Hey guys! I have decided to tell y'all this now that is official... the next character of mine I will be making into a suit is Zaphod! Here is a reference for him: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/12307092/ (he's #2)

He will have digigrade legs and I will try out something I've been curious about for a while, big, thick claws! I don't mean that I will be buying some from other people, I'm gonna try to make some soft, fleece-over-foam ones! I tried looking up tutorials for it without any luck, so this will be my little experiment >:3 I want them to be where I have just as much movement with them as I do with my current handpaws for Taco.

Another first with Zaphod will be working with a DTD (duct tape dummy) which is something I didn't do for Taco as I went completely off of measurements. Seeing as I have to work on DTDs in future suit commissions, might as well have good practice right? :D Knowing exactly what I must do for this though, I'm positive it will be easier than working only from measurements.

The last thing that I've never done before is a rat-like tail. I'll be doing it out of the same fleece I use for the nose, ears, claws, etc. The little tuft on the end will be adorable, I just know it!

I will be working hard on him, hopefully having him done before I start summer commissions (It will take me this long because of school) so that I will have more practice, something that has been pointed out to me that I should have before starting commissions.

I waited this long to tell you guys because I have said in the past that I was going to make different chaacters as my next personal suit, but they were all going to be for my sister who kept changing her kid until eventually she just didn't want one anymore. Making this guys into a suit is better because we can both suit together and because she doesn't have to make the choice herself lol.

Well that's it! I hope y'all are as excited as I am!!! I already have almost all of the supplies coming in the mail! It's official! I CANT WAIT!!!!

A big thank you goes out to my awesome friend  Akina.Echo for designing the character!
