinking it down as much as possible?
I am not sure how you would do that: perhaps try sandpapering it down a few centimeters? I don't know.
Hahaha! :lol:

I'm pretty sure he'll make two of those, sew them together and add stuffing.

Hahaha I laughed so hard for that link Ryall posted. Anyhow the head is basically an experiment if it doesn't work out I'm gonna redo it. Now for the update on mah tail. The tail I made symmetrical replicas on the fur and sewed them together with some help from my grandma. I stuffed the tail and the shape came out awesome, I made a belt hook on the end. Oh and the head looks much larger on the photos I posted I will post another pic for size after this post

Yes that is Tyger Nighteye my bud in the background. Anyway making the muzzle smaller will actually spoil the shape a bit see photos below, only thing I added was the back of the ears and I am unsure if it looks nice or not. What would you all, say should I add foam eyebrows to give it shape under the fur?

Edit: The nose will make the muzzle look more in proportion and the first photo is an example of how the camera makes the muzzle look much larger.

Next update might take a while, University started and I am going to be somewhat busy, but and there is always a but I will try and make time for the suit, my plan is to have it finished by October. I will try to make an update this week on it. I am so glad you all like my work so far.
I also want everyone's opinion should I go with a plush nose or latex?

Ah, I see, the muzzle actually isn't that big.

The completed tail looks awesome. :)

Tell Tiger Nighteye to shave his mustache. Also, he wiped that thing on your tail, so you might want to clean that now. :P

I think resin looks better, especially because you can paint it and sculpt it to look more realistic.
Hahaha! :lol:
