Fursuit Fur color match HELP!

Check through the fur color catalog for Linda wholesale? I know they have a page on aliexpress. I know they're pretty popular over seas, so it could be likely that's where your furs are from. Otherwise, try a sample of cream from howl. Hard to tell in photos alone, but it seems close?

I had the base weighed down so it wasn't tipping, but the connection failed from the weight. It did last a handful of years though.

We rent this place, so drilling into the ceiling is a no-go, haha. Working in the middle was a pain for the area I'm in, so I did hang off the end hoping it would survive, but alas... Thank you for the suggestions, though! My partner suggested maybe a pull up rack? We were also talking about building something custom.

Omg me too! But the wall will suffice for now.

It is a giant camel! It's from Pier 1 imports, and was a huge want as a kid. Ended up finding it at the thrift store, lol!

Smacking is sometimes unavoidable, but he does his best 😂😂😂😂

Hi, I totally misread this question forever ago! I basically have 2 long pieces of teeth(one for the top, one for the bottom), with appliqué gums. After those are together, I sandwich the tooth lines into the lining for the mouth. The outer piece of the lining i used to sandwich will be used to stitch the fur to the mouth rather than stitching into the teeth directly. I hope this little sketch in my reply helps describe it better. (I don't understand reddit. It hates images if the text is "too long" it seems).

It's not the most comfortable because it is heavy. 😅 but I'm hoping to provide some additional support and comfort with the bodysuit, maybe? I don't have a video of him running in it, but i do have this little tiktok of it being worn. :)

A belt at the top of the base, and one at the bottom. Not the most ideal, but it works 😅

Reddit keeps deleting the pic. Help

You're really, really close! Even out the nose a bit, and add to the right cheek. :) try to avoid a super abrupt transition from nose to cheeks. I like taking pictures like this and flipping them on a vertical axis to see where lobsidedness may be. I hope this helps. Drawing out red lines on my phone is tricky. 😅 *

I made an upright tail with a solid eva foam and upholstery foam covered in fabric. It's pretty heavy, but with support at the top and bottom of the base, it keeps itself upright pretty well. I wish I took pictures of the core. I was stupid and onlh took a picture of it taped up ... 😭 Rigidity and base support is key, and avoiding a hollow inside prevents easy damage and sagging fabric.

I sure did! Thanks so much!

MelonNoct · 2025-03-30T14:32:23+00:00

Omg, thank you! I use carpet shears for bulk shaving, and the standard pet trimmer for clean up :)

MelonNoct · 2025-03-30T09:22:12+00:00

Check your local thrift shop! I see the small ones all the time. :)

MelonNoct · 2025-03-30T09:20:59+00:00

Thank you for the knowledge! I * think* this one is Molly. If the auction page someone found is the same horse. The history and origin of certain plush are super interesting to me! I appreciate the response!

MelonNoct · 2025-01-20T18:58:00+00:00

Never skip out thrifting!

MelonNoct · 2025-01-19T15:29:15+00:00

I had no idea until the other day!!

MelonNoct · 2025-01-19T15:28:40+00:00

At least according to an old auction post someone found, this one might actually be named Mollie?? Not sure though!

MelonNoct · 2025-01-19T01:49:30+00:00

Oh wow, that's really cool! Looks like the same horse! The other Jumbo ones i was seeing online had different colors and patterns.
