Caracal fursuit progress update
15 years ago
General
Oh hey-yo. I just realized I haven't really said/shown anything regarding my latest fursuit since I posted my concept for him, so here's my (somewhat limited) progress thus far! This'll probably end up kind of lengthly and technical, so feel free to skim/TL;DR this XD
I'm FINALLY almost done foaming the head. The follow effect eyes are installed and looking pretty good. The nose is sculpted, baked and painted. I think I just wanna add one or two more tones of paint to it, but then all I have to do is put some Mod Podge (makes it shiney :3) on it and attach it to the mask.
His ears are... SO BIG <3 zomg I love them. Right now I'm having a little issue getting the jaw to move as well as I'd like it to. I think it just needs some more padding on the inside of the mask near my forehead because when my jaw moves down to pull open the jaw, then entire mask shifts down a little as well.
So yeah. Mask's almost done being foamed.
The fur just came in the mail today! Looks really nice, and it's so soft <3 I got a sewing machine for Christmas, so hopefully all of the sewing that would normally take up most of my time will become the fast part of making the costume.
Duct tape dummy is made, and I've got the start of the digigrade padding on it. Definitely needs some more/needs to be sculpted a bit, but it's got the basic idea.
...Yeah. Not too much done thus far. I've certainly got my work cut out for me in the next week or so. I go back to Rhode Island on the 22nd, and I'm going to a concert on the 21st, so I lose that day.
fksljflsj... wish me luck X.x

I HATE accepting people's help unless absolutely necessary. If I didn't wanna make this suit on my own I'd just commission something.
Almost done foaming now, so expect a video of the jaw/eyes within the next hour or so! :3
