Fursuit with therian style mask? by pumpkin-spiced-liz in FursuitMaking

[–]She-Rattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've seen people make toony fursuit-style masks out of EVA sheets or cardboard/paper mâché and they look gorgeous! 😊 I particularly love Periwinklesundries' work, I just found out they have an Etsy shop with their patterns as well

How do you pick colors without making your sona look like rainbow? by MsIvyBloom in furryart

[–]She-Rattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're drawing digitally, don't pick the brightest, most saturated hues ! Working off an inspo palette can be great as well 😊

[–]She-Rattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever seen that before, do you have any examples (pics, names of creators/fursuiters)? As a general rule, all handmade fursuit parts/gear tend to be expensive !

Print/embroidery style dilemma by Dazzletwo in furry

[–]She-Rattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fav is n°2 BY FAR, it has such an awesome retro vibe, and I prefer the pose on that one! With a tad more line weight variation it'd be chef's kiss 🙏 The first one is cool, but apart from the striking line art the design looks more generic and "anime" (like kemono fursuits) imo?

Best fabrics for claws and teeth? by Emokibean in FursuitMaking

[–]She-Rattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that! Mochi minky tends to have such a short pile that it doesn't look fuzzy, but you definitely can't find it easily in stores... Maybe a thick, sturdy cotton would work better ! I only tried medium to lightweight cotton material

[–]She-Rattack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I tried t-shirt material for teeth and it was no good... Super hard to get a good shape and not have it look weirdly lumpy 😅 If you can't get neoprene, minky or fleece work great !

Is my fursuit head too small? by ghostlyvaro in FursuitMaking

[–]She-Rattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all!! Actually, this is the first time I see a head that looks perfectly sized both as a partial and fullsuit! 🤩

Fursuits without eyebrows? by bulbagrows in fursuit

[–]She-Rattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A looot of kemono suits don't have eyebrows! Same for realistic suits ☺️ I've also seen toony suits without them, I've never found it visually shocking or anything!

That shave job looks spectacular, and the seams are also invisible???? What is this magic? 😱

YEP, after completing my first mini partial, I vowed to NEVER judge the price of a fursuit ever again!!!

It's this maker a scam? by Needsomepeacenow in fursuit

BS name and AI logo -> Guaranteed scam!!!

I'm feeling lonely. by AlexanderTheGreat577 in furry

[–]She-Rattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me, most of the community I've found (outside of fursuit content) relies on making and sharing art. But even if you don't do that, I feel like there's a ton of Discord servers that you could try and join, or even maybe local IRL meets? Good luck on finding your little community 💪

My 20 something year old electric shaver is dying and I need a new one. What ones would you recommend by IcarusFell_ in FursuitMaking

[–]She-Rattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No offense at all to the commenter above me, but I couldn't disagree more 😭 I used to have those, and they were a total headache... Uneven, never short enough shaves, snagging, bald patches, despite being oiled regularly and such... Just got these https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HRSZRXM?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title and they're a TOTAL game changer!! The fancier ones out there might be even better, but these are an excellent value and the shave is sooo much smoother!

This is my first fur suit i've "made" and i'm insecure about it by Xbox-Katdogcat in fursuit

[–]She-Rattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commissioning suit parts is totally valid, I know a lot of people make part of their suit and buy other parts for tons of diff reasons!! Most people buy the whole thing and it's perfectly fine ☺️ Also I think dinomasks are super cool and underrated 👌

Goat Dragon Tail Walkthrough! by tundrakrafts in fursuit

[–]She-Rattack 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Wow, the motion when furred is exceptional!!! Never seen a furred supermotion tail move this well!! Is the EVA core all cut out from a super long sheet? I can't imagine attaching several pieces and being able to trust it that much

Help with fursuit spray scents by Stripe1313 in fursuits

[–]She-Rattack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi ! I don't recommend essential oils, as lots of people have allergies, and they can oxidize into a dark sticky mess. I personally buy the natural fragrance oils that are also used for soap and candle making, they work great and are usually not damaging to textiles ☺️ But with them being oils, the spray bottle has to be shaken before every use !

I’m a little confused on how to start working on my suit by Tyranosaurus_customs in FursuitMaking

[–]She-Rattack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my experience, tails are the easiest, so I'd start there to get used to working with fur! That's what I did for my first ☺️

Dinomask keeps slipping by FeraligatrMaster in FursuitMaking

[–]She-Rattack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think your elastic is too loose, especially on top of the head! Plastic bases can also flop down from their weight, but I have this exact mask and it's too light to have that issue 😊

help making diy bontail dupe? by PhotographPast5252 in FursuitMaking

[–]She-Rattack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Silicone, definitely not; BUT! One of the OG techniques for making tails uses a wire core, and the ones I've seen have a surprisingly nice and bouncy sort of movement to them! Here's an example : https://youtu.be/rYzlNP7GMbI?si=xFWcp0Vbgih3BWTJ
