Re: Halloween prep - Skullcat
In the homestretch now. Painting is done at least & Skully is resting quietly in my living room as her varnish dries. The brown on her ears was a bit dull so I brushed some metallic brass colour over it - pops nicely now!

I am closing in on the finish line! Glue for straps are clamped & curing. If these don't work, then everything has been for nothing. #nopressure ^___^;;;

That's really great. I especially like the ears, leaving out the colour, they look really lifelike.

Re: Halloween prep - Skullcat
I can't take credit for the base, but the ears were the things that comvinced me to buy it. I adore them! I hate it when you see a really good fursuit head/costume with reeeeaaaally crappy ears. This cut out the guess work. <3TorturerForHire wrote:That's really great. I especially like the ears, leaving out the colour, they look really lifelike.
DUDE! I wanted to show you those! I am sure you could make a killing 3D printing the "cases" & putting together the inner works. People really liked them &, from my layman's perspective at least, they seem simple to assemble. I would suggest some edits to make them more user friendly.Sir Sneppington wrote:I like the LED fingers!
Depressingly, more people were excited about my LED Mr Price shoes than Skully. I did get compliments though & it was fun wearing her! I learnt a lot. Now need to make some adjustments to her to make her even more amazing! <3Stranger wrote:Fantastic job! I bet you're going to be a hit! :3

Re: Halloween prep - Skullcat

Awesome job on the skull!!! Really loving it!!

10/10 would buy those LED's to put into the fursuits, I've been looking for a while now for small LED lights that doesn't take much wiring.Sith Nadir wrote:DUDE! I wanted to show you those!

The trouble is when you have to change 20 tiny batteries!
They are pretty cool though! What do they fetch for?

Re: Halloween prep - Skullcat
Herrooooo! I was wearing a Steven Universe shirt at GeekFest. Thanks for the vote of confidence! I see so many things that I might have done differently if I hadn't left it to the last minute BUT THAT IS THE ESSENCE OF COSPLAY!YoteFox wrote:I just realised I've met you in person at Geekfest when I was suiting.

Oh dramaqueen! Tis only *3* batteries! ;P I bought 4 for a pound, so like R5 each? I would totally have paid more though - they are flippin' epic & I felt more at ease with the enclosed unit versus wiring. What do you reckon the components would cost?Adagio wrote:Die moeilikheid kom in...Unplanned Pregnancy wrote: 10/10 would buy those LED's to put into the fursuits, I've been looking for a while now for small LED lights that doesn't take much wiring.

Re: Halloween prep - Skullcat
I mean 20 as in 20 digits! Haha!! 10 fingers, 10 toes, assuming he wants to make his nails glow...
LED is R1, about the same for the plastic enclosure... I Don know whar button cells cost... But I think a bit more than R3...
In South Africa I cant realistically make them for R5...

Re: Halloween prep - Skullcat
Given your captive audience, you could charge more or alternatively, go "batteries not included".Adagio wrote:I mean 20 as in 20 digits! Haha!! 10 fingers, 10 toes, assuming he wants to make his nails glow...

Re: Halloween prep - Skullcat
Why not wire all the LED's to a chargeable battery pack? Use the same enclosure but have a wire running out going to a battery pack that can be put into an internal pocket on the suit?
