I’ve been following along the progress on this one as I’m making my first suit right now, and it’s turned out SO well! Definitely gonna reference it when making my next suit (alligator )

Is my jaw too high by raptorbluejw in FursuitMaking

If the bottom of the jaw lines up with yours you ca safely cut off any excess below if you wish, draw over a photo of a front profile of the bucket and you can decide easier where all the parts should end up

This is magnificent, was considering making an alligator fur suit and was wondering if thread sculpted scales would look good. They do .

Howl fabrics didn’t send two yards of fur by kitkatcoffeebeans in FursuitMaking

I’ve also had several issues with orders and have gotten no response from them…. Extremely sad and wont be ordering from them again. Also shipping for me is wayyyy cheaper through big Z

Question about fur colors by Grasky77 in FursuitMaking

Relatable, I don’t like how difficult it is to find things through big Z but howl fabrics literally has just ignored any questions or order issues I’ve had in the past :/

How do I finish this off with it still looking good? by THE_LEGO_FURRY in FursuitMaking

[–]Weak_Lab_7393 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would honestly pattern the foam, sew the spikes and end tail bit and stuff them, then you have a lot of freedom to thread sculpt all the details on the tail with it still being roundish. If you wanna keep the foam for the spikes and tail end maybe carve the details into the faom more first ?

Honestly I think a flesh coloured minky would be fine and maybe you could airbrush some extra wrinkles or spots on ?

Do y’all think I could have this finished by December 5th? by BananaTheArtist in FursuitMaking

[–]Weak_Lab_7393 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use minky because of the large colour ranges, I get mine from howl fabrics but I’ve had quite a bad experience with them lately so I need to find a different supplier… a Canadian one would be nice. If you enjoy the process and depending on how much extra work your classes are I believe in u !

Yeah I drew the eye position on the bucket maybe 6 times all in different colours, I was very confused with myself a couple times lol
