Fursuit Update #1
15 years ago
So I figured I should give a little update on how my fursuit is coming along.
For those of you that don't know I'm making a fursuit for my fursona. A snow leopard with inverted colors, so that just simply means a black cat with white spots and markings. Simple.. but hey it's me. Anyways... this is the first fursuit I have ever made and I can gladly say that I am proud of the work I have done. I am glad that she has come out fairly ... awesome... looking in my opinion at least.
As of right now though she is just a head, but that is the hardest part anyways. Her head was crafted from mesh and foam and then the fur has been applied. I finished basically furring the head today all that is left is creating the neck line as the suit is only going to be a partial (full suit is a bit out of my budget atm). Oh and I also have to airbrush the spots onto the fur.
Moving on. I got a new airbrush today! It is so awesome and shiny and new and I can't wait to get my head all done! You have no idea. the only disappointment was as follows: On the box for the airbrush (it's a special textile one so the inks wont run off in water or fade) it had pictures of ink bottles and the colors that come in the kit. I got excited that it came already with paint and that I didn't have to buy anything. However... I was most excited that it had white because white is exactly the color I'm going to need. But lo and behold I opened it up and they had ran out of white and substituted it with this ucky poo brown color... what am I supposed to do with that? So...... disappointment in that sense. Otherwise I'm still excited I just have to go and get white paint.
I'm like what... a 5th of the way done? whoooo! *does a happy dance*
Anyways... take care.. love yah all
