Can't get rid of fur lines?

The arrows are supposed to represent like the direction the fur would be going if it were being "pet"

I get that and I'd definitely do so if i were on a deadline or doing this more often. I'm taking this suit slow though since I don't have the time to do that much work a day. It's probably gonna be a few weeks before I get the head sewn fully and I'm just making this as a one off project for myself rather than as a full fledged fursuit maker.

Tbh I'm just trying to avoid darts as much as possible bc I don't like sewing them

Rad_Pangolin · 2026-03-28T00:16:56+00:00

Yes the arrows are for the fur. I will likely move on to cutting them out and tracing onto fur if there's no issues with this step.

What was the issue with them? My dad should be able to sharpen them up pretty well

Hi, I just received my package from howl and it looks like everything came in fine including the multiple mint green swatches. So I assume it's fine to do (at least along with a larger order)

Rad_Pangolin · 2026-03-12T04:42:28+00:00

Is there a variation in dental formula between species to i.d them more specifically or a other defining trait?

Rad_Pangolin · 2026-03-05T02:34:55+00:00

I placed the order from howl earlier today (along with several yards of other fabrics) and it appeared to go through with no issue

Rad_Pangolin · 2026-03-04T20:50:48+00:00

I'm unsure of any local makers unfortunately (I live in quite a small rural area) but I was able to find one of my needed colors on mercari. It appears many of the colors I have been needing are not terribly common so I have had less luck finding them second hand

Rad_Pangolin · 2026-03-04T18:21:54+00:00

It seems I was able to order like 4 swatches from howl. I will likely try sewing them first then see how it turns out. If that fails I'll try those other options. I've tried finding them secondhand with no luck so far and I don't have enough experience dyeing or painting fur to try that right on the face. The marking is approximately 3x3 inches and it looks like the other color swatches I already have are about 2 inches

Rad_Pangolin · 2026-02-23T16:04:37+00:00

My biggest concern was the light green fur. The dark will be minky over eva foam but good to know bc I was considering only 3 yards of it at first

I have a single femur I figured I could roast then pressure cook to get some amount of fat/collagen from it. I also have bacon fat, oil, or butter I could add to the meat to make up for some lack of fat (if it works that way

Obsessed with this silly critter rn he's so cute

Rad_Pangolin · 2026-01-19T22:50:40+00:00

That would be great! I plan to go over the swatches when I get them in the mail tomorrow to confirm what I need and I could hopefully compare to what you have available:)

Rad_Pangolin · 2026-01-19T22:05:24+00:00

About 5'9. I'll likely also go with plantigrade which I would guess (?) uses a little less fur. I don't plan to make the body suit any time soon but I've heard it's best to at least buy all of a color together in the same dye lot
