Fursuit HELP!
12 years ago
*Commissions are now offered through journals! Keep a lookout for them!*
|| Trello| TOS |Business HRS/Schedule || {EDIT} I also need to know which elastic to use for my head >.<
Ok, so I'm slowly but SURELY getting all the materials I need for my fursuit. Yes, I've researched and researched and researched for MONTHS before I even thought of buying the materials. But there are a couple things I'm really stuck on. Please remember I'm an extremely visual person and step by step (or even a video) would be EXTREMELY helpful.
I need some kind of tutorial on how to make digitigrade legs, how to put silicone pads (these pads are from
by the way) on fur, how to foam a resin mask (also from DVC), and how to add a skeleton for tail movement (I found one once but I lost it D: . I know it's something with pool noodles with a bendy wire. I WANT movement in my tail because it will be fluffy and I HATE having a super stiff tail.)
I have a good run down on how to do most of everything else. I just need help on those little things. The digitigrade legs thing I have a bit of a grasp on it, but I just need some more reference images and such of the foaming and gluing of them. I have some old skinny jeans all ready to get foamed up, and I'll be making a duck tape dummy of myself tomorrow with the help of a friend ^^.
OTHERWISE, since I've had extreme difficulty on finding effective tutorials on what I'd want, I've made the decision to make a tutorial and progress pictures of EVERYTHING on my fursuit. At least the ones needed. I've been quite frustrated with the lack of the tutorials so far, so... yeah lol. Please help me!

wow.....thats the very first time I've ever used the word gorgeous.........I think I'm slowly going gay
XD
digigrade legs are just simply foam that is cut to shape and glued together in sections in order to fit and then put on whatever you decide to put in it whether it be yoga pants or directly onto the suit.
tail help you can always make sections and string them together and then put the fur over it loosly but not to loose in order to get the flexbility you are looking for. and what you can use is either stuffing or extra soft foam both are light enough that they wont drag your butt down :P .
i dont have any videos on tutorials all i can provide are my words cause i dont even have my materials cause of the move but if you need anymore help im more than willing to help i own a fursuit and fur accessory business and ive made 2 fursuits and once i get my stuff again ill be making a third as quickly as i can but will be my best yet.
just send me a note or you know tyhe drill :P tell me if you need any more help
