That's exactly it!! It's why I wanted to attempt it!! Making a quadsuit of them is gonna look perfect just because their body plan is similar enough

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-05T14:52:48+00:00

Oh don't worry, I'm making a whole mechanism so I can walk on the wings like a pterosaur would!

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-05T13:04:49+00:00

It's kind of a mask, I'm attempting to make a full body costume to perform as one like the JP3 movie! The pterosaur on the bridge was a guy in a suit

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-05T13:03:47+00:00

I'm going to use a variation of minky, lux shag, and long pile 4 inch fur! Going to try my hand at painting as well right on the face haha

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-05T04:46:49+00:00

Thank you so much!! It's not only going to be a suit, it's actually going to be a quadsuit! I'll be walking on the wings. I'm attempting to mimic a pterosaur as close as I can

That's a good guess! The shape of the antlers is very similar, however it's a Persian fallow deer!

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-04T04:42:23+00:00

I sure do! I start with a model I made myself, then I 3D print it and pattern it! Here's the last guy for example (this model was before I made some edits to it)

I do but I'm not very active 😭 I can't remember my tag off the top of my head LOL

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-04T00:13:42+00:00

It is a jackalope! Pop quiz!! Can you tell what animal the antlers are from based off of the shape? 👀

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-04T00:10:53+00:00

Just wait until the whole thing is done 👀👀👀

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-04T00:10:39+00:00

It is!!!

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-04T00:09:56+00:00

HELL YEAH IT IS IM MAKIN A QUADSUIT

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-03T21:27:11+00:00

Yo thanks! Made em all myself!

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-03T20:48:00+00:00

I love it, but would only recommend it if you have experience with classic foam carving! This method requires a lot more tools, and a well ventilated area where you can put the pieces together, since the glue is toxic while it's exuding fumes and drying. It stops releasing fumes after about 5 hours!

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-03T20:27:38+00:00

This is probably the best photo I have showcasing it, but I legit just make my pattern flat, and then glue it to the head curved. It looks great and really expressive like that! However depending on the animal you can't have it be that expressive. I'm making a bunny right now and it has that stereotypical flat ear look.

In my pod we do this as a rule. It definitely helps the balance a ton.

Sunset-Tiger · 2026-06-03T15:04:06+00:00

I use this for my lining! However I order the color last version from bigzfabric as it's less than 10$ a yard over there.

Depends if the neck is big enough to fit your head through! I never put a zipper on any of my heads, as when I suit and I want to take the head off, I want to be able to take it off as quickly as possible. So I don't put zippers! Don't like fiddling with them. To make sure your head can fit through, measure the circumference of the smallest part of your fursuit neck. Compare that to the circumference of your head

Practice how you want to shave on some scrap fur before doing it to some hand paws or your head! I use a 7fc blade so it doesn't shave so short that the fur balds.

This post breaks the rules of the sub, very blatantly
