Fursuit video tutorials and you: What do you want to see?

15 years ago General

To contact me outside of FA:
* Email: sara[at]matrices.net
* Social Media: Matrices' Bluesky
* Tumblr
* My "Contact Me" page on my website.

I've made a few recent tutorials on making specific aspects of fursuit building, the most recent two are:

How to Sculpt Fursuit Claws
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiQAbXYI_b4

and How to Attach a Fursuit Nose
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-YOGMSCmPo

I'm looking to expand my video tutorials and eventually update my site, http://www.matrices.net with them.

My question for you guys is this: From a beginner's point of view, what kind of tutorials would you like to see me make a video of? What part of my site would you like to see done in video format? And what perhaps, do you need help with that you think would benefit others in the form of a video?

Any specific aspect of it you would like explained further?

I was a bit blind when it came to making the neck fur, so that it looked somewhat seamless. If that was already in the head tutorial, then I must have missed it. If it's not already in, that would be cool.

How to make digitrade legs. I think its would be great for video.

How about ears? I've seen a lot of fursuit ears that look like they could use some work. It's one of those things that's a lot harder than it really should be to make. In my experience anyway. And I agree with

grion_wolffox about a digitigrade leg tutorial. I guess you already kinda have one in text/pic form on your site, (I used your method on my suit!) but a video would be pretty helpful too, I think.

btw, I think many fur use Matrices.net page for making fursuit.Can find there anything!
Just sometime afraid of can't understand it right, because I didnt see what have to do correctly. (like as digileg tutorial).

Unfortunately in regards to following eyes, to be honest, I just haven't tried to make them yet.

I have done moving ears, though. I plan to try a new approach with an upcoming head!

Resin eye installation.

Matrices ~matrices

Unfortunately I have to stick to things I know how to do myself. I have to be honest, I havent ever worked with resin, let alone done resin or realistic eyes.
I'm more of a toony eye person, myself. Do you have any other suggestions?

My website http://www.matrices.net/fursuiting.asp maybe can give you an idea of what I have accomplished in the fursuiting world.

Amoryllis ~amoryllis

:) Yeah...I've used your tutorials to make the feet for one of my past creations :)

well the legs yes and what to make the follow me eyes out of i used curtain shears glued to trimed down plastic asprin bottles for a better guess that some other tutorals sugessested paper roles and buckram but any thing would be a help beyound what you have done all ready

Bouch ~bouch

well i'd really like to see a how-to for the neckflap on a fursuit head, and the pattern makeing process after carveing out a foam base for the head, every tutorial ever skips that part and whenever i try the ducttape method i end up with a ball of tape and anger,

so yeah, a tutorial of extracting the pattern from a base to transfer onto the head would be tits

feralclaws ~feralclaws

A little more explanation for the handpaws? I used your tutorial to make mine and I got it eventually but it wasn't easy, I had to go off it a bit because I couldn't understand it. I remember wishing for a video...

Also it would be good to see how you glue in the claws.

DragonManStudios ~dragonmanstudios

I'd love to see you do a video tutorial on making patterns for handpaws. maybe also sculpting or creating noses

Much Appreciated, your Page is still my Number One tuts x3
And I still wonder, a Full Video on making a Whole Fursuit sounds like an Idea instead of Partials, but I then I knew that's quite impossible XD
