The Old and New, the Good and Bad.
12 years ago
Soo, after getting a few things together and learning some tips and tricks at AC my head is BUZZING with ideas.... I have bought an airbrush and will start practicing my techniques tomorrow. I have a sewing machine to finally speed up things instead of hand sewing everything, and I now know how to more or less properly make partials.
What does this all mean you ask????
Well, I will be in the next couple weeks opening myself up for commissions!!!!!!!!!!!!! \o/
For now I will be doing:
~Tails
~Ears
~Hand-paws
~Feet-paws (maybe not right away on that one as I feel I have a little more to master)
Commissions will only be one or two at a time to start off till I can see what and who bites... and how often.
I will also be making random tails, ears, and hand-paws sets to put up for auction/sale. (I feel this will help me practice without fear of messing up specific details)
I have a name for my building site in mind but I am open for any suggestions you may have as a name...
Anyway, details regarding pricing and such will be coming soon
In other news, AC was great. I learned some VERY important things about Akiro the suit when dealing with long term wear. He is a brick for one... Only thing that broke was a tiny little circle to make my eye look like it has a light reflection. Other than that he survived the wear and tear... EVEN A FEW HEADSTANDS!!
However.....
I did find that overheating was a VERY big problem with the long term wear. He is just too heavy with glue and materials that airflow is a worry. He also lacks expression from what I noticed in various pictures. His jaw needs to be looked into the be more flexible. His weight distribution needs to be brought back as to not rest on my nose (ouch) and his paws/feetpaws need a revamp. These are picky things, nothing too major at least (I hope) but will most likely put him out of commission here and there.
In my final news.... I will be at the same time working on a second fursuit.
This one will be a fennic I have decided. I am a wolf at heart but I want something to look a little more real and still keep it's cuteness. Nothing is better than a fennic! You can make them a little more real looking and yet keep the cute factor still in play because of those big fun to play with ears!
I am bouncing on the idea of using a resin base but I really need to think it over. My new character will be red black and grey as it stands. Right now I am in the designing part and also need a name for him.
If you are worried... NO, he will NOT be replacing Akiro. This is something I want to do so I have the ability to play with Akiro more and not be fearful of taking something apart and ruining a good thing.
ONE last thing..... I tried a new approach to Akiro's squeaker at AC and I am VERY pleased with the results... My fennic will be "smaller" and need something a little different pitch wise to show it's fen fen personality, so... I am going to try a different approach to him. This will be a secret and I hope it works.
