Dog peoples, other fursuit head stuff
17 years ago
General
Spent pretty much all night working on Brighton and Mome Rath, the malamute and husky pair of suits on my plate right now. Matrices helped to tweak one of Brighton's ears so it looks a little more balanced, but I'll finish that up probably tomorrow. I fully furred Mome Rath tonight (while watching Alice in Wonderland, of course), and started shaving down her muzzle. I was a little drunk so I took it easy and just did the basic trimming, I'll save the detail work for more sober times.
Matrices sculpted a nose for Brighton in exchange for a package of Sculpey Ultra Light (my new favorite stuff), and I'll try and match a nose for Mome Rath in the same style, shouldn't be too hard. Brighton just needs his finish trimming, teeth installed, nose attached, and eyes placed and his head is finished. I took it from a foam blank to this stage in less than a week. Mome Rath went even faster, I can't believe it.
Rainfurrest is in less than a month. I know I won't have Brighton and Mome Rath fully ready to wear at con (as awesome as that would be, I just don't think I have the energy to devote to it). I do have two older heads I want to revive and try to hawk in Artist's Alley though - a deinonychus/velociraptor that I think I'll be furring in forest green, black, and bright white, and then a generic arctic fox. The raptor needs it's mouth finished up, and the fox needs it's foamwork finished before I can even think about furring.
What are "off the shelf" fursuit heads selling for nowadays? I have no intention of seeing either the raptor or the fox to finished suits for myself, nor do I really want to make them into partials for sale on furbid. Just heads.
