Yeah, I'm still here. I'm working on a few things. When those are done I'll do a trade or two (already picked) then maybe another commission or so.
I'd post stuff, but it looks like my printer/scanner is down. What a lovely design feature of the Canon I have that it error messages for the printer, then doesn't allow anything to be done at all. *grrrr* The HP I had previous went 8 years without a single repair.
Though I will admit I've been having a real difficult time of it as of late trying to motivate myself. There just really seems to be a huge gulf between what I'm producing at this point and what I'd find acceptable that its hard to sit myself down and work on stuff.
I'm still looking into the fursuit thing. The one thing that could be tricky is/are the silvery paws. I'm not particular on what is used for them, but a metallic shine in some way is what I want. does anybody know of material (or suppliers of same) that could work for such a thing. I think I've seen some spandex tht has a metallic sheen to it, but I'm trying to find what's out there.
Other than that not a lot extra to report. MFF was very so-so. FC is looking more and more probable.
And in case I don't say it before then.... Merry Christmas.

Sorry MFF didnt' go so well, but at least we got to see the Blues Brothers. *peck*
I used 2 different types on my jackal's outfit. The skirt is a lighter silver that has a nice sheen to it and the bit around the headdress is a more metallic silver (doesnt show well in photo because of the angle, but you can see it reflecting on the neck armor, its was also way more elastic). http://home.mchsi.com/~fox/jackal.jpg
I probably have some leftovers in my scraps bin.
As far as the shiny paws go, mylar might have what you're looking for. While the stuff they use for balloons is far too thin to be durable, it might be possible to get it thicker or layered.
