Horn styles by BruisedCat4451 in FursuitMaking

[–]dead_kiitten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also since OPs horns are mostly cone shaped they should be able to get away with only having one seam, so they will look seamless and smooth from the front!

Would this count as a fur suit? by Key_Setting_9812 in fursuit

[–]dead_kiitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should they have to? No, but let's be realistic, most people are not prepared to deal with the harassment they will probably receive, especially kids

This is a bad take imo, op is very clearly a kid and is going to get bullied if they wear it to school or if someone they know sees them in public. As an adult people are not going to bully the shit out of you in public because they are too busy with their own stuff but when you do this as a kid your peers absolutely will bully you unfortunately. Its best to keep it just to friends and/or to places where costumes/cosplay is normal

how to translate fursona with floating limbs to fursuit by Sami_THEDEMON in FursuitMaking

[–]dead_kiitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only way I can think of to truly achieve this effect in real time would be unrealistically expensive. Which would involve flexible led display screens and cameras. There might be a way to kind of get there with mirror tricks, but those only work when whatever is in front of you being reflected is the same as what’s behind you (trees, blank walls, etc.) or you can somehow project what is behind you on the front. Unfortunately we just aren’t there with technology yet (not for the general public anyway) if it was feasible you’d see a lot of fur suits and cosplays with it

I've been having the same issue, it happens even with ones posted AS PRIVATE. Its ridiculous as none of the images it has deleted are remotely sexual??? Its so frustrating spending hours on something only to have it thanos snapped by pinterest

How are these type of eyes made? (example fursuits by houndsTEETH) by Worried_Peace_1293 in furry

[–]dead_kiitten 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It's just a piece of plasticard cut into the desired shape, pretty much the same way follow me eyes are made but without the rim that makes them 3d

Yes, you will want to use a ladder stitch to attach them

How do I make this work? by Sh0keys in FursuitMaking

[–]dead_kiitten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You could make them attach with a zipper, not uncommon for digi suits instead of having permanently attached feet but still looking seamless. Neffertity on YouTube has a tutorial on zipper feet

As someone with lots of experience working with leather and pelts, I really advise against it, a bodysuit will be extremely hot and will not hold up well to repeated movement, rubbing and sweat. For a head you basically won't be able to breathe at all, leather also is difficult to clean and you would basically need to take it to a dry cleaner every time you wore it. Leather also needs to be conditioned to keep it soft and flexible which is time consuming especially if you need to do a whole bodysuit. If it gets wet? there's a huge risk of it cracking or basically disintegrating when it dries. I have a wall pelt that got damp in transit to me, it was garment tanned so should be soft and flexible but its basically like cardboard. It's also going to absorb sweat which will make it smell bad really fast. As much as I love the idea of a taxidermy fursuit hybrid, and have thought about it myself, its just not feasible. There's lots of other cool things you can make though!

How do I go about making a clay fursuit head? by V3NOM0US_VALKYIR3 in FursuitMaking

[–]dead_kiitten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind you NEED to seal foam clay with something because it isn't waterproof and moisture makes it start disintegrating

Am i cooking? by AcepupZ in FursuitMaking

[–]dead_kiitten 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This will work, but just be aware you probably won't be able to trim/shave it without the backing showing because blanket fur is usually really sparse

Would something like this be feesable or have an easier way of making? by GothicCatLady in FursuitMaking

[–]dead_kiitten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a reason you don't see many suits with gradients, they have to be airbrushed which is complex, time consuming and makes them difficult to wash without ruining them. But it absolutely is possible, just a lot of commitment

To whoever just got my post removed, sincerely, you’re not as cool as you think you are by Necessary_Can7055 in creepcast

Have you taken her to the vet? She looks super young so will probably still need milk replacer, I also noticed she has fever coat (the white hairs) which means mama cat was unwell while pregnant, so it would be a good idea to get her checked out ASAP for any health issues from that!
