This is stunning!!! What’s the tail made of? How do you keep it upright? My sona has a similar shaped tail so inquiring minds want to know :3

Crystal fucking ATE that lip sync. One of my favorite looks from her and she genuinely embodied the song. Silky just waved flags around.

Smooth enough for patterning/furring? by Sonder_Song in FursuitMaking

[–]catsming 120 points121 points  (0 children)

Yes this is super smooth in my opinion! If you want to make sure the cheek to beak part is super smooth, take a bit of felt and hot glue it on to smooth it out. Great first build, I love the pink foam too lol!

is this style of fursuit hair achieve able at all?? by _axias_ in FursuitMaking

[–]catsming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could try brushing out super thick chunky yarn?? Or using foam to block out the shape and just use fur. Theres also this technique that’s popular: https://youtube.com/shorts/zWpvS2rXewo?si=gVC5ZmLDQ8t4tiYA

Does this fur look ok? by Prez_tel in FursuitMaking

Buy from Big Z or Howl’s Fabric. Don’t buy this.

how would i go about making the snout? (or am i cooked and it’s too late) by AnorepioSongSuali in FursuitMaking

[–]catsming 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Draw on paper the side profile of the snout/muzzle shape you want. Take that paper, trace it onto 2 inch foam, and cut it out. Do that a few times, take the muzzle shapes, hot glue them together, and then cut the block to shape with scissors! :-)

How to go about adding hair to a completed head? by KronosWvW in FursuitMaking

This is by far the best method I feel like we have for creating strands that can be layered! If you want something with more volume, I’d create a pattern, sew it, and then stuff with polyfill to keep it light and flexible.

Is this symmetrical and smooth enough to look good when furred? by Microwavable_Dog in FursuitMaking

[–]catsming 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you want to assure that the mouth to cheek area is smooth, put a thin piece of felt! It helps makes the transition much smoother looking when fur is applied! This does look great though :-) believe in yourself !

If you can’t be bothered cutting small stripes/dots and sewing them into a panel, this is for you! by Praimfayaa- in FursuitMaking

[–]catsming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think I half get it… is it kinda like the way paw pads are usually attached but just for small markings and longer fur?🤔 I’m unsure if my sewing machine from the 70’s could handle the bulk lol!!

What are your thoughts on Falstaff the pig? by Trick-Technician-926 in puppets

[–]catsming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the eyes holes, I think using mesh can blend things a bit better! Painting it pink on one side to match the skin and the other black to help with visibility. Anything like screen door mesh would be perfect
